The transcription factor ClWRKY61 interacts with ClLEA55 to enhance salt tolerance in watermelon.

High salinity can severely inhibit the growth and development of watermelon ( L.). WRKY proteins are believed to mediate the adaptation of plants to abiotic stresses.

A membrane fouling control strategy based on a combination of pre-treatment mitigation and in-situ membrane surface regulation using a composite coagulant.

Ultrafiltration technology (UF) is efficient in surface water treatment, but its development and widespread application are limited by membrane fouling. Herein, an efficient and stable polymerized ferric titanium coagulant (PFTC) was synthesized and used as a UF pretreatment agent in actual lake water treatment. The control mechanism of PFTC on membrane fouling was investigated from the perspective of organic removal efficiency and in-situ membrane surface regulation.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of Chitinase Genes in Watermelon under Abiotic Stimuli and Infection.

Chitinases, which catalyze the hydrolysis of chitin, the primary components of fungal cell walls, play key roles in defense responses, symbiotic associations, plant growth, and stress tolerance. In this study, 23 chitinase genes were identified in watermelon ( [Thunb.]) and classified into five classes through homology search and phylogenetic analysis.

The relationship between chronic perceived stress and error processing: evidence from event-related potentials.

Prolonged exposure to stress has a wide effect on the brain and cognition. Error processing, as one of the crucial components of executive function, plays an important role in cognitive and behavior control. However, to date, there is little research addressing the relationship between chronic perceived stress and error processing.

EEG correlates of math anxiety during arithmetic problem solving: Implication for attention deficits.

Anxiety about math can lead to long-term negative consequences related to academic achievement and professional success. However, it remains unclear how elevated math-anxiety modulates brain activity while solving arithmetic problems. In the current study, we recorded electrophysiological responses throughout arithmetic problem solving, both at the period of anticipating an upcoming arithmetic problem and solving an arithmetic problem.
