Genome-wide characterization of drought-responsive long non-coding RNAs in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor).

Drought stress strongly affects crop yield. Although knowledge of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been updated continuously and rapidly, information about lncRNAs in drought resistance regulation is extremely limited in sorghum. Here, lncRNA-sequencing was performed with seedlings of a sorghum cultivar (Jinza29) under three water control treatments to investigate the mechanism of lncRNAs responsible for drought resistance in sorghum.

Genetic dissection of ten photosynthesis-related traits based on InDel- and SNP-GWAS in soybean.

A total of 416 InDels and 112 SNPs were significantly associated with soybean photosynthesis-related traits. GmIWS1 and GmCDC48 might be related to chlorophyll fluorescence and gas-exchange parameters, respectively. Photosynthesis is one of the main factors determining crop yield.

[Identification, expression and DNA variation analysis of high affinity nitrate transporter / gene family in ].

Nitrate is the main form of inorganic nitrogen that crop absorbs, and nitrate transporter 2 (NRT2) is a high affinity transporter using nitrate as a specific substrate. When the available nitrate is limited, the high affinity transport systems are activated and play an important role in the process of nitrate absorption and transport. Most NRT2 cannot transport nitrates alone and require the assistance of a helper protein belonging to nitrate assimilation related family (NAR2) to complete the absorption or transport of nitrates.

Aggregation-induced emission biomaterials for anti-pathogen medical applications: detecting, imaging and killing.

Microbial pathogens, including bacteria, fungi and viruses, greatly threaten the global public health. For pathogen infections, early diagnosis and precise treatment are essential to cut the mortality rate. The emergence of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) biomaterials provides an effective and promising tool for the theranostics of pathogen infections.

Work Emotion Intervention and Guidance Training Method for Enterprise Employees Based on Virtual Reality.

Objective: Improper management of employees' emotions has a great impact on work status and work efficiency, and emotional management has increasingly become a very important part of corporate human resource management. How to adjust the various emotions of employees, so that employees can work in a fuller and more passionate attitude, is a problem that enterprise managers need to consider. From the perspective of employees themselves, a good mood will also bring happiness and satisfaction to life and work.

Endoplasmic reticulum stress contributes to acetylcholine receptor degradation by promoting endocytosis in skeletal muscle cells.

After binding by acetylcholine released from a motor neuron, a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor at the neuromuscular junction produces a localized end-plate potential, which leads to muscle contraction. Improper turnover and renewal of acetylcholine receptors contributes to the pathogenesis of myasthenia gravis. In the present study, we demonstrate that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress contributes to acetylcholine receptor degradation in C2C12 myocytes.

[Flavonoids of puerarin versus tanshinone II A for ischemic stroke: a randomized controlled trial].

Background: Flavonoids are widely used today in the treatment of ischemic stroke. The therapeutic effects and functions of flavonoids are, therefore, generating more and more interest.

Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effects and functions of flavonoids of puerarin in treating patients with ischemic stroke.
