Improving the efficiency of germplasm innovation has always been the aim of rice breeders. Traditional hybrid breeding methods for variety selection rarely meet the practical needs of rice production. The emergence of genome-editing technologies, such as CRISPR/Cas9, provides a new approach to the genetic improvement of crops such as rice.

However, due to the lack of relevant evidence, current research is unable to provide reliable medical advice for COVID-19 boost in healthy adults. We conducted a retrospective observational study to evaluate the effectiveness of different COVID-19 vaccination regimens by investigating the SARS-CoV-2 infection status of healthy donors in Southeast China.

Aneuploidy is generally harmful to the growth, development and reproduction of organisms according to the numerous research. However, it has rarely been reported on whether aneuploid have a relevant pattern of genome expression between the parental and its offspring generations.

Increasing evidence indicates that histone acetylation is involved in plant responses to various abiotic stress; however, the underlying epigenetic regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we revealed that the histone deacetylase OsHDA706 epigenetically regulates the expression of salt stress response genes in rice (Oryza sativa L.

- The study evaluated the antibody response duration and effectiveness of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines among healthy blood donors, analyzing samples from 1,417 participants who received either 2 or 3 doses.
- Results showed that neutralizing antibodies peaked around one month post-vaccination but declined significantly over time, with notable drops in effectiveness against Omicron variants compared to earlier strains.
- The findings indicate that while a 3-dose regimen extends antibody duration, the ability of the antibodies to neutralize circulating Omicron variants is markedly reduced.
