Universal stress proteins (USPs) are typical stress-inducible proteins that function directly in a variety of biotic or abiotic stresses and effectively protect plants from complex, adverse environments. However, the expression patterns of USP genes under pathogen stress and their molecular mechanisms in stress resistance have not been reported in detail. In this study, 46 USP genes were identified from (PtrUSPs), and their biological characteristics were comprehensively analyzed based on phylogeny, physicochemical properties of proteins, and gene structures.

The gut bacterial microbiota of insects has been shown to play essential roles in processes related to physiology, metabolism, and innate immunity. In this study, we firstly performed a broad analysis of the gut bacteria in Lymantria dispar asiatica, one of the most devastating forestry defoliators. We analyzed the bacterial composition among different individuals from lab-reared or wild-collected using 16 s rRNA-sequencing, revealing that the gut bacteria of wild-collected larvae were highly diverse, while lab-reared larvae were only associated with a few genera.

Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is the causative agent of pine wilt disease. It has caused devastating damage to ecosystems worldwide, owing to the characteristic of being widely spread and uncontrollable. However, the current methods of control are mainly based on pesticides, which can cause irreversible damage to the ecosystem.

Plants commonly face the threat of invasion by a wide variety of pathogens and have developed sophisticated immune mechanisms to defend against infectious diseases. However, successful pathogens have evolved diverse mechanisms to overcome host immunity and cause diseases. Different cell structures and unique cellular organelles carried by plant cells endow plant-specific defense mechanisms, in addition to the common framework of innate immune system shared by both plants and animals.

To study the effect of Huangzhi oral liquid (HZOL) on I/R after 2 h and 4 h and determine its regulatory function on caspase-3 and protein networks. 70 SD male rats were randomly divided into seven groups and established myocardial I/R injury model by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. Myocardial infarction model was defined by TTC staining and color of the heart.

The tripeptide title compound, C(32)H(53)N(3)O(6), synthesized in 80% yield by coupling of N-methyl-l-leucine benzyl ester with tert-butoxy-carbonyl-l-leucyl-N-methyl-l-leucine at 273 K, conjugates through two amide linkages and includes two protecting groups: a tert-butyl-oxycarbonyl group at the C-tip and a benzyl group at the N-tip. A classical inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond and a weak non-conventional inter-molecular C-H⋯O contact connect the mol-ecules, forming layers parallel to (001).
