Selecting low-nitrogen(N)-tolerant maize hybrids represent an effective approach to enhancing nitrogen use efficiency grain yield. However, the impact of nitrogen fertilization on protein accumulation in low-N-tolerant hybrids remain insufficiently explored. In this paper, a two-year field orientation trial was conducted at four nitrogen fertilizer rate with the different low-N-tolerant maize hybrids.

- Chlorophyll is essential for plant photosynthesis, and the gene involved in its biosynthesis, geranylgeraniol reductase, has not been extensively studied in relation to plant growth and photosynthesis.
- The research identified three specific genes, analyzed their evolutionary relationships, and found that one gene plays a key role in chlorophyll production, especially in leaves.
- Silencing this gene in poplar reduced chlorophyll synthesis and negatively impacted plant growth, highlighting the importance of these genes in enhancing tree breeding for rapid growth traits.
Objective: To investigate the mothod and therapeutic efficacy of total hip anthroplasties (THA) for osteoarthritis secondary to Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of hip in adults.
Methods: From May 2006 to December 2013, THA was performed on 15 adult patients (17 hips) with Growe type IV acetabular dysplasia, including 13 females and 2 males, with a mean age of 30.9 years old (22 to 58 years old) and an average preoperative Harris score of (34.
