ZMK1 Is Involved in K Uptake and Regulated by Protein Kinase ZmCIPK23 in .

Potassium (K) is one of essential mineral elements for plant growth and development. K channels, especially AKT1-like channels, play crucial roles in K uptake in plant roots. Maize is one of important crops; however, the K uptake mechanism in maize is little known.

The involvement of the mGluR5-mediated JNK signaling pathway in rats with diabetic retinopathy.

Objective: To understand the involvement of the mGluR5-mediated JNK signaling pathway in rats with diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Methods: This study established rat models of diabetes mellitus (DM), which were divided into Normal, DM, DM + CHPG (mGluR5 agonist CHPG), and DM + MTEP (mGluR5 antagonist MTEP) groups. The blood glucose and weight of rats were recorded.
