Comparative transcriptome reveals lignin biosynthesis being the key molecular pathway regulating oilseed rape growth treated by SiO NPs and biochar.

Biochar and SiO NPs are effective soil conditioners, but the impacts and mechanisms of combined application in oilseed rape are not yet clear. Therefore, an experiment was designed to investigate oilseed rape growth, physiological indexes, and transcriptome sequencing under four treatments: control (CK), Platanus orientalis L. leaf biochar (B), SiO NPs (S), and BS.

Endoscopic Management of Recurrent Maxillary Sinus Ameloblastoma in a Child With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Case Report.

Ameloblastomas are slow-growing, aggressive odontogenic epithelial tumors that originate from the jawbone. One of the most easily relapsing maxillofacial tumors, ameloblastomas mainly occur in the mandibular molar area and ascending branch, although they can occasionally occur in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. A 14-year-old child with autism spectrum disorder underwent sinus computed tomography (CT) under anesthesia.

Adsorption mechanisms for cadmium from aqueous solutions by oxidant-modified biochar derived from Platanus orientalis Linn leaves.

To understand the adsorption mechanisms of Cd by oxidant-modified biochar (OMB) derived from Platanus orientalis Linn (POL) leaves, batch adsorption experiments and characterization were carried out. The results showed that, KMnO-modified biochar (MBC) could more effectively remove Cd from aqueous solution than HO-, HO-, and KCrO-modified biochar (WBC, HBC and PBC, respectively). The highest removal efficiency was 98.

Effects of iron plaque and fatty acids on the transfer of BDE-209 from soil to rice under iron mineral Fenton-like oxidation condition.

To understand the effect mechanisms of iron plaque and fatty acids on the migration of PBDEs from soil to rice (Oryza sativa), pot experiments were conducted in the soil spiked with decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) under the conditions of tourmaline and nano-goethite Fenton-like treatments. The results showed that iron mineral Fenton-like oxidation could effectively remove BDE-209 from rhizosphere soil, the highest removal rate obtained 89.29% with the addition of 0.

HS probe CPC inhibits autophagy and promotes apoptosis by inhibiting glutathionylation of Keap1 at Cys434.

HS is actual an endogenous signaling gas molecule and involved in a range of cell physiological processes. However, the mechanism of endogenous HS regulating autophagy and apoptosis has not been thoroughly investigated. Here, we try to address this issue by using a HS probe, (E)-2-(4-(4-(7-(diethylamino)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbonyl)-piperazin-1-yl)-styryl)-1, 3, 3-trimethyl-3H-indol-1-ium iodide (CPC), which could react with endogenous HS.

Transcriptome analysis of under aluminum stress revealed the potential role of the cell wall in aluminum tolerance.

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is one of the most important limiting factors for crop yield in acidic soils. Bound Al gets converted into a toxic ionic state (Al3+) in acidic soil. Recent studies have shown that Al can act on the cell walls, cell membranes, organelles, and nuclei of microorganisms and affect substance and energy metabolism.

Multi-spectroscopic methods combined with molecular modeling dissect the interaction mechanisms of ractopamine and calf thymus DNA.

The toxic interaction of ractopamine (RAC) with calf thymus DNA (ct DNA) was studied in vitro using multi-spectroscopic methods and molecular modeling methods. The hypochromic effect without a noticeable shift in UV-vis absorption indicated that the minor groove binding mode existed in the interaction between RAC and DNA. The fluorescence quenching of RAC was observed with the increasing addition of DNA and was proved to be the static quenching.

[Effects of soil surface mulching on the growth and physiological characteristics of grafted and non-grafted cucumbers in solar greenhouse].

This paper studied the effects of wheat straw mulching, plastic film mulching, and wheat straw plus plastic film mulching on the growth and physiological characteristics of grafted and non-grafted Cucumis sativus in solar greenhouse. The results showed that compared with the control, the plant height, stem diameter, photosynthetic rate, and root vitality of grafted C. sativus under wheat straw plus plastic film mulching, plastic film mulching, and wheat straw mulching were increased by 91, 71 and 57 cm, 0.

[Effects of soil surface mulching on solar greenhouse grafted and own-rooted cucumber growth and soil environment].

The study on the effects of different soil surface mulching models, including wheat straw mulching (WS), plastic film mulching (PF), and wheat straw plus plastic film mulching (WP), on the growth of solar greenhouse grafted and own-rooted cucumber and on soil environment showed that soil surface mulching not only increased the individuals of pistillate flower, improved its differentiation and development, shortened fruit-developing period, increased fruit weight, reduced fruit malformation percentage, but also raised total yield. Among the test mulching models, WP was better than WS and PF, and the effects were superior on grafted than on own-rooted cucumber. Soil surface mulching also had considerable effects on soil environment, but the effects varied with different modules.
