Low-temperature-induced singlet oxygen adaptation decreases susceptibility to the mycotoxin TeA in invasive plant Ageratina adenophora.

The mycotoxin tenuazonic acid (TeA) inhibits photosynthesis and is expected to be developed as a bioherbicide to control Ageratina adenophora that is one of the most serious invasive alien plants in China. New leaves sprouting from A. adenophora at low temperatures (LT) in early spring are less sensitive to TeA compared to those growing in summer.

Comparative Analysis of Temperature and Stress Simulations in Mass Concrete for Sluice Gate Structures Based on Chinese and American Standards.

Temperature-induced cracks during the construction of large concrete structures, such as water gates and bridges, caused by hydration heat, pose a serious threat to structural safety and reliability. To address this, various countries have developed temperature control standards and guidelines for mass concrete structures, providing design direction and evaluation criteria. China and the United States (U.

Application of integrated omics in aseptic loosening of prostheses after hip replacement.

Aseptic loosening (AL) of artificial hip joints is the most common complication following hip replacement surgery. A total of eight patients diagnosed with AL following total hip arthroplasty (THA) undergoing total hip replacement and eight control patients diagnosed with avascular necrosis of femoral head (ANFH) or femoral neck fracture undergoing THA were enrolled. The samples of the AL group were from synovial tissue surrounding the lining/head/neck of the prosthesis, and the samples of the control group were from the synovium in the joint cavity.

Relationship between morphological and genetic diversity of Phelipanche aegyptiaca in Xinjiang China.

Background: Phelipanche aegyptiaca is one of the most noxious parasitic weedy broomrapes in Xinjiang, China. Understanding its morphological polymorphism and genetic diversity can support effective control strategies. This study investigated the morphological and genetic diversity among and within populations from different geographical regions and host species across Xinjiang to characterize their relationships.

Dual-mode colorimetric and chemiluminescence aptasensor for organophosphorus pesticides detection using aptamer-regulated peroxidase-like activity of TA-Cu.

The residues of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) in food pose a huge threat to human health. Therefore, the development of detection methods with simple design and high sensitivity is urgently needed. Here, a colorimetric/chemiluminescence (CL) dual-mode aptasensor strategy with high selectivity and sensitivity for detecting Parathion-methyl (PM) was designed based on aptamer-regulated nanozyme activity.
