WRKY transcription factor genes in wild rice Oryza nivara.

The WRKY transcription factor family is one of the largest gene families involved in plant development and stress response. Although many WRKY genes have been studied in cultivated rice (Oryza sativa), the WRKY genes in the wild rice species Oryza nivara, the direct progenitor of O. sativa, have not been studied.

An intensive understanding of vacuum infiltration transformation of pakchoi (Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis).

Pakchoi (Brassica rapa L. ssp. chinensis), a kind of Chinese cabbage, is an important vegetable in Asian countries.

[Study on the body mass index and waist circumference of aged with clustering of other cardiovascular risk factors].

Objective: To explore the relation of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) of the aged with clustering of other cardiovascular risk factors.

Methods: Total 654 old people were checked up, and the systolic blood press (SBP), diastolic blood press (DBP), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) of them were investigated according to different BMI and WC, then the other cardiovascular risk factors analysis was carried out on the detection rates of SBP, DBP, TC, HDL-C, FPG level and high blood pressure, high TC, high TG. The clustering of the other cardiovascular risk factors was analyzed.

[The distribution and viability changes of the Agrobacteria in the vacuum infiltrated plants of Chinese cabbage].

To understand further the mechanism of agrobacteria transformation by vacuum infiltration, the distribution and viability changes of the agrobacteria in infiltrated Chinese cabbage( B. rapa ssp. chinesis) plants were investigated by histochemical staining and bacteria plating techniques.
