Background: Peanut (Arachis hypogaea), a vital oil and food crop globally, is susceptible to web blotch which is a significant foliar disease caused by Phoma arachidicola Marasas Pauer&Boerema leading to substantial yield losses in peanut production. Calcium treatment has been found to enhance plant resistance against pathogens.

Results: This study investigates the impact of exogenous calcium on peanut resistance to web blotch and explores its mechanisms.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecological tumor. Circular RNAs are a novel type of non-coding RNA that have important regulatory functions, particularly in the pathogenic progression of cancer. In this study, we investigated the function of circCCL22, and elucidated its molecular mechanism in EC progresssion.

Introduction: Grafting is a commonly used cultural practice to counteract salt stress and is especially important for vegetable production. However, it is not clear which metabolic processes and genes are involved in the response of tomato rootstocks to salt stress.

Methods: To elucidate the regulatory mechanism through which grafting enhances salt tolerance, we first evaluated the salt damage index, electrolyte permeability and Na accumulation in tomato ( L.

Background: According to the analysis of the challenges faced by the current public health circumstances such as the sharp increase in elderly patients, limited medical personnel, resources and technology, the agent-based intelligent medical diagnosis system for patients (AIMDS) is proposed in this research.

Objective: Based on advanced sensing technology and professional medical knowledge, the AIMDS can output the appropriate medical prescriptions and food prohibition when the physical signs and symptoms of the patient are inputted.

Methods: Three core modules are designed include sensing module, intuition-based fuzzy set theory/medical diagnosis module, and medical knowledge module.
