Over thousands of years of domestication, maize has undergone significant environmental changes. Understanding the genetic and metabolic trace during maize evolution can better contribute to molecular breeding and nutrition quality improvement. This study examines the metabolic profiles and transcriptomes of maize kernels from teosinte, landrace, and maize accessions at 15 days post-pollination.

Though melatonin (MT) has been widely reported to enhance tolerance towards abiotic stresses in plants, the regulatory role melatonin plays in resisting salt tolerance in grapevines has scarcely been studied.

In the present study, combined metabolomics and transcriptomics analysis was used to explore color variations in the chrysanthemums of three cultivars, of which the color of JIN is yellow, FEN is pink, and ZSH is red. A total of 29 different metabolites, including nine anthocyanins, were identified in common in the three cultivars.

Targeting TAMs has emerged as a promising strategy to remodel immunosuppressive TME and enhance T-cell mediated anti-tumor immunity for cancer therapy. In this study, we investigate the effect and mechanism of total tannin fraction of Terminalia bellirica (Gaertn.

Aim Of The Study: In this study, the antidepressant-like effect and underlying mechanisms of Rb1 were been investigated.
Nowadays, heavy metal pollution has attracted wide attention. Many electrochemical methods have been developed to detect heavy metal ions. The electrode surface usually needs to be modified, and the process is complicated.
