OsNCED5 confers cold stress tolerance through regulating ROS homeostasis in rice.

Cold stress is one of the most serious abiotic stresses that affects the growth and yield in rice. However, the molecular mechanism by which abscisic acid (ABA) regulates plant cold stress tolerance is not yet clear. In this study, we identified a member of the OsNCED (9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase) gene family, OsNCED5, which confers cold stress tolerance in rice.

[Analysis of drug-resistance mutations and treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia in children in Hunan Province in 2023].

To investigate the drug-resistance mutations and treatment of hospitalized children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) in Hunan Province. Children with pneumonia, who were hospitalized in the pediatric ward of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, were enrolled in this study, and their clinical data was also collected. The targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) was used to detect Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection and drug-resistance mutations, and the drug-resistance and treatment in children with MPP were also analyzed.

Physiological and metabolic responses of to cadmium stress.

Unlabelled: is a significant medicinal plant indigenous to China and Vietnam. In China, is mainly grown naturally on limestone mountains or is cultivated artificially in arable land. Heavy metal contamination in agricultural soil, particularly cadmium (Cd), poses serious threats to soil health, as well as the growth and productivity of .

Why Collect and Use Race/Ethnicity Data? A Qualitative Case Study on the Perspectives of Mental Health Providers and Patients During COVID-19.

Context: Calls to collect patients' race/ethnicity (RE) data as a measure to promote equitable health care among vulnerable patient groups are increasing. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how a public health crisis disproportionately affects racialized patient groups. However, less is known about the uptake of RE data collection in the context of mental health care services.
