Distribution, characterization, and evolution of heavy metal resistance genes and Tn7-like associated heavy metal resistance Gene Island of .

Introduction: is a rod-shaped aerobic Gram-negative bacteria with considerable genetic and metabolic diversity, which can beused for bioremediation and production applications, and has great biotechnology potential. However, there are few studies on the heavy metal resistance of the genus.

Methods: In this paper, the distribution, characteristics and evolution of heavy metal resistance genes in and the gene island of Tn7-like transposable element associated with heavy metal resistance genes in were studied by comparative genomic method based on the characteristics of heavy metal resistance.

Phytochemical composition, isolation and hepatoprotective activity of active fraction from Veronica ciliata against acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury via p62-Keap1-Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Veronica ciliata Fisch, a traditional Tibetan medicine, used to cure hepatitis and existed in lots of Tibetan medicine prescriptions owing to its hepatoprotective activity.

Aims Of This Study: In this study, we are aimed to systematically analysis and isolate the chemical constituents of the ethyl acetate fraction from V. ciliata (EAFVC), and test the hepatoprotective effect and mechanism of EAFVC and its compounds on attenuating the liver injury induced by acetaminophen (APAP) in vivo and vitro.

Response of alternative splice isoforms of OsRad9 gene from Oryza sativa to environmental stress.

Rad9 protein plays an important role in cell-cycle checkpoint signal transduction in human and yeast cells, but knowledge about Rad9 in plants is limited. This study reports that the Rad9 gene of rice can generate the transcript products OsRad9.1 and OsRad9.

Liquid Hybridization and Solid Phase Detection: A Highly Sensitive and Accurate Strategy for MicroRNA Detection in Plants and Animals.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in nearly every aspect of biology, including physiological, biochemical, developmental and pathological processes. Therefore, a highly sensitive and accurate method of detection of miRNAs has great potential in research on theory and application, such as the clinical approach to medicine, animal and plant production, as well as stress response. Here, we report a strategic method to detect miRNAs from multicellular organisms, which mainly includes liquid hybridization and solid phase detection (LHSPD); it has been verified in various species and is much more sensitive than traditional biotin-labeled Northern blots.
