12-Oxo-phytodienoic acid reductases (OPRs) perform vital functions in plants. However, few studies have been reported in sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), and it is of great significance to systematically investigates it in sugarcane.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on how PR1 proteins affect sugarcane's ability to resist biotic stressors, specifically examining the genes in the PR1 family across two sugarcane cultivars, ROC22 and Zhongtang3, after pathogen infection.
  • A total of 18 PR1 genes were identified, categorized into four groups, with some showing duplications, and diverse physical and chemical characteristics.
  • The analysis revealed that certain genes are upregulated in the resistant cultivar and downregulated in the susceptible one, suggesting the potential for genetic improvement in sugarcane resistance to pathogens.

Article Synopsis
  • Climate change is threatening sustainable agriculture by negatively impacting crop productivity through environmental stresses.
  • Plants can detect various environmental cues and activate stress response mechanisms, highlighting the importance of pathogenesis-related proteins like PR-1 in their immune defense system.
  • Recent research has explored how factors like virulence effectors and epigenetic changes influence PR-1 expression, showing potential pathways for enhancing plant resilience to stress.

To analyze the research hotspots, frontiers and trends of fire needle clinical randomized controlled trial (RCT) literature in the past 10 years by using bibliometrics and knowledge mapping methods. Six Chinese and English databases including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed and Web of Science ( WOS ) were searched for RCT research literature on fire needle. CiteSpace V6.

Starting from the perspective of meridian theory, this article briefly analyzes the meridian pathophysiology of snoring and the relationship between snoring and meridian theory. It proposes that acupuncture treatment for snoring should focus on regulating from the meridians, harmonizing the spirit by the governor vessel, resolving phlegm through the three meridians, and harmonizing and blood from the meridians. Additionally, attention is placed on both the root cause and the symptoms, the theory of "four seas".

Due to various constraints, such as clinical implementation conditions and unique characteristics of acupuncture-moxibustion, some randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of acupuncture-moxibustion still suffer from relatively low quality and limited applicability. The single-arm objective performance criteria/performance goal can be considered as an ideal supplementary and alternative research approach to RCTs. In this paper, the feasibility of applying the single-arm objective performance criteria/performance goal in acupuncture-moxibustion clinical research is explored from the limitations of conducting acupuncture-moxibustion RCTs, the principles, the essential design considerations and key statistical steps.

This study summarizes the clinical thinking of acupuncture for snoring based on "disharmony leads to restlessness". According to the pathological characteristics of stagnation and blood stasis, phlegm dampness and internal obstruction in snoring patients, combined with the etiology, pathogenesis and location of the disease, the innovative viewpoint of "disharmony leads to restlessness" is proposed. It is believed that the key to snoring treatment lies in "regulating ".

Sugarcane bacilliform virus (SCBV) is considered one of the most economically damaging pathogens for sugarcane production worldwide. Three open reading frames (ORFs) are characterized in the circular, ds-DNA genome of the SCBV; these encode for a hypothetical protein (ORF1), a DNA binding protein (ORF2), and a polyprotein (ORF3). A comprehensive evaluation of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.

This study aimed to prepare the sugar industry for the possible introduction of genetically modified (GM) sugarcane and derived retail sugar products and to address several potential public concerns regarding the characteristics and safety of these products. GM sugarcane lines with integrated and foreign genes were used for GM sugar production. Traditional PCR, real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were performed in analyzing leaves, stems, and other derived materials during sugar production, such as fibers, clarified juices, filter mud, syrups, molasses, and final GM sugar product.

Potential environmental risks of genetically modified (GM) crops have raised concerns. To better understand the effect of transgenic rice on the bacterial community in paddy soil, a field experiment was carried out using pairs of rice varieties from two subspecies (indica and japonica) containing bar transgene with herbicide resistance and their parental conventional rice. The 16S rRNA gene of soil genomic DNA from different soil layers at the maturity stage was sequenced using high-throughput sequencing on the Illumina MiSeq platform to explore the microbial community diversity among different rice soils.
