Comparative Metabolome and Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Defense Mechanism of Chinese Cabbage ( L. ssp. ) against Infection.

Chinese cabbage ( L. ssp. ) ranks among the most cultivated and consumed vegetables in China.

Pb induces ferroptosis in choroid plexus epithelial cells via Fe metabolism.

Pb can enhance blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB) permeability and accumulate in brain tissue, leading to central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction. Choroid plexus (CP) epithelial cells are the main components of the BCSFB with crucial functions in BCSFB maintenance. However, the mechanism by which Pb exposure affects CP epithelial cells remains unclear.

A Comparative Transcriptome and Metabolome Combined Analysis Reveals the Key Genes and Their Regulatory Model Responsible for Glucoraphasatin Accumulation in Radish Fleshy Taproots.

Radish ( L.) is rich in specific glucosinolates (GSLs), which benefit human health and special flavor formation. Although the basic GSLs metabolic pathway in Brassicaceae plants is clear, the regulating mechanism for specific glucosinolates content in radish fleshy taproots is not well understood.

Multispectral photoacoustic holography of elastomers from a bright background.

Photoacoustic imaging of elastomers has important biomedical value. However, a bright background, e.g.

Genome-wide identification, characterization, and evolutionary analysis of flowering genes in radish (Raphanus sativus L.).

Background: Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) belongs to the family Brassicaceae, and is an economically important root crop grown worldwide. Flowering is necessary for plant propagation, but it is also an important agronomic trait influencing R.

Identification of Optimal Reference Genes for Expression Analysis in Radish ( L.) and Its Relatives Based on Expression Stability.

Radish () is an important cruciferous root crop with a close relationship to Chinese cabbage (). RT-qPCR is used extensively to evaluate the expression levels of target genes, and accurate measurement of target gene expression with this method is determined by the valid reference genes used for data nomalization in different experimental conditions. Screening for appropriate reference genes with stable expression based on RT-qPCR data is important for gene expression and functional analysis research in radish and its relatives.

Aromatic Glucosinolate Biosynthesis Pathway in Barbarea vulgaris and its Response to Plutella xylostella Infestation.

The inducibility of the glucosinolate resistance mechanism is an energy-saving strategy for plants, but whether induction would still be triggered by glucosinolate-tolerant Plutella xylostella (diamondback moth, DBM) after a plant had evolved a new resistance mechanism (e.g., saponins in Barbara vulgaris) was unknown.
