Article Synopsis
- Researchers identified 34 isoprenylated plant proteins (SlHIPP genes) from the tomato genome, which are believed to help with stress tolerance in plants.
- Phylogenetic analysis showed that these genes are evolutionarily stable, and analysis of gene expression suggested 6 candidate genes are crucial for tomato's response to osmotic, salt, and cadmium stress.
- The study found that these candidate genes also play a role in mediating various phytohormones, indicating they are essential regulators in helping tomato plants manage abiotic stress.
Article Synopsis
- Zhen-wu-tang (ZWT) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula used for kidney diseases, but there's limited understanding of its chemical makeup and metabolic pathways.
- The study employed high-resolution liquid chromatography to identify 110 chemical components in ZWT, including amino acids and alkaloids, as well as 24 prototype components and 36 metabolites in rat plasma.
- Key findings show that certain bioactive components were found in both rat plasma and kidney tissue, with metabolic processes primarily involving various biochemical reactions, laying the groundwork for future research on ZWT's pharmacological effects.
Background: Macrophages M1 polarization involved in the process of renal inflammatory injury, is a well-established hallmark of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Paeoniflorin (PF), a water-soluble monoterpene glycoside extracted from Paeonia lactiflora, revealed renal anti-inflammatory activities in our previous study. However, the potential molecular mechanism of PF on CKD remains unknown.
