Mapping the evolving trend of research on leukocyte telomere length: a text-mining study.

Background: Substantial evidence indicates that measuring leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is a useful tool that may be considered as a valuable biomarker of individual biological age, correlating with numerous chronic disorders. However, to date, there has been a lack of in-depth understanding regarding the current landscape and forthcoming developments in the LTL field. Therefore, this study aimed to utilize bibliometric methods to summarize the knowledge structure, current focus, and emerging directions in this field.

Metabolome analysis of key genes for synthesis and accumulation of triterpenoids in Wolfiporia cocos.

Triterpenoid, the active ingredient in the dried sclerotia of Wolfiporia cocos, has a variety of pharmacological effects. The focus of this research was the cell engineered bacteria modified for triterpenoid biosynthesis, and we aimed to identify the key genes involved in triterpenoid biosynthesis and their roles. Two monospora strains, H and L, were selected from the sexually propagated progeny of W.

Analysis of weighted gene co-expression network of triterpenoid-related transcriptome characteristics from different strains of Wolfiporia cocos.

The fungus Wolfiporia cocos has wide-ranging and important medicinal value, and its dried sclerotia are used as a traditional Chinese medicine. Modern studies have shown that triterpenoid, the active ingredient of W. cocos, have a variety of pharmacological effects.

Comparative Analysis of the Characteristics of Triterpenoid Transcriptome from Different Strains of .

The dried sclerotia of (Schwein.) Ryvarden & Gilb., a traditional Chinese medicine, has triterpenoid as its main active component.

Increasing lysine content of waxy maize through introgression of opaque-2 and opaque-16 genes using molecular assisted and biochemical development.

The low lysine content of waxy maize cannot meet the nutritional requirements of humans, livestock, or poultry. In the present study, the high-lysine genes o2 and o16 were backcrossed into wx lines using the maize high-lysine inbreds TAIXI19 (o2o2) and QCL3021 (o16o16) as donors and the waxy maize inbred line QCL5019 (wxwx) as a receptor. In the triple-cross F1, backcross, and inbred generations, the SSR markers phi027 and phi112 within the wx and o2 genes and the SSR marker umc1121 linked to the o16 gene were used for foreground selection.

[Comparison of rDNA internal transcribed spacer sequences in asparagus].

Objective: Using ITS sequence of nine species to identify counterfeiting medicine and analyse phylogenetic of Asparagus.

Methods: Analysing ITS sequences by amplification, cloning,sequencing and alignment.

Results: The length range of ITS sequence of nine species was from 711 to 748 bp, the percentage of G + C content was about 60%.

Molecular rotational excitation by strong femtosecond laser pulses.

We study the rotational wave packet created by nonadiabatic rotational excitation of molecules with strong femtosecond laser pulses. The applicable condition of the Delta-Kick method is obtained by comparing the laser intensity and pulse duration dependences of the wave packet calculated with different methods. The wave packet evolution is traced analytically with the Delta-Kick method.

Controlling molecular rotational population by wave-packet interference.

We propose a control scheme for selecting populations of molecular rotational states by wave-packet interference. A series of coherent rotational wave packets is created by nonadiabatic rotational excitation of molecules using two strong femtosecond laser pulses. By adjusting the time delay between the two laser pulses, constructive or destructive interference among these wave packets enables the population to be enhanced or suppressed for a specific rotational state.
