Redox Regulation of Salt Tolerance in by Proteomics.

Salt stress severely restricts plant growth and crop production, which is accompanied by accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that disturb cell redox homeostasis and oxidize redox-sensitive proteins. , a halophytic species closely related to , shows a high level of tolerance to salinity and is increasingly used as a model plant in abiotic stress biology. To understand redox modifications and signaling pathways under salt stress, we used tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomics to quantify the salt-induced changes in protein redox modifications in .

In situ ground settlement sensor for oil-tank monitoring by combining a fiber-optic low-coherent interferometry with a fine mechanical design.

An in situ robust ground settlement (IR-GS) sensor was designed to meet the requirements for oil-tank health monitoring by combining a low-coherent fiber-optic interferometry with a fine mechanical spline shaft. A floating mirror was mounted on the shaft and moved up and down along with the liquid surface. The liquid-contained chambers were hydraulically connected at the bottom by using a liquid-filled tube.

[Study on genetic polymorphism of Platycodon grandiflorum based on barcoding of ITS2].

Objective: ITS2 of DNA barcoding was used to study genetic polymorphism of Platycodon grandiflorum.

Method: Total genomic DNA was isolated from P. grandiflorum.

Integration of transcriptome, proteome and metabolism data reveals the alkaloids biosynthesis in Macleaya cordata and Macleaya microcarpa.

Background: The Macleaya spp., including Macleaya cordata and Macleaya microcarpa, are traditional anti-virus, inflammation eliminating, and insecticide herb medicines for their isoquinoline alkaloids. They are also known as the basis of the popular natural animal food addictive in Europe.
