Article Synopsis
  • The NAC (NAM, ATAF, and CUC) transcription factor family plays a crucial role in plant growth, development, and stress resistance, yet the gene family in night lily has not been systematically analyzed before.
  • A genome-wide study identified 113 HcNAC gene members from the Hemerocallis citrina genome, revealing their uneven distribution across 11 chromosomes and categorizing them into 16 subgroups based on phylogenetic analysis.
  • The study also indicated that most HcNAC genes have higher expression in roots and that certain genes respond differently to drought and salinity, suggesting their significant role in abiotic stress response and potential for improving stress resilience in transgenic plants.

As one of the most important tasks of natural language processing, textual emotion classification (TEC) aims to recognize and detect all emotions contained in texts. However, most existing methods are implemented using deep learning approaches, which may suffer from long training time and low convergence. Motivated by these challenges, in this paper, we provide a new solution for TEC by using cascading broad learning (CBL) and sentence embedding using a masked and permuted pre-trained language model (MPNet), named CBLMP.

Language is an advanced cognitive function of humans, and verbs play a crucial role in language. To understand how the human brain represents verbs, it is critical to analyze what knowledge humans have about verbs. Thus, several verb feature datasets have been developed in different languages such as English, Spanish, and German.

In triploid watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), the homologous chromosomes of germ cells are disorder during meiosis, resulting in the failure of seeds formation and producing seedless fruit. Therefore, mutating the genes specifically functioning in meiosis may be an alternative way to achieve seedless watermelon. REC8, as a key component of the cohesin complex in meiosis, is dramatically essential for sister chromatid cohesion and chromosome segregation.

The formation and consolidation of memory play a vital role for survival in an ever-changing environment. In the brain, the change and stabilization of potentiated and depressed synapses are the neural basis of memory formation and maintenance. These changes can be induced by rather short stimuli (only a few seconds or even less) but should then be stable for months or years.

Most randomized trials for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) have investigated highly selected patients under idealized conditions, and the findings need to be validated in the real world. We conducted a population-based study of all APL patients in Zhejiang Province, China, with a total population of 82 million people, to assess the generalization of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic as front-line treatment. The outcomes of APL patients were also analyzed.

Memory and language are important high-level cognitive functions of humans, and the study of conceptual representation of the human brain is a key approach to reveal the principles of cognition. However, this research is often constrained by the availability of stimulus materials. The research on concept representation often needs to be based on a standardized and large-scale database of conceptual semantic features.

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) has been identified as an unfavorable prognostic factor in most solid tumors. However, HIF-1α was suggested to predict improved survival in Western patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) under rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) treatment. We studied HIF-1α protein expression by immunohistochemical staining of 155 paraffin-embedded specimens from Chinese patients with DLBCL treated with R-CHOP or CHOP.
