Regulates Plant Structure in .

Plant structure has a large influence on crop yield formation, with branching and plant height being the important factors that make it up. We identified a gene, , encoding a TEOSINTE BRANCHED1/CYCLOIDEA/PROLIFERATING CELL FACTOR (TCP) transcription factor highly conserved with gene (BRANCHED1) in . Sequence analysis revealed that included a conserved basic helix-loop-helix (BHLH) motif and R domain.

Genetic dissection of ten photosynthesis-related traits based on InDel- and SNP-GWAS in soybean.

A total of 416 InDels and 112 SNPs were significantly associated with soybean photosynthesis-related traits. GmIWS1 and GmCDC48 might be related to chlorophyll fluorescence and gas-exchange parameters, respectively. Photosynthesis is one of the main factors determining crop yield.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of .

is a widely used medicinal plant. The total length of the chloroplast genome was 151,390 bp, and it comprised a large single-copy (LSC, 83,432 bp) region, a small single-copy (SSC, 18,304 bp) region, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 49,654 bp). A total of 130 coding genes were annotated, including 88 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 34 tRNA genes.

Inhibition of multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants entry by Lycium barbarum L. polysaccharides through disruption of spike protein-ACE2 interaction.

Viral respiratory infections are major human health concerns. The most striking epidemic disease, COVID-19 is still on going with the emergence of fast mutations and drug resistance of pathogens. A few polysaccharide macromolecules from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have been found to have direct anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity but the mechanism remains unclear.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of purple rain (betulaceae).

purple rain is a variety of that is native to Europe and has important ornamental and economic value. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of purple rain. This genome had a typical quadripartite structure with 160,552 bases, including a large single copy (LSC) region of 89,433 bases, a small single copy (SCC) region of 19,007 bases and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,056 bases.

Genome-Wide Analysis of B3 Transcription Factors in L.

The B3 transcription factor has been identified in , , and , among other species. This family of transcription factors regulates seed growth, development, and stress. Cannabis is a valuable crop with numerous applications; however, no B3 transcription factors have been identified in this plant.

Telephone follow-up by clinical pharmacists can improve treatment outcomes in patients with peptic ulcers: A prospective randomized study.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pharmaceutical care by clinical pharmacists through telephone follow-up on the treatment outcomes in patients with peptic ulcers who had been discharged from the hospital.

Methods: A total of 120 patients with peptic ulcers discharged from the hospital were randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group, with 60 patients in each group. The patients in the two groups received different services.

Downregulation of a gibberellin 3β-hydroxylase enhances photosynthesis and increases seed yield in soybean.

Seed yield, determined mainly by seed numbers and seed weight, is the primary target of soybean breeding. Identifying the genes underlying yield-related traits is of great significance. Through joint linkage mapping and a genome-wide association study for 100-seed weight, we cloned GmGA3ox1, a gene encoding gibberellin 3β-hydroxylase, which is the key enzyme in the gibberellin synthesis pathway.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering on organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) on organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites is explored and for the first time the SERS activity (EF ≥ 10) of the nanostructured CHNHPbBr has been proved. Here, the SERS profile displays high similarity with the normal Raman spectra and the enhancement mechanism is discussed according to the charge transfer contribution.

[Preparation of Au Nanoparticles with Different Morphologies and Study of Their Property as Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Substrates].

Different shapes of gold nanoparticles (NPs) have different enhancement effect in Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS). The polyhedral Au NPs have multiple angular structures, which show stronger enhancement effect than Au nanoplatelets. In recent years, the research on synthesis and properties of polyhedral Au NPs has attracted much attention.

Protective immunity elicited by a pseudotyped baculovirus-mediated bivalent H5N1 influenza vaccine.

The development of novel H5N1 influenza vaccines to elicit a broad immune response is a priority in veterinary and human public health. In this report, a baculovirus vector was used to construct bivalent recombinant baculovirus vaccine encoding H5N1 influenza virus hemagglutinin proteins (BV-HAs) from clade 2.3.
