is the primary causative agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB), a devastating disease affecting cereals globally. The high-mobility group (HMG) of non-histone proteins constitutes vital architectural elements within chromatin, playing diverse roles in various biological processes in eukaryotic cells. Nonetheless, the specific functions of HMG proteins in have yet to be elucidated.

This article reports a case of RDD in the left temporal bone. The radiological presentation of intraosseous RDD includes osteolytic bone destruction, infrequent periosteal reaction, clearly defined tumor margins, and marked uniform enhancement on contrast-enhanced scans.

The effect of fungicides on DON production after stressing wheat to produce HO and the effect of nontarget pesticides on DON accumulation are largely unknown. Five pesticides were selected to explore the effect of pesticide-induced oxidative stress on DON production in vitro and in vivo.

The design of the present portable fiber Raman probes leads to an interferential background that limits the application of the portable Raman technique in many situations. In this work, the spectral backgrounds of commercial probes with different optical configurations were analyzed, and the results indicated the backgrounds arose from the objective lenses and the dichroic filters.
