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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
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 (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.

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.
