Periapical lesion-derived decellularized extracellular matrix as a potential solution for regenerative endodontics.

Pulp regeneration remains a crucial target in the preservation of natural dentition. Using decellularized extracellular matrix is an appropriate approach to mimic natural microenvironment and facilitate tissue regeneration. In this study, we attempted to obtain decellularized extracellular matrix from periapical lesion (PL-dECM) and evaluate its bioactive effects.

Proteomic analysis of leaves and roots during drought stress and recovery in L.

Drought is a major environmental factor that limits agricultural crop productivity and threatens food security. Foxtail millet is a model crop with excellent abiotic stress tolerance and is consequently an important subject for obtaining a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying plant responses to drought and recovery. Here the physiological and proteomic responses of foxtail millet (cultivar Yugu1) leaves and roots to drought treatments and recovery were evaluated.

Effects of salt stress on seed germination and respiratory metabolism in different genotypes.

The selection and utilization of ornamental plants that are highly tolerant to salt are helpful for landscape construction and the ecological protection of coastal and arid areas. To evaluate salt tolerance, one of the most used methods is the observation of seed germination under salt stress. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the influence of different concentrations of NaCl in water absorption, germination, and respiratory metabolism in seeds of different genotypes.

Effects of nicosulfuron on plant growth and sugar metabolism in sweet maize (Zea mays L.).

The sulfonylurea herbicide nicosulfuron is efficient, harmless and selective at low doses and has been widely used in maize cultivation. In this study, a pair of corn sister lines, HK301 (nicosulfuron-tolerence, NT) and HK320 (nicosulfuron-sensitive, NS), was chosen to study the effect of nicosulfuron on plant growth and sugar metabolism in sweet maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings.

Responses of photosynthesis, antioxidant enzymes, and related gene expression to nicosulfuron stress in sweet maize (Zea mays L.).

Weed control in maize (Zea mays L.) crops is usually undertaken using the postemergence herbicide nicosulfuron. The toxicity of nicosulfuron on maize, especially sweet maize, has been widely reported.
