The RALF2-FERONIA-MYB63 module orchestrates growth and defense in tomato roots.

Plant secreted peptides RAPID ALKALINISATION FACTORs (RALFs), which act through the receptor FERONIA (FER), play important roles in plant growth. However, it remains unclear whether and how RALF-FER contributes to the trade-off of plant growth-defense. Here, we used a variety of techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9, protein-protein interaction and transcriptional regulation methods to investigate the role of RALF2 and its receptor FER in regulating lignin deposition, root growth, and defense against Fusarium oxysporum f.

Large Amount of Epidural Effusion Outside the Dura After Percutaneous Puncture and Suction Treatment.

Epidural fluid collection is commonly seen as a low-density accumulation beneath the dura on postoperative computed tomography scans. It is discussed less in the literature because, in most cases, the fluid amount is small, self-absorbing, and typically does not cause neurological deficits, so intervention is usually unnecessary. However, when a significant amount of fluid accumulates, patients may experience symptoms such as altered consciousness and even coma.

Epidemiological investigation of canine coronavirus infection in Chinese domestic dogs: A systematic review and data synthesis.

Canine enteric coronavirus (CCoV) is a pathogenic virus that infects dogs worldwide, causing enteric issues and causing harm to the dog industry and dogs. Although CCoV is not recognized as a highly lethal canine intestinal pathogen, it has been reported that CCoV is significantly associated with canine diarrhea in dogs. CCoV is a common health problem in dogs, attracting major concern from veterinarians and dog owners across China.

Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of CC-NBS-LRR Family in Response to Downy Mildew and Black Rot in Chinese Cabbage.

The nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) gene family is the largest group of plant disease resistance (R) genes widespread in response to viruses, bacteria, and fungi usually involved in effector triggered immunity (ETI). Forty members of the Chinese cabbage CC type NBS-LRR family were investigated in this study. Gene and protein characteristics, such as distributed locations on chromosomes and gene structures, were explored through comprehensive analysis.

A systematic literature review and meta-analysis of characterization of canine parvoviruses 2 prevalent in mainland China.

Background: Canine parvovirus 2 (CPV-2) is a pathogenic virus that infects dogs, causing a highly infectious disease. Monitoring CPV-2 spread is an important part of prevention; however, the prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of CPV-2 have not been systematically evaluated and analyzed in mainland China. Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to assess prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of CPV-2 in domestic dogs in mainland China.

Sex-dependent association of phosphodiesterase 4D gene polymorphisms with ischemic stroke in Henan Han population.

Background: Recent evidence has implicated the gene for phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D) as susceptibility gene for ischemic stroke (IS) in Icelandic population. However, there are few reports on the associations between PDE4D gene polymorphisms and IS in Chinese individuals. The present study aimed to investigate the possible association of genetic polymorphisms in PDE4D gene with IS in Henan Han population.
