Transcriptome-Based Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis Reveals the Photosynthesis Pathway and Hub Genes Involved in Promoting Tiller Growth under Repeated Drought-Rewatering Cycles in Perennial Ryegrass.

Drought stress, which often occurs repeatedly across the world, can cause multiple and long-term effects on plant growth. However, the repeated drought-rewatering effects on plant growth remain uncertain. This study was conducted to determine the effects of drought-rewatering cycles on aboveground growth and explore the underlying mechanisms.

Effects of microplastics on NO production and reduction potential in crop soils of northern China.

Microplastics (MPs) pollution are found to be increasing in vegetable soils and potentially affecting NO production and their associated pathways; however, its specific effects remain unclear. Here, we selected two common MPs, PE and PP at four different concentration levels of 0, 0.5, 1.

Short term grazing increased growing-season NO production and decreased its reduction potential by reducing the abundance and expression of nosZ clade II gene in a semi-arid steppe.

Understanding nitrous oxide (NO) production as well as reduction in response to grazing and mowing is essential for designing better management strategies to improve sustainability of grassland ecosystems. We evaluated how four years of grazing or mowing altered NO production and reduction potential, gene abundance, and expression of microbial functional groups pertinent to NO production in situ on a typical grassland in Inner Mongolia. In our study, we found that grazing dramatically raised soil ammonium (NH-N) and nitrate (NO-N) concentrations, AOB gene abundance and potential of NO production through nitrification (N) and denitrification (D) in summer, but lessened the expression of nosZ clade II gene in all seasons.

Myasthenia gravis after the third dose of human papillomavirus 9-valent vaccine: A case report.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main cause of cervical cancer. HPV vaccination is considered an effective way to prevent cervical cancer. Although the vast majority of people experience no obvious adverse reactions after being vaccinated with HPV vaccine, the continuous monitoring of adverse events following immunization is important.

polymerized ionic liquids in polyester fiber composite membranes for detection of trace oil.

trace detection on ultra-clean surfaces is an important technology. The polyester fiber (PF) was introduced to serve as the template, to which the ionic liquids were bonded by hydrogen bonding. Polymerized ionic liquids (PIL) in PF were formed by polymerization with the azodiisobutyronitrile (AIBN) and IL.

Adverse childhood experiences and human immunodeficiency virus testing among adults with human immunodeficiency virus risk behaviours.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been associated with poor HIV testing in adulthood yet, they have not been extensively described in those at increased risk for HIV. Cross-sectional analysis data (n = 204,231) on ACEs and HIV testing were obtained from the 2019-2020 Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance Survey. Weighted logistic regression models were used to access the association of ACEs exposure, ACEs score, and ACEs type with HIV testing among adults with HIV risk behaviours, and stratified analysis was also performed to examine gender differences.

Mining for salt-tolerant genes from halophyte using FOX system and functional analysis of .

is a salt-tolerant turfgrass grown in areas with high soil salinity irrigated with effluent water. Previous studies focused on explaining the regulatory mechanism of salt-tolerance at phenotypic and physiological levels. However, the molecular mechanism associated with salt tolerance of remained unclear.

High soil carbon sequestration rates persist several decades in turfgrass systems: A meta-analysis.

Managed turfgrass is a common component of urban landscapes that is expanding under current land use trends. Previous studies have reported high rates of soil carbon sequestration in turfgrass, but no systematic review has summarized these rates nor evaluated how they change as turfgrass ages. Here we conducted a meta-analysis of soil carbon sequestration rates from 63 studies globally, comprised mostly of C3 grass species in the U.

Carbon Sequestration in Turfgrass-Soil Systems.

Plants are key components of the terrestrial ecosystem carbon cycle. Atmospheric CO is assimilated through photosynthesis and stored in plant biomass and in the soil. The use of turfgrass is expanding due to the increasing human population and urbanization.

Reallocation of Soluble Sugars and IAA Regulation in Association with Enhanced Stolon Growth by Elevated CO in Creeping Bentgrass.

Extensive stolon development and growth are superior traits for rapid establishment as well as post-stress regeneration in stoloniferous grass species. Despite the importance of those stoloniferous traits, the regulation mechanisms of stolon growth and development are largely unknown. The objectives of this research were to elucidate the effects of the reallocation of soluble sugars for energy reserves and endogenous hormone levels for cell differentiation and regeneration in regulating stolon growth of a perennial turfgrass species, creeping bentgrass ( L.

Tannic acid-polypyrrole multifunctional coating layer enhancing the interface effect and efficient Li-ion transport of a phosphorus anode.

Phosphorus has been considered a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries because of its high specific capacity of 2596 mA h g and safe lithiation voltage of 0.7 V. However, the practical application of the phosphorus anode is challenged by its poor cyclability associated with the dissolution of phosphorus intermediates, the enormous volume expansion and the sluggish lithiation reaction kinetics during the cycling process.

Detection of meningoencephalitis caused by Listeria monocytogenes with ischemic stroke-like onset using metagenomics next-generation sequencing: A case report.

Rationale: Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) is a compatible intracellular bacterial pathogen that can invade different mammalian cells and reach the central nervous system (CNS), leading to meningoencephalitis and brain abscesses. In the diagnosis of L.

The Antifungal Protein -AfpA Is also a Possible Effector Protein Required for the Interaction of the Fungus with Its Host Grass subsp. .

Strong creeping red fescue ( subsp. ) is a commercially important low-maintenance turfgrass and is often naturally infected with the fungal endophyte . spp.

Relationship between Uric Acid Level and Severity of Acute Primary Cerebral Infarction: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Numerous studies have shown that uric acid (UA) is associated with cerebrovascular disease, but whether UA is a protective factor or worsens the risk of developing cerebrovascular disease remains controversial. This study investigated the relationship between UA levels detected at admission and the severity of acute primary cerebral infarction. This cross-sectional study enrolled patients with acute primary cerebral infarction ( = 238, 157 men).

Transcriptome Analysis of Choke Stroma and Asymptomatic Inflorescence Tissues Reveals Changes in Gene Expression in Both and Its Host Plant subsp. .

Many cool-season grasses have symbiotic relationships with (Ascomycota, Clavicipitaceae) fungal endophytes that inhabit the intercellular spaces of the above-ground parts of the host plants. The presence of the endophytes is generally beneficial to the hosts due to enhanced tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses conferred by the endophytes. Many spp.

The Epichloë festucae antifungal protein has activity against the plant pathogen Sclerotinia homoeocarpa, the causal agent of dollar spot disease.

Epichloë spp. are naturally occurring fungal endophytic symbionts of many cool-season grasses. Infection by the fungal endophytes often confers biotic and abiotic stress tolerance to their hosts.

Development of a greenhouse-based inoculation protocol for the fungus Colletotrichum cereale pathogenic to annual bluegrass (Poa annua).

The fungus Colletotrichum cereale incites anthracnose disease on Poa annua (annual bluegrass) turfgrass. Anthracnose disease is geographically widespread throughout the world and highly destructive to cool-season turfgrasses, with infections by C. cereale resulting in extensive turf loss.
