Evaluation of wheat drought resistance using hyperspectral and chlorophyll fluorescence imaging.

Photosynthesis drives crop growth and production, and strongly affects grain yields; therefore, it is an ideal trait for wheat drought resistance breeding. However, studies of the negative effects of drought stress on wheat photosynthesis rates have lacked accurate evaluation methods, as well as high-throughput techniques. We investigated photosynthetic capacity under drought stress in wheat varieties with varying degrees of drought stress resistance using hyperspectral and chlorophyll fluorescence (ChlF) imaging data.

A real-world pharmacovigilance study of FDA Adverse Event Reporting System events for pralsetinib.

Background: Pralsetinib, a selective oral inhibitor of rearranged during transfection (RET) fusion proteins and oncogenic RET mutants, has shown significant efficacy in treating RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer and thyroid cancer.

The results of agronomic traits and paraffin sections showed that the shoot growth rate increased, but root growth was inhibited after mowing.

Large-scale identification of novel transcriptional regulators of the aliphatic glucosinolate pathway in Arabidopsis.

Aliphatic glucosinolates are a large group of plant secondary metabolites characteristic of Brassicaceae, including the model plant Arabidopsis. The diverse and complex degradation products of aliphatic glucosinolates contribute to plant responses to herbivory, pathogen attack, and environmental stresses. Most of the biosynthesis genes in the aliphatic glucosinolate pathway have been cloned in Arabidopsis, and the research focus has recently shifted to the regulatory mechanisms controlling aliphatic glucosinolate accumulation.
