SpSIZ1 from hyperaccumulator orchestrates SpABI5 to fine-tune cadmium tolerance.

is a renowned hyperaccumulator of cadmium (Cd), possesses significant potential for eco-friendly phytoremediation of soil contaminated with Cd. Nevertheless, comprehension of the mechanisms underpinning its Cd stress response remains constrained, primarily due to the absence of a comprehensive genome sequence and an established genetic transformation system. In this study, we successfully identified a novel protein that specifically responds to Cd stress through early comparative iTRAQ proteome and transcriptome analyses under Cd stress conditions.

Factors Associated With HIV Testing Among MSM in Guilin, China: Results From a Cross-Sectional Study.

The objective of this study is to explore factors affecting the HIV testing behaviors among men who have sex with men (MSM) in China. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Guilin, China from April to June of 2021. Questionnaire data of 300 MSM were analyzed, and binary logistic regression models were used to examine the socio-demographic and sexual behavior characteristics associated with three HIV testing behaviors (self-testing, institutional testing, and regular testing).
