Prolonged exposure to abiotic stresses causes oxidative stress, which affects plant development and survival. In this research, the overexpression of ZmARF1 improved tolerance to low Pi, drought and salinity stresses. The transgenic plants manifested tolerance to low Pi by their superior root phenotypic traits: root length, root tips, root surface area, and root volume, compared to wide-type (WT) plants.

Additionally, the presence of fractures causes the formation of stress-sensitive characteristics. Nevertheless, traditional analytical models, such as the two-region model or three-region model, overlook the coupling impact of the above factors, which could lead to incorrect pressure transient response and erroneous estimation of well and formation parameters.

Currently, limited attention is given to the pressure transient analysis (PTA) of the fractured wells located in a stratified reservoir. Moreover, the proppant is very difficult to move inside the hydraulic fracture in the deep-layer reservoir, leading to the uneven fracture conductivity along the hydraulic fracture and increasing the complexity of PTA.

We previously reported that HS treatment increased the length between two hyphal branches and induced the accumulation of ganoderic acid biosynthesis and the gene expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in Ganoderma lucidum. In this study, we found that HS induced a significant increase in the cytosolic ROS concentration, and exogenously added ROS scavengers NAC, VC and NADPH oxidase (Nox) inhibitor DPI reduce the cytosolic ROS accumulation in G.

In the present study, the function of Ganoderma lucidum GlSwi6, a homolog of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Swi6, was characterized. RNAi was used to examine the function of GlSwi6 in G.

In this article, a homologous AOX gene was identified in Ganoderma lucidum. The coding sequence of the AOX gene in G.

In this study, we characterized an Slt2-type MAPK in Ganoderma lucidum, GlSlt2, which was transcriptionally induced during the primordium and fruiting body stages. RNA interference was used to examine the function of GlSlt2.
