The Developmental Delay of Seedlings With Cotyledons Only Confers Stress Tolerance to (Chenopodiaceae) by Unique Performance on Morphology, Physiology, and Gene Expression.

Cotyledons play an important role in seedling establishment, although they may just exist for a short time and become senescent upon the emergence of euphylla. So far, the detailed function of cotyledons has not been well understood. is an annual halophyte distributed in cold deserts; its cotyledons could exist for a longer time, even last until maturity, and they must exert a unique function in seedling development.

Impaired autophagy contributes to adverse cardiac remodeling in acute myocardial infarction.

Objective: Autophagy is activated in ischemic heart diseases, but its dynamics and functional roles remain unclear and controversial. In this study, we investigated the dynamics and role of autophagy and the mechanism(s), if any, during postinfarction cardiac remodeling.

Methods And Results: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was induced by ligating left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery.
