Article Synopsis
- CONSTANS-like 14A (COL14A) is a newly identified gene from mango that is involved in regulating flowering and stress responses in plants.
- The two variants of this gene, MiCOL14A-JH and MiCOL14A-GQ, showed different expression patterns, with MiCOL14A-JH being linked to improved drought resistance, while MiCOL14A-GQ heightened salt sensitivity.
- The study highlights that the presence of an additional A base in MiCOL14A-JH affects its protein interactions and functional response to abiotic stress, emphasizing the gene's dual role in flowering regulation and stress adaptation in mangoes.
The CO/COL gene family plays an important role in regulating photoperiod-dependent flowering time in plants. In this study, two COL2 gene homologs, MiCOL2A and MiCOL2B, were isolated from 'SiJiMi' mango, and their expression patterns and functions were characterized. The MiCOL2A and MiCOL2B genes both belonged to the group Ⅰ of CO/COL gene family.

Article Synopsis
- * MiCOL1A and MiCOL1B proteins show high expression in leaves and flowers respectively, impacted by seasonal changes, and they have transcriptional activity in yeast.
- * Overexpressing MiCOL1A and MiCOL1B in Arabidopsis delayed flowering time and improved drought tolerance, indicating their roles in flowering regulation and stress response.
Background: Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit the development of lung tumors in experimental animals. To the authors' knowledge there are little data regarding whether regular use of NSAIDs reduces the risk of developing lung carcinoma in humans.
Methods: The association between lung carcinoma risk and regular use of NSAIDs, including aspirin, was evaluated in a hospital-based case-control study of 1038 patients and 1002 controls.
