Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase FonPARP1-catalyzed PARylation of protein disulfide isomerase FonPdi1 regulates pathogenicity of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum on watermelon.

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation), catalyzed by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) and hydrolyzed by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG), is an important reversible post-translational protein modification in all eukaryotes, including plant pathogenic fungi. Previously, we revealed that FonPARP1, an active PARP, is crucial for the pathogenicity of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.

Enhancing soil quality in soybean cultivation: Mycorrhizal technology combined with intercropping under high cadmium stress.

Cadmium (Cd) contamination presents a serious challenges for sustainable agriculture. This study evaluated the combined impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation and intercropping with Solanum nigrum on soil microbial diversity, enzyme activity, and environmental factors in soybean cultivation under high Cd stress. The combined treatment effectively reduced bioavailable Cd in soil, with the acid-soluble Cd fraction at 19.

Transcriptomic analysis of the HPT axis in a model of oligoasthenozoospermia induced by Adenine in rats.

Male infertility is most commonly caused by oligozoospermia, and its pathogenesis is still poorly understood at the molecular level. This study used RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology to identify candidate genes and regulatory pathways that regulate semen quality in the hypothalamic, pituitary, and testicular tissues of healthy rats and Adenine-induced oligozoospermia model rats. Semen quality testing and histological analysis of testicular tissues were performed on both groups of rats.

High strength, self-activating ability and fast adhesion of polyurethane adhesives based on rosin structure in different environments.

Underwater adhesives hold significant relevance in daily life and applications. Despite great efforts, the development of high-performance underwater adhesives through a simple and effective method remains a difficult challenge. Herein, a high adhesion and environmentally stable polyurethane underwater adhesive (DAP-PU) was developed based on rosin with a hydrogenated phenanthrene ring skeleton to design hydrophobic domains, and combined with multi-strength hydrogen bonding interactions to construct "polar hydrophobic domains".
