BnaC4.BOR2 mediates boron uptake and translocation in Brassica napus under boron deficiency.

Boron (B) is an essential microelement in plant growth and development. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying B uptake and translocation in Brassica napus are poorly understood. Herein, we identified a low-B (LB)-inducible gene, namely BnaC4.

BnaA4.BOR2 contributes the tolerance of rapeseed to boron deficiency by improving the transport of boron from root to shoot.

Boron (B) is essential for plant growth. However, the molecular mechanism of B transport in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is unknown well.

Acid phosphatase involved in phosphate homeostasis in Brassica napus and the functional analysis of BnaPAP10s.

Purple acid phosphatases (PAPs) are involved in activating the rhizosphere's organic phosphorus (P) and promoting P recycling during plant development, especially under the long-term P deficiency conditions in acid soil. However, the function of BnaPAPs in response to P deficiency stress in Brassica napus has rarely been explored. In this study, we found that the acid phosphatase activities (APA) of rapeseed shoot and root increased under P deficienct conditions.

Phosphate Transporter Regulates Phosphate Homeostasis in by Changing Its Translocation and Distribution .

Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is actively taken up by Pi transporters (PTs) from the soil and transported into the plant. Here, we functionally characterized the gene which belongs to the PHT1 family. BnaPT37 is a plasma membrane-localized protein containing 534 amino acids.

The Protective Role of Interleukin 17A in Acinetobacter baumannii Pneumonia Is Associated with Candida albicans in the Airway.

Recent studies have found that the coexistence of fungi and bacteria in the airway may increase the risk of infection, contribute to the development of pneumonia, and increase the severity of disease. Interleukin 17A (IL-17A) plays important roles in host resistance to bacterial and fungal infections. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of IL-17A on Acinetobacter baumannii-infected rats with a previous Candida albicans airway inoculation.

Natural Variations and Dynamic Changes of Nitrogen Indices throughout Growing Seasons for Twenty Tea Plant ( ) Varieties.

Tea ( (L.) O. Kuntze) leaves are harvested multiple times annually accompanied by a large amount of nitrogen (N) removed.

Comparative genome and transcriptome analysis unravels key factors of nitrogen use efficiency in Brassica napus L.

Considerable genetic variation in agronomic nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) has been reported among genotypes of Brassica napus. However, the physiological and molecular mechanisms underpinning these differences remain poorly understood. In this study, physiological and genetic factors impacting NUE were identified in field trials and hydroponic experiments using two B.

Transcription factor BnaA9.WRKY47 contributes to the adaptation of Brassica napus to low boron stress by up-regulating the boric acid channel gene BnaA3.NIP5;1.

Boron (B) deficiency is one of the major causes of growth inhibition and yield reduction in Brassica napus (B. napus). However, the molecular mechanisms of low B adaptation in B.

Molecular identification of the phosphate transporter family 1 (PHT1) genes and their expression profiles in response to phosphorus deprivation and other abiotic stresses in Brassica napus.

Phosphate (Pi) transporters play critical roles in Pi acquisition and homeostasis. However, little is known about these transporters in oilseed rape. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to characterize the members of the PHT1 gene family in allotetraploid Brassica napus and to analyze their expression profiles in response to environmental stresses.

Comprehensive Characterization of Oncogenic Drivers in Asian Lung Adenocarcinoma.

Introduction: The incidence rate of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the predominant histological subtype of lung cancer, is elevated in Asians, particularly in female nonsmokers. The mutation patterns in LUAD in Asians might be distinct from those in LUAD in whites.

Methods: We profiled 271 resected LUAD tumors (mainly stage I) to characterize the genomic landscape of LUAD in Asians with a focus on female nonsmokers.

Identification and characterization of improved nitrogen efficiency in interspecific hybridized new-type Brassica napus.

Background And Aims: Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) is an important oil crop worldwide. The aim of this study was to identify the variation in nitrogen (N) efficiency of new-type B. napus (genome A(r)A(r)C(c)C(c)) genotypes, and to characterize some critical physiological and molecular mechanisms in response to N limitation.

Overexpression of phyA and appA genes improves soil organic phosphorus utilisation and seed phytase activity in Brassica napus.

Phytate is the major storage form of organic phosphorus in soils and plant seeds, and phosphorus (P) in this form is unavailable to plants or monogastric animals. In the present study, the phytase genes phyA and appA were introduced into Brassica napus cv Westar with a signal peptide sequence and CaMV 35S promoter, respectively. Three independent transgenic lines, P3 and P11 from phyA and a18 from appA, were selected.

Genotypic variation in phosphorus acquisition from sparingly soluble P sources is related to root morphology and root exudates in Brassica napus.

Genotypic variations in the adaptive response to low-phosphorus (P) stress and P-uptake efficiency have been widely reported in many crops. We conducted a pot experiment to evaluate the P-acquisition ability of two rapeseed (Brassica napus) genotypes supplied with two sparingly soluble sources of P, Al-P and Fe-P. Then, the root morphology, proton concentrations, and carboxylate content were investigated in a solution experiment to examine the genotypic difference in P-acquisition efficiency.

Analysis of the contribution of acid phosphatase to P efficiency in Brassica napus under low phosphorus conditions.

To understand whether genotypic variation in acid phosphatase (APase) activity in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) induced by phosphorus (P) deficiency has impact on P efficiency, soil APase activity in the rhizosphere for rapeseed P-efficient genotype 102 and P-inefficient genotype 105 was measured against organic and inorganic P sources in the pot experiment, and the activities of root-secreted APase and leaf intracellular APase were investigated in different P-starvation periods in the nutrient solution. Higher activity of root-secreted APase in B.
