Apoptosis and NETotic cell death affect diabetic nephropathy independently: An study integrative study encompassing bioinformatics, machine learning, and experimental validation.

Objective: Although programmed cell death (PCD) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) are intrinsically conneted, the interplay among various PCD forms remains elusive. In this study, We aimed at identifying independently DN-associated PCD pathways and biomarkers relevant to the related pathogenesis.

Methods: We acquired DN-related datasets from the GEO database and identified PCDs independently correlated with DN (DN-PCDs) through single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA) as well as, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.

Untargeted metabolomics in with habitat heterogeneity and the key abiotic factors affecting its active ingredients.

Introduction: is a rare, endangered herb with diverse pharmacological properties. Understanding the main metabolite types and characteristics of wild is important for efficiently utilizing resources and examining quality according to origin.

Methods: Samples were collected from the main production areas across five regions in Fujian Province, China.

Evolutionary differences in gene loss and pseudogenization among mycoheterotrophic orchids in the tribe Vanilleae (subfamily Vanilloideae).

Introduction: is a mycoheterotrophic orchid belonging to the tribe Vanilleae within the subfamily Vanilloideae.

Methods: In this study, the plastome was assembled and annotated, and compared with other Vanilleae orchids, revealing the evolutionary variations between the photoautotrophic and mycoheterotrophic plastomes.

Results: The plastome was found to include 32 protein-coding genes, 16 tRNA genes and four ribosomal RNA genes, including 11 pseudogenes.

[Effects of growth-promoting strain sp. M23 on photosynthesis of ].

The agronomic traits, chlorophyll content, physiological indices of were compared in five treatments, namely negative control (CK), positive control (PCK), low dose of microbial inoculant (T, 50 g per seedling), moderate dose of microbial inoculant (T, 100 g per seedling), high dose of microbial inoculant (T, 200 g per seedling) in field. The diurnal variation of net photosynthetic rate was measured by Li-6400 portable photosynthesis system. The diurnal variation of net photosynthetic rate () of showed a pattern of bi-modal curve with photosynthetic "noon break" phenomenon, which occurred at 1:00 pm.

The Plant Growth-Promoting Fungus MF23 ( sp.) Increases Production of (Orchidaceae) by Affecting Nitrogen Uptake and Assimilation.

Kimura et Migo is a traditional and scarce medicinal orchid in China. Mycorrhizal fungi could supply nitrogen (N) to orchids for seed germination and seedling recruitment. However, the N transport mechanism between orchids and the fungus is poorly understand.

Use of transcriptomic profiling to identify candidate genes involved in Polyporus umbellatus sclerotial formation affected by oxalic acid.

Polyporus umbellatus is a precious medicinal fungus. Oxalic acid was observed to affect sclerotial formation and sclerotia possessed more medicinal compounds than mycelia. In this study, the transcriptome of P.

[Identification of water buffalo horn and its adulterants using COI barcode].

Bubali cornu (water buffalo horn) has been used as the substitute for Cornu rhinoceri asiatici (rhino horn) in clinical applications, and is the essential ingredient of Angong Niuhuang Wan. In recent years, there are a number of adulterants on the commercial herbal medicine markets. An efficient tool is required for species identification.

[Molecular diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in wild and cultured Gynostemma pentaphyllum roots in Xishuangbanna, Southwest China].

By using nested-PCR, DNA cloning, and sequencing techniques, this paper studied the diversity of the community structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in wild and cultured Gynostemma pentaphyllum roots. A total of 551 clones containing 18S rDNA genes of AMF were obtained from the roots. After the analysis of the restriction fragment length polymorphism, 100 different RFLP types were obtained, which were further divided into 20 AMF phylotypes belonging to seven families.
