The transcription factor OsNAC25 regulates potassium homeostasis in rice.

Over-application of potassium (K) fertilizer in fields has a negative impact on the environment. Developing rice varieties with high KUE will reduce fertilizer for sustainable agriculture. However, the genetic basis of KUE in a more diverse and inclusive population remains largely unexplored.

Mobile schwannoma of the lumbar spine: A case report and literature review.

Background: Schwannoma is a benign tumor that originates from the cells of nerve sheaths. The occurrence of mobile schwannoma of the lumbar spine is extremely rare, and when clinicians perform spinal explorations in the expected locations, the results are often negative. This report presents a case of mobile schwannoma in the lumbar spine, aiming to remind doctors to consider the possibility of tumor migration during preoperative planning, thereby avoiding secondary harm to the patient.

Rice Na-Permeable Transporter OsHAK12 Mediates Shoots Na Exclusion in Response to Salt Stress.

Soil salinity has become a major stress factor that reduces crop productivity worldwide. Sodium (Na) toxicity in a number of crop plants is tightly linked with shoot Na overaccumulation, thus Na exclusion from shoot is crucial for salt tolerance in crops. In this study, we identified a member of the high-affinity K transport family (HAK), OsHAK12, which mediates shoots Na exclusion in response to salt stress in rice.
