The OsEBF1-OsEIL5-OsPP91 module regulates rice heat tolerance via ubiquitination and transcriptional activation.

Understanding the regulatory mechanisms underlying the plant heat stress response is important for developing climate-resilient crops, including rice (Oryza sativa). Here, we report that OsEIL5, one member of the ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE3-LIKE family, positively regulates rice heat tolerance at the seedling and reproductive stages. OsEIL5 directly binds to the promoter of OsPP91 (encoding one type 2C protein phosphatase) and activates its expression.

Preparation and structural analysis of fucomannogalactan and β-1,6-glucan from mycelium.

Polysaccharides, key components present in , can be divided into those derived from fruiting bodies, mycelium, and fermentation broth based on their source. The structure of fruiting body-derived polysaccharides has been fully characterized. However, the structure of mycelium-derived polysaccharides remains to be elucidated.

Wind turbine wake visualization and characteristics analysis by Doppler lidar.

Wind power generation is growing fast as one of the most promising renewable energy sources that can serve as an alternative to fossil fuel-generated electricity. When the wind turbine generator (WTG) extracts power from the wind, the wake evolves and leads to a considerable reduction in the efficiency of the actual power generation. Furthermore, the wake effect can lead to the increase of turbulence induced fatigue loads that reduce the life time of WTGs.

Relationship between onset of peptic ulcer and meteorological factors.

Aim: To discuss the relationship between onset of peptic ulcer (PU) and meteorological factors (MFs).

Methods: A total of 24,252 patients were found with active PU in 104,121 samples of gastroscopic examination from 17 hospitals in Nanning from 1992 to 1997. The detectable rate of PU (DRPU) was calculated every month, every ten days and every five days.
