Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Chinese Chestnut ( Blume) Cultivars Revealed by GBS Resequencing.

Chinese chestnut ( Bl.) is one of the earliest domesticated and cultivated fruit trees, and it is widely distributed in China. Because of the high quality of its nuts and its high resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses, Chinese chestnut could be used to improve edible chestnut varieties worldwide.

A Review of the Stress Resistance, Molecular Breeding, Health Benefits, Potential Food Products, and Ecological Value of .

Chestnut ( spp., family) is an economically and ecologically valuable species. The main goals of chestnut production vary among species and countries and depend on the ecological characteristics of orchards, agronomic management, and the architecture of chestnut trees.

lncRNAs MALAT1 and LINC00657 upstream to miR-214-3p/BMP2 regulate osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells.

Background: Osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) holds significant clinical implications for patients with bone diseases. LncRNAs are an emerging group of epigenetic modulators involved in the osteogenesis of hMSCs. In this study, we explored lncRNA profiles that are upstream to the hsa-miR-214-3p/BMP2 axis in osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs.

[Expression profile analysis of Peptide5 and Peptide6 in Arabidopsis].

Two predicted peptide genes in Arabidopsis thaliana L., Peptide5 and Peptide6, was confirmed by RT-PCR in mRNA level. The expression profile indicated that both genes were generally expressed at different developmental stages and tissues as constitutive gene expression, and they also responded to six treatments including NaCl, PEG, MeJA (methyl jasmonate), SA (salicylic acid), cold and wound in transcription level.
