Plasma proteomics implicate glutamic oxaloacetic transaminases as potential markers for acute myocardial infarction.

Aim: To provide a novel perspective on the pathogenesis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with respect to glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT).

Methods: The plasma proteome of 20 patients with AMI were matched for age and sex and compared with 10 healthy individuals. We analyzed the mass spectrum data and compared the signal intensity of the corresponding peptides which related to their corresponding proteins.

Identification of genes associated with soluble sugar and organic acid accumulation in 'Huapi' kumquat (Fortunella crassifolia Swingle) via transcriptome analysis.

Background: The levels and ratios of sugar and acid are important contributors to fruit taste. Kumquat is one of the most economically important citrus crops, but information on the soluble sugar and organic acid metabolism in kumquat is limited. Here, two kumquat varieties - 'Rongan' (RA) and its mutant 'Huapi' (HP) - were used to assess soluble sugar and organic acid accumulation and the related genes.

Genome-Wide Identification of Long Non-coding RNA in Trifoliate Orange ( (L.) Raf) Leaves in Response to Boron Deficiency.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in plant growth and stress responses. As a dominant abiotic stress factor in soil, boron (B) deficiency stress has impacted the growth and development of citrus in the red soil region of southern China. In the present work, we performed a genome-wide identification and characterization of lncRNAs in response to B deficiency stress in the leaves of trifoliate orange (), an important rootstock of citrus.

[Effects of drought and rewatering on leaf photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence, and root architecture of citrus seedlings.].

Drought severely affects citrus growth and development. In order to explore the mechanism of drought response of citrus, two cultivars (Sanhuhongju and Sanhuhuahong) that differing in drought tolerance were used as materials. The drought and rewatering treatment was conducted in pot experiments, with leaf photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence, and root architecture being measured.

Transcription profiles of boron-deficiency-responsive genes in citrus rootstock root by suppression subtractive hybridization and cDNA microarray.

Boron (B) deficiency has seriously negative effect on citrus production. Carrizo citrange (CC) has been reported as a B-deficiency tolerant rootstock. However, the molecular mechanism of its B-deficiency tolerance remained not well-explored.

Digital gene expression analysis of corky split vein caused by boron deficiency in 'Newhall' Navel Orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) for selecting differentially expressed genes related to vascular hypertrophy.

Corky split vein caused by boron (B) deficiency in 'Newhall' Navel Orange was studied in the present research. The boron-deficient citrus exhibited a symptom of corky split vein in mature leaves. Morphologic and anatomical surveys at four representative phases of corky split veins showed that the symptom was the result of vascular hypertrophy.
