IbINV Positively Regulates Resistance to Black Rot Disease Caused by in Sweet Potato.

Black rot disease, caused by Ellis & Halsted, severely affects both plant growth and post-harvest storage of sweet potatoes. Invertase (INV) enzymes play essential roles in hydrolyzing sucrose into glucose and fructose and participate in the regulation of plant defense responses. However, little is known about the functions of INV in the growth and responses to black rot disease in sweet potato.

Transcriptome Characterization and Gene Changes Induced by in Sweetpotato Roots.

Sweetpotato () is an important root crop that is infected by in both seedling and root stages, causing irregular black or brown disease spots and root rot and canker. This study aims to use RNA sequencing technology to investigate the dynamic changes in root transcriptome profiles between control check and roots at 6 h, 24 h, 3 days, and 5 days post-inoculation (hpi/dpi) with . The results showed that the defense reaction of sweetpotato could be divided into an early step (6 and 24 hpi) without symptoms and a late step to respond to infection (3 and 5 dpi).

Exposure to higher concentrations of exogenous ELABELA causes HTR-8/SVneo trophoblast cell dysfunction: A possible pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia.

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a multi-system disorder of pregnancy which constitute one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal mortality worldwide. Dysfunction of trophoblast cells have been play an a significant role in the development and progression of PE. ELABELA (ELA), an endogenous apelin receptor (APJ) ligand, is a hormone secreted by the placenta into circulation, we previously identified ELA and its cognate apelin receptor (APJ) as proteins that are differentially expressed in the placentas of humans with PE.

Development of a dual RT-RPA detection for Sweet potato feathery mottle virus and Sweet potato chlorotic stuntvirus.

The disease co-infected by Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV) and Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV) is devastating in sweet potato, as it would give rise to the serious losses in both production and quality. Consequently, it is conducive for preventing and controlling this disease to detect these two viruses accurately and timely. Here we developed and optimized a dual reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) for rapid and accurate detection of SPFMV and SPCSV.

Prognostic Role of the C-Reactive Protein/Albumin Ratio in Patients With Gynecological Cancers: A Meta-Analysis.

Background: Many studies have investigated the prognostic role of the C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CRP/Alb ratio) in patients with gynecological cancers; however, there is lack of consensus owing to conflicting results across studies. We performed a meta-analysis to determine the prognostic role of the CRP/Alb ratio in gynecological cancers.

Methods: We searched the PubMed, Embase, the Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang electronic databases since inception to April 2021.

Combination of Ferulic Acid, Ligustrazine and Tetrahydropalmatine attenuates Epithelial-mesenchymal Transformation Wnt/β-catenin Pathway in Endometriosis.

Previously the potential therapeutic action of ferulic acid, ligustrazine and tetrahydropalmatine (FLT) are discovered with unclear mechanism in rat autograft endometriosis. However, the effect of FLT on endometrial cells and allograft endometriosis is still unclear. This study is designed to elucidate the influence of FLT on epithelial-mesenchymal transformation in allograft endometriosis and endometrium cells.

Combination of ferulic acid, ligustrazine and tetrahydropalmatine inhibits invasion and metastasis through MMP/TIMP signaling in endometriosis.

The genetic structure of Turnip mosaic virus population reveals the rapid expansion of a new emergent lineage in China.

Background: Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) is one of the most widespread and economically important virus infecting both crop and ornamental species of the family Brassicaceae. TuMV isolates can be classified to five phylogenetic lineages, basal-B, basal-BR, Asian-BR, world-B and Orchis.

Results: To understand the genetic structure of TuMV from radish in China, the 3'-terminal genome of 90 TuMV isolates were determined and analyzed with other available Chinese isolates.

Molecular variability of Tobacco vein banding mosaic virus populations.

The incidence of Tobacco vein banding mosaic virus (TVBMV) on tobacco increases dramatically in China recently and it has caused great economic losses. To gain insights into the evolutionary mechanisms of TVBMV, a total of 40 TVBMV isolates were collected from different tobacco production regions in China and their genomic regions encoding helper component-proteinase (HC-Pro), the third protein (P3), the first 6K protein (6K1) and coat protein (CP) were sequenced. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that TVBMV isolates can be divided into two evolutionary divergent groups based on P3, the frame-shifting pipo and 6K1 genes, and three groups on HC-Pro and CP genes.

Phylogenetic analyses of an isolate obtained from potato in 1985 revealed potato virus X was introduced to China via multiple events.

Potato virus X (PVX) is one of the most common plant viruses that cause great economic losses to solanaceous plants. We have previously reported the complete genomic sequence of the 2006 Chinese potato isolate FX21 and demonstrated that PVX isolates cluster into two groups: Eurasia and America. Here, we present the complete genomic sequence of one PVX isolate collected from potato in 1985 (PVX-1985).
