Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Hemsl. (Thymelaeaceae), a rare alpine plant species in northwestern China.

Hemsl. (Thymelaeaceae) is an evergreen shrub plant. First, we characterized the complete nucleotide sequence of chloroplast (cp) genome of .

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the medicinal shrub Nitsche. (Thymelaeaceae).

Nitsche. (Thymelaeaceae) is a slow-growing shrub which has been used in Chinese folk medicine and commonly called 'Zu Shima'. In this study, we assembled the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of using data from high-throughput Illumina sequencing.

Lipid microdomain polarization is required for NADPH oxidase-dependent ROS signaling in Picea meyeri pollen tube tip growth.

The polarization of sterol-enriched lipid microdomains has been linked to morphogenesis and cell movement in diverse cell types. Recent biochemical evidence has confirmed the presence of lipid microdomains in plant cells; however, direct evidence for a functional link between these microdomains and plant cell growth is still lacking. Here, we reported the involvement of lipid microdomains in NADPH oxidase (NOX)-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling in Picea meyeri pollen tube growth.

Relationship between tumor necrosis factor-alphaand liver fibrosis.

INTRODUCTION:To intrestigate the relationship between tumor necrosis factor-alphaand liver fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease.METHODS:Radioimmunoassay was made in 20 patients with mild chronic hepatitis(CMH),20 patients with severe chronic hepatitis(CSH),51 patients with liver cirrhosis(LC)and 32-normal persons to determine the contents of tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-alpha),laminin-(LN) and hyaluronate (HA) in serum.The changes in and relationship between TNF-alpha,LN and HA were analyzed.
