Objectives: The comprehensive impact of polysocial risk score (PsRS)-encompassing multiple social determinants of health (SDoHs) with genetic and lifestyle factors on dementia incidence remains to be elucidated.
Study Design: This study aimed to clear the associations between PsRS and dementia incidence and evaluated how genetic and lifestyle factors modified these associations in the UK Biobank cohort.
Methods: The detailed prospective study involved over 500,000 participants when recruited in 2006-2010.
Mechanisms underlying nodulation factor signaling downstream of the nodulation factor receptors (NFRs) have not been fully characterized. In this study, clathrin heavy chain1 (CHC1) was shown to interact with the Rho-Like GTPase ROP6, an interaction partner of NFR5 in Lotus japonicus. The CHC1 gene was found to be expressed constitutively in all plant tissues and induced in Mesorhizobium loti-infected root hairs and nodule primordia.

However, the genes responsible for callose deposition in this subcellular location have not been identified. In this paper we examine callose deposition patterns in T-DNA insertion mutants (cs7) of the Callose Synthase 7 (CalS7) gene.

The NODULE INCEPTION (NIN) gene in Lotus japonicus is required for rhizobial entry into root cells and for nodule organogenesis. We describe here a novel DNA-binding protein from L.
