Variation of TaMyb10 and their function on grain color and pre-harvest sprouting resistance of wheat.

Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is a significant threat to global food security due to its association with losses in both yield and quality. Among the genes involved in PHS resistance in wheat, PHS-3D (TaMyb10-D) plays a crucial role. Here, we characterized the sequence variations of TaMyb10 genes in 416 bread wheat and 302 Aegilops tauschii accessions.

Four new species of Moore (Lepidoptera, Drepanidae) in China and an annotated catalogue.

The Chinese species of the genus Moore, 1888 are reviewed and an annotated catalogue is provided. Four new species are described from China: Jiang & Han, , Jiang & Han, , Guo & Han, , and Guo & Han, Chu & Wang, 1987 and Chu & Wang, 1987 are newly combined into, respectively, the and species groups of . Wilkinson is newly recorded in China.

Aureochaeglobosins A-C, Three [4 + 2] Adducts of Chaetoglobosin and Aureonitol Derivatives from Chaetomium globosum.

Aureochaeglobosins A-C (1-3), three novel [4 + 2] cycloaddition heterodimers of chaetoglobosin and aureonitol derivatives, were obtained from the culture of endophytic fungus Chaetomium globosum, representing the first adduct examples of chaetoglobosins. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and a modified Mosher's method. Compounds 2 and 3 showed significant cytotoxicities against human MDA-MB-231 cancer cells with IC values of 7.

Global identification, structural analysis and expression characterization of bHLH transcription factors in wheat.

Background: Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TFs), which are widely distributed in eukaryotic organisms, play crucial roles in plant development. However, no comprehensive analysis of the bHLH family in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has been undertaken previously.

Identification and positional distribution analysis of transcription factor binding sites for genes from the wheat fl-cDNA sequences.

The binding sites of transcription factors (TFs) in upstream DNA regions are called transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs). TFBSs are important elements for regulating gene expression. To date, there have been few studies on the profiles of TFBSs in plants.

Significant association of alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase gene polymorphisms with susceptibility to prostate cancer: a meta-analysis.

Background: Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase(AMACR) is thought to play key roles in diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer. However, studies of associations between AMACR gene polymorphisms and prostate cancer risk reported inconsistent results. Therefore, we conducted the present meta-analysis to clarify the link between AMACR gene polymorphisms and prostate cancer risk.
