The complete genome sequence of the chloroplast of .

(Asteraceae), a native of tropical America is now widespread in Asia and the Americas. We explored the chloroplast genome and conducted a phylogenetic analysis. The chloroplast genome was circular, consisting of a large single copy (LSC) of 83,909 base pairs (bp), a small single copy (SSC) of 18,407 bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IR) of 24,729 bp each.

Driving factors and clustering analysis of expressway vehicular CO emissions in Guizhou Province, China.

Expressways are essential for intercounty trips of passenger travel and freight mobility, which are also an important source of vehicular CO emissions in transportation sector. This study takes the expressway system of Guizhou Province as the research objective, and establishes the multi-year expressway vehicular CO emission inventories at the county level from 2011 to 2019. We employ the extended STIRPAT model incorporating ridge regression to identify driving factors from six different aspects, and then utilize the affinity propagation cluster method to conduct the differentiation research by dividing Guizhou's counties into four clusters.

Physiological response of to chrysanthemum white rust based on TRV-VIGS.

Chrysanthemum White Rust (CWR) caused by Henn. is a major disease in the production process of chrysanthemum, which is widely spread all over the world and can be called "cancer" of chrysanthemum. To clarify the disease resistance function of disease resistance genes can provide a theoretical basis for the utilization and genetic improvement of chrysanthemum resistant varieties.

Impact of soluble organic matter and particulate organic matter on anammox system: Performance, microbial community and NO production.

In this study, the effects of soluble readily biodegradable COD (sCOD) and particulate slowly biodegradable COD (pCOD) on anammox process were investigated. The results of the long-term experiment indicated that a low sCOD/N ratio of 0.5 could accelerate the anammox and denitrification activity, to reach as high as 84.

CmWRKY15-1 Promotes Resistance to Chrysanthemum White Rust by Regulating Expression.

Chrysanthemum white rust (CWR), a disease caused by the fungus Henn., seriously impairs the production and ornamental value of chrysanthemums. We previously isolated the disease-resistance gene from the chrysanthemum and generated transgenic plants.

Investigation of High-Temperature Normal Infrared Spectral Emissivity of ZrO Thermal Barrier Coating Artefacts by the Modified Integrated Blackbody Method.

Zirconium oxide (ZrO) is widely used as the thermal barrier coating in turbines and engines. Accurate emissivity measurement of ZrO coating at high temperatures, especially above 1000 °C, plays a vital role in thermal modelling and radiation thermometry. However, it is an extremely challenging enterprise, and very few high temperature emissivity results with rigorously estimated uncertainties have been published to date.

Chrysanthemum WRKY15-1 promotes resistance to Puccinia horiana Henn. via the salicylic acid signaling pathway.

Chrysanthemum white rust disease, which is caused by the fungus Puccinia horiana Henn., severely reduces the ornamental quality and yield chrysanthemum. WRKY transcription factors function in the disease-resistance response in a variety of plants; however, it is unclear whether members of this family improve resistance to white rust disease in chrysanthemum.

Exosomal miR-320d derived from adipose tissue-derived MSCs inhibits apoptosis in cardiomyocytes with atrial fibrillation (AF).

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a key role in various pathological processes like atrial fibrillation (AF), which is a common cardiac arrhythmia. Exosomes are essential information carrier in the intercellular communication. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of exosomal miR-320d on cardiomyocytes with AF and related mechanisms.
