Novel 131-iodine labeled and ultrasound-responsive nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species controlled released nanoplatform for synergistic sonodynamic/nitric oxide/chemodynamic/radionuclide therapy.

Nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) embody excellent potential in cancer therapy. However, as a small molecule, their targeted delivery and precise, controllable release are urgently needed to achieve accurate cancer therapy. In this paper, a novel US-responsive bifunctional molecule (SD) and hyaluronic acid-modified MnO nanocarrier was developed, and a US-responsive NO and ROS controlled released nanoplatform was constructed.

Plants attacked above-ground by leaf-mining flies change below-ground microbiota to enhance plant defense.

Root-associated microbiomes play a crucial role in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Plants can enrich beneficial microbes to increase their stress-relieving ability. Above-ground insect herbivory is among the most detrimental stresses for plants, especially to crop production.

Directly Causes the Black-Heads and Black-Tail Symptoms of Cowpea along with the Production of Insect-Resistance Flavonoids.

The thrip () damages the flowers and pods of the cowpea, causing "black-heads and black-tails" (BHBT) symptoms and negatively affecting its economic value. However, the mechanism by which BHBT symptoms develop is still unknown. Our results showed that the microstructure of the pod epidermis was altered and the content of the plant's resistance-related compounds increased after a thrip infestation.

Formation of 8-hydroxylinalool in tea plant var. 'Hainan dayezhong'.

Linalool and its derivatives contribute greatly to tea aroma. Here, 8-hydroxylinalool was found to be one of the major linalool-derived aroma compounds in var. 'Hainan dayezhong', a tea plant grown in Hainan Province, China.

First report of causing spring dead spot of hybrid bermudagrass in China.

Hybrid bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon×C. transvaalensis) is widely used as turf in transition zone of China. Spring dead spot (SDS) is one of the most damaging diseases of hybrid bermudagrass.

Resistance risk assessment for fludioxonil in Sclerotinia homoeocarpa in China.

Sclerotinia homoeocarpa causes dollar spot disease on turfgrass and is a serious problem on many species worldwide. Fludioxonil, a phenylpyrrole fungicide, is not currently registered for dollar spot control in China. In this study, the baseline sensitivity to fludioxonil was established using an in vitro assay for 105 isolates of S.
