A single amino acid substitution in the AAA-type ATPase LRD6-6 activates immune responses but decreases grain quality in rice.

Plant () mutants are useful to reveal the regulatory mechanisms of immune responses. Thus, in crop plants, their agronomic traits, especially the grain quality are usually ignored. Here, we characterized a rice mutant named () that shows autoimmunity, broad-spectrum disease resistance and growth deterioration including decreased rice quality.

lncRNA‑MALAT1 promotes high glucose‑induced H9C2 cardiomyocyte pyroptosis by downregulating miR‑141‑3p expression.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is caused by diabetes and can result in heart failure. Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to be closely associated with DCM development. The present study aimed to investigate whether lncRNA‑metastasis‑associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript‑1 (MALAT1) altered high glucose (HG)‑induced H9C2 cardiomyocyte pyroptosis by targeting microRNA (miR)‑141‑3p.
