Transcriptome and Proteome Association Analysis to Screen Candidate Genes Related to Salt Tolerance in Leaves under Salt Stress.

This work aims at studying the molecular mechanisms underlying the response of to salt stress. We used RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) techniques to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in leaves treated with 0, 200, and 500 mM NaCl for 72 h. The results indicated that compared with the 0 mM NaCl treatment group, 2391 and 6400 DEGs were identified in the 200 and 500 mM NaCl treatment groups, respectively, while 47 and 177 DEPs were also identified.

Exogenous hydrogen sulfide improves salt stress tolerance of seedlings by regulating active oxygen metabolism.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS), as an endogenous gas signaling molecule, plays an important role in plant growth regulation and resistance to abiotic stress. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of exogenous HS on the growth and development of seedlings under salt stress and to determine the optimal concentration for foliar application. To investigate the regulatory effects of exogenous HS (donor sodium hydrosulfide, NaHS) at concentrations ranging from 0 to 1 mM on reactive oxygen species (ROS), antioxidant system, and osmoregulation in seedlings under 300 mM NaCl stress.

Development of the Chinese preschooler dietary index: a tool to assess overall diet quality.

Background: Diet quality in early childhood has a long-term impact on health outcomes. However, there are scarce dietary indexes for Chinese preschool children, and the existing indexes had limited validity and reliability. This study thus aimed to develop a dietary index for preschool children based on the Chinese Dietary Guideline and Chinese Dietary Reference Intakes and to assess their overall diet quality using the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS).

[Effects of nitric oxide on the oocyte and embryo development in mice].

Objective: To evaluate the effects of exogenous nitric oxide on mouse oocyte maturation in vivo, in vitro fertilization and embryo development.

Methods: By intraperitoneal injection, the experimented female mice were administered separately with sodium nitroprusside (SNP) of dosages at 1.0 mg/kg, 5.
