Application and development of ultrasound in industrial crystallization.

Crystallization is an important process that affects the properties of final products and is essential in nearly all chemical processing industries. In recent years, ultrasonic technology has received widespread attention due to its ability to enhance crystallization yield, improve crystal morphology and shape, and regulate the particle size and distribution of crystal products. It holds promising prospects for industrial crystallization.

A tuber mustard AP2/ERF transcription factor gene, , functioning in abscisic acid and abiotic stress responses, and evolutionary trajectory of the homologous genes in species.

The AP2/ERF superfamily of transcription factors is one of the largest transcription factor families in plants and plays an important role in plant development processes and stress responses. In this study, , an AP2/ERF superfamily gene, from tuber mustard ( var. Tsen et Lee), sharing high amino acid sequence similarity with the ( AP2-like abscisic acid repressor 1) gene, were performed functional research, and the homologous genes in species were identified and performed phylogenetic analysis.

Identification of circularRNAs and their targets in under Verticillium wilt stress based on RNA-seq.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a class of recently discovered non-coding RNAs, play a role in biological and developmental processes. A recent study showed that circRNAs exist in plants and play a role in their environmental stress responses. However, cotton circRNAs and their role in Verticillium wilt response have not been identified up to now.

Genome-wide comparative analysis of NBS-encoding genes in four Gossypium species.

Background: Nucleotide binding site (NBS) genes encode a large family of disease resistance (R) proteins in plants. The availability of genomic data of the two diploid cotton species, Gossypium arboreum and Gossypium raimondii, and the two allotetraploid cotton species, Gossypium hirsutum (TM-1) and Gossypium barbadense allow for a more comprehensive and systematic comparative study of NBS-encoding genes to elucidate the mechanisms of cotton disease resistance.

Results: Based on the genome assembly data, 246, 365, 588 and 682 NBS-encoding genes were identified in G.

Identification of novel microRNAs in the Verticillium wilt-resistant upland cotton variety KV-1 by high-throughput sequencing.

Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) play essential roles in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression during development, flowering, plant growth, metabolism, and stress responses. Verticillium wilt is one of the vascular disease in plants, which is caused by the Verticillium dahlia and leads to yellowing, wilting, lodging, damage to the vascular tissue, and death in cotton plants. Upland cotton varieties KV-1 have shown resistance to Verticillium wilt in multiple levels.

Transcriptome analysis of stem development in the tumourous stem mustard Brassica juncea var. tumida Tsen et Lee by RNA sequencing.

Background: Tumourous stem mustard (Brassica juncea var. tumida Tsen et Lee) is an economically and nutritionally important vegetable crop of the Cruciferae family that also provides the raw material for Fuling mustard. The genetics breeding, physiology, biochemistry and classification of mustards have been extensively studied, but little information is available on tumourous stem mustard at the molecular level.

The effect of focal adhesion kinase gene silencing on 5-fluorouracil chemosensitivity involves an Akt/NF-kappaB signaling pathway in colorectal carcinomas.

Multicellular resistance (MCR) is produced because multicellular spheroids (MCSs) are formed with a broad cell-cell connection when cultured in three-dimensions, which limits the clinical treatment efficacy in solid tumors. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) plays an important role in apoptosis, survival and cell adhesion between cells and their extracellular matrix. In this study, we investigated the expressions of FAK, Akt and NF-kappaB in human colorectal cancer (CRC), and the effects of FAK gene silencing on MCSs formation and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemosensitivity in colon carcinoma MCSs culture cells.
