Anthocyanin is a type of plant secondary metabolite beneficial to human health. The anthocyanin content of vegetable and fruit crops signifies their nutritional quality. However, the molecular mechanism of anthocyanin accumulation, especially tissue-specific accumulation, in Caitai, as well as in other Brassica rapa varieties, remains elusive.

However, the early SA signaling events remain elusive in most plant species apart from Arabidopsis, and even less is known about the multi-facet mechanism underlying SA-regulated processes. Here, we report the identification of a novel regulatory module in cucumber, CsNPR1-CsWRKY11, which mediates the regulation of SA-promoted leaf senescence and ROS burst.

It is not well known how microbial diversity and community composition change during infecting plant roots. Here, we employed a resistant and a susceptible pakchoi cultivar with and without inoculation with to analyze bacterial and fungal diversity using 16S rRNA V3-V4 and ITS_V1 regions, respectively.

Infection of often leads to yellow spots on leaves, which significantly impacts quality and yield of pakchoi. In the present study, we conducted a comparative transcriptome between the resistant and susceptible pakchoi cultivars in response to infection.

Here, we report a spontaneous mutant of pakchoi, , and identified its characteristics. We found that it has an elongated hypocotyl phenotype compared to the wild type caused by the longitudinal growth of hypocotyl cells.

The postsurgical activity aims to conduct focused and planned interventions to address the early postoperative activities of patients, enhance the awareness and compliance of the patients through the early postsurgical activities. Currently, in traditional clinical practice, there is no clear evidence showing the effect of initial postsurgical actions related to the rehabilitation of inpatients undertaking abdominal operations.

Design: A cross-sectional survey design was used for this work.
Methods: We distributed a workplace violence questionnaire among medical staff at primary hospitals in Southeast Zhejiang Province, China.
Clubroot is one of the most serious diseases affecting Brassicaceae plants worldwide. However, there is no effective control method for clubroot. Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant hormone that plays a critical role in plant defense.

Based on the relevant prevention and control plans and technical guidelines for COVID-19,Delphi method was used to identity items for evaluation,and a quality control checklist for the prevention and control of COVID-19 in the fever clinic and isolation ward was developed in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital. The checklists included 8 dimensions and 32 items for fever clinic,7 dimensions and 27 items for the isolation ward.

Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) is a key transcriptional regulator of cellular proliferation whose overexpression is observed in osteosarcoma cell lines (U2OS, 143B, MG63 and SAOS2). ML264, a small-molecule inhibitor of KLF5, exerts antiproliferative effects in colorectal cancer; however, its function in osteosarcoma remains unknown.

However, the molecular mechanism of the Brassica rapa response remains has not been determined. Long noncoding RNA and mRNA expression profiles in response to Plasmodiophora brassicae infection were investigated using RNA-seq on the Chinese cabbage inbred line C22 infected with P.

In recent years, progression of clubroot is rapid and serious in Shanghai, China. In this study, The inheritance of clubroot resistance (CR) were determined in pakchoi using F segregation population that were developed by crossing highly resistant line 'CR38' and susceptible line 'CS22'.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAnthocyanins are secondary metabolites that contribute to red, blue, and purple colors in plants and are affected by light, but the effects of low light on the physiological responses of purple pak-choi plant leaves are still unclear. In this study, purple pak-choi seedlings were exposed to low light by shading with white gauze and black shading in a phytotron. The responses in terms of photosynthetic properties, carbohydrate metabolism, antioxidant enzyme activity, anthocyanin biosynthetic enzyme activity, and the relative chlorophyll and anthocyanin content of leaves were measured.
