Transcriptomic Analysis of Three Differentially Senescing Maize ( L.) Inbred Lines upon Heat Stress.

Maize, one of the world's major food crops, is facing the challenge of rising temperature. Leaf senescence is the most significant phenotypic change of maize under heat stress at the seedling stage, but the underlying molecular mechanism is still unknown. Here, we screened for three inbred lines (PH4CV, B73, and SH19B) that showed differentially senescing phenotypes under heat stress.

Transcriptomic analysis of Stropharia rugosoannulata reveals carbohydrate metabolism and cold resistance mechanisms under low-temperature stress.

Low temperature is an important environmental factor that restricts the growth of Stropharia rugosoannulata; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying S. rugosoannulata responses to low-temperature stress are largely unknown. In this study, we performed a transcriptome analysis of a high-sensitivity strain (DQ-1) and low-sensitivity strain (DQ-3) under low-temperature stress.

Genetic and functional analysis of the Zn(II)Cys transcription factor HADA-1 in Hypsizygus marmoreus.

Zn(II)Cys transcription factors are critical for the reproductive growth and sexual development of fungi, but their roles in Basidiomycota remain unclear. In this study, the Hypsizygus marmoreus gene hada-1 was shown to encode a Zn(II)Cys transcription factor, the growth rate of mycelia was decreased, hyphae were angulated, and fruiting body development was hindered in the hada-1-silenced strains. In addition, mitochondrial stability was lost, and the mitochondria morphologies changed from oval shaped to dumbbell or linear shaped in the silenced strains.

The functions of glutathione peroxidase in ROS homeostasis and fruiting body development in Hypsizygus marmoreus.

Glutathione peroxidase (GPX) is one of the most important antioxidant enzymes for maintaining reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis. Although studies on fungi have suggested many important physiological functions of GPX, few studies have examined the role of this enzyme in Basidiomycetes, particularly its functions in fruiting body developmental processes. In the present study, GPX-silenced (GPxi) strains were obtained by using RNA interference.

Association of Dietary Micronutrient Intake with Pulmonary Tuberculosis Treatment Failure Rate: ACohort Study.

Malnutrition is associated with an increased risk of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) treatment failure. Currently, there is no effective adjunctive nutritional therapy. The current objective is to investigate the association of dietary micronutrient intake with PTB treatment outcome.

Exogenous l-ascorbic acid regulates the antioxidant system to increase the regeneration of damaged mycelia and induce the development of fruiting bodies in Hypsizygus marmoreus.

Hypsizygus marmoreus is an important commercial edible fungus, but the lack of basic studies on this fungus has hindered further development of its commercial value. In this study, we found that the treatment of damaged vegetative mycelia with 1 mM l-ascorbic acid (ASA) significantly increased the antioxidant enzyme activities (GPX, GR, CAT and SOD) and antioxidant contents (GSH and ASA) and reduced the ROS levels (HO and O) in mechanically damaged mycelia. Additionally, this treatment increased mycelial biomass.

Correction: Efficacy of proprietary Lactobacillus casei for anti-tuberculosis associated gastrointestinal adverse reactions in adult patients: a randomized, open-label, dose-response trial.

Correction for 'Efficacy of proprietary Lactobacillus casei for anti-tuberculosis associated gastrointestinal adverse reactions in adult patients: a randomized, open-label, dose-response trial' by Song Lin et al., Food Funct., 2020, 11, 370-377.

Efficacy of proprietary Lactobacillus casei for anti-tuberculosis associated gastrointestinal adverse reactions in adult patients: a randomized, open-label, dose-response trial.

Anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs can induce a series of gastrointestinal adverse events, which can seriously affect patients' quality of life and may lead to treatment failure. Studies have shown that probiotics treatments can improve antibiotic-induced gastrointestinal symptoms. In this randomized, open-label, dose-response clinical trial, we investigated the preventive effects of Lactobacillus casei on anti-TB-induced gastrointestinal adverse events.

Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals potential fruiting body formation mechanisms in Morchella importuna.

Morchella importuna has been artificially cultivated, but stable production remains difficult because its mechanisms of fruiting body formation are unclear. To investigate the fruiting body formation mechanisms, we sequenced the transcriptomes of Morchella importuna at the mycelial and young fruiting body stages. Among the 12,561 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 9215 were upregulated, and 3346 were downregulated.

In the present study, we aimed to assess the effect of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on the physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant capacity of Hypsizygus marmoreus during 12 days of postharvest storage at 4 °C. Different concentrations of HRW (25, 50 and 100%) were tested, and our data showed that 25% HRW treatment had the most significant effect on preservation of nutrients in H. marmoreus compared with the control group.

Kojic acid-mediated damage responses induce mycelial regeneration in the basidiomycete Hypsizygus marmoreus.

Mechanical damage can induce fruiting body production in fungi. In this study, the antioxidant kojic acid (KA) was found to enhance injured mycelial regeneration and increase fruiting body production in Hypsizygus marmoreus. KA reduced the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are harmful to mycelia when excessively generated by mechanical damage.

Hydrogen-rich water alleviates the toxicities of different stresses to mycelial growth in Hypsizygus marmoreus.

In plants, hydrogen gas (H) enhances tolerance to several abiotic stresses, including salinity and heavy metals.
