Unlabelled: Flag leaf senescence is a critical factor affecting the yield and quality of wheat. The aim of this study was to identify QTLs associated with flag leaf senescence in an F recombinant inbred line population derived from durum wheats UC1113 and Kofa. Bulked segregant analysis using the wheat 660K SNP array identified 3225 SNPs between extreme-phenotype bulks, and the differential SNPs were mainly clustered on chromosomes 1A, 1B, 3B, 5A, 5B, and 7A.

Here, we investigated adult-plant resistance (APR) to leaf rust in a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from 'Xinmai 26' and 'Zhoumai 22' over 3 years. Linkage mapping for APR to leaf rust revealed four quantitative trait loci (QTL) in this RIL population.

Sepsis is one of the main causes of death in critically ill patients. The intestinal tract is not only the organ easily involved in sepsis, but also the initial organ in the progression of sepsis, so the improvement of intestinal barrier function is the key of the treatment of sepsis. In recent years, it has been found that autophagy is involved in the pathological process of sepsis, maintaining mitochondrial function by clearing damaged organelles, inhibiting inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis, regulating immunity, maintaining intestinal homeostasis, and improving the condition and prognosis of sepsis.

Sepsis is an organ dysfunction that endangers a patient's life caused by an imbalanced infection response, and is a clinically critical illness. Despite a deep understanding of the pathogenesis of sepsis, there has been no significant improvement in sepsis mortality during clinical treatment at home and abroad. In recent years, the role of autophagy in the pathogenesis of sepsis has become a new research point in the field of medical research.
