Bacteria Derived from Diamondback Moth, (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), Gut Regurgitant Negatively Regulate Glucose Oxidase-Mediated Anti-Defense Against Host Plant.

The ongoing interplay among plants, insects, and bacteria underscores the intricate balance of defense mechanisms in ecosystems. Regurgitant bacteria directly/indirectly impact plant immune responses, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here, we focus on the interaction between regurgitant bacteria, diamondback moth (DBM), and plant.

Local corner smoothing based on deep learning for CNC machine tools.

Most of toolpaths for machining is composed of series of short linear segments (G01 command), which limits the feedrate and machining quality. To generate a smooth machining path, a new optimization strategy is proposed to optimize the toolpath at the curvature level. First, the three essential components of optimization are introduced, and the local corner smoothness is converted into an optimization problem.

Designing Nanoporous Polymer Films for High-Performance Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling.

Energy-free passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) technology makes it an attractive solution to both the building energy crisis and global warming. Spectrally selective porous polymers have great potential for practical PDRC applications owing to their cooling performance and scalability. A fundamental understanding of the relationship between the cooling performance and pore properties is crucial for guiding future structural designs of high-performance PDRC materials.

Functional Characterization of Two RNA Methyltransferase Genes and Uncovers the Roles of mA in Mediating Adaptation of to Host Plants.

-methyladenosine (mA) is one of the major epigenetic modifications in eukaryotes. Although increasing functions of mA have been identified in insects, its role in L. for host plant adaptation remains unclear.

Leptin upregulates COX-2 and its downstream products in aortic endothelial cells.

The adipocyte-derived hormone leptin is associated with hypertension. The involvement of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and its downstream vasomotor products prostaglandin (PG) and thromboxane (TX)A in the mechanisms of action of leptin have remained elusive. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of leptin on the expression of COX-2 by rat aortic endothelial cells (RAECs) and the concentration of its products, represented by 6-keto PGF and TXB, in the culture media.
