Identification, Phylogeny, and Expression Profiling of Pineapple Heat Shock Proteins (HSP70) Under Various Abiotic Stresses.

Pineapple ( (L.) Merr.) is an economically significant and delicious tropical fruit.

IDEAL-IQ measurement can distinguish dysplastic nodule from early hepatocellular carcinoma: a case-control study.

Background: Previous studies have confirmed that malignant transformation of dysplastic nodule (DN) into hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is accompanied by reduction of iron content in nodules. This pathological abnormality can serve as the basis for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This study was designed to identify the feasibility of iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least squares estimation-iron quantitative (IDEAL-IQ) measurement to distinguish early hepatocellular carcinoma (eHCC) from DN.

Pre-soil fumigation with ammonium bicarbonate and lime modulates the rhizosphere microbiome to mitigate clubroot disease in Chinese cabbage.

Background: is an ever-increasing threat to cruciferous crop production worldwide.

Aims And Methods: This study investigated the impact of pre-soil fumigation with ammonium bicarbonate (N) and lime (NB) to manage clubroot disease in Chinese cabbage through 16S rRNA gene amplification sequencing.

Results: We found that soil fumigation with N and NB suppressed disease incidence by reducing the soil acidity and population of in the rhizosphere.

Chinese expert consensus on imaging diagnosis of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the major infectious diseases in the world with a high incidence rate. Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is a key and difficult challenge in the prevention and treatment of TB. Early, rapid, and accurate diagnosis of DR-TB is essential for selecting appropriate and personalized treatment and is an important means of reducing disease transmission and mortality.

Whole-genome sequencing and comparative genome analysis of YM2 causing angular leaf spot disease in strawberry.

Background: Angular leaf spot disease caused by plant pathogenic bacterium seriously threatens strawberry crop production globally.

Methods: In this study, we sequenced the whole genome of YM2, isolated from Yunnan Province, China. In addition, we performed a comparative genome analysis of YM2 with two existing strains of YL19 and SHQP01 isolated from Liaoning and Shanghai, respectively.

Crop Rotation with Marigold Promotes Soil Bacterial Structure to Assist in Mitigating Clubroot Incidence in Chinese Cabbage.

Clubroot caused by is an economically important soilborne disease of Chinese cabbage worldwide. Integrated biological control through crop rotation is considered a good disease management approach to suppress the incidence of soilborne diseases. In this study, we evaluated the effect of a marigold plant (root exudates, crude extract, and powder) on the germination and death of resting spores of in vitro assays.
