The aim of this study was to investigate the key targets and molecular mechanisms of the drug pair Astragalus membranaceus and Poria cocos (HFDP) in the treatment of immunity. We utilized network pharmacology, molecular docking, and immune infiltration techniques in conjunction with data from the GEO database. Previous clinical studies have shown that HFDP has a positive impact on immune function.

Uncooled Broadband Photodetection Light Trapping in Conformal PtTe-Silicon Nanopillar Heterostructures.

Dirac semimetals have demonstrated significant attraction in the field of optoelectronics due to their unique bandgap structure and high carrier mobility. Combining them with classical semiconductor materials to form heterojunctions enables broadband optoelectronic conversion at room temperature. However, the low light absorption of layered Dirac semimetals substantially limits the device's responsivity in the infrared band.

Dissipation behaviours, residues, and health risk of six herbicides in sugar beets under field conditions.

This study established a residue detection method based on the QuEChERS pre-treatment method and combined it with high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to test six herbicides (metamitron, clopyralid, desmedipham, phenmedipham, ethofumesate, and haloxyfop-p-methyl) in sugar beet plants, soil, and roots. The degradation dynamics and terminal residues of each herbicide in sugar beets were analysed. Finally, the dietary risks of various herbicides in sugar beets were evaluated based on the dietary structure of Chinese people, and the risk quotient values were below 100%.

First report of Coniella vitis causing white rot on Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia [L.] Planch.) in China.

Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia [L.] Planch.) belongs to the genus of Parthenocissus and Vitaceae family, which is very common in vineyards and where wild grape occurs (Bergh et al.

Comparative genomic and functional analyses of ZBSF16 with biocontrol potential against grapevine diseases, provide insights into its genes related to plant growth-promoting and biocontrol mechanisms.

is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) widely distributed in various environments. ZBFS16 was isolated from the wheat rhizosphere and significantly suppressed grape white rot disease caused by . Here, we present the complete genome sequence of ZBFS16, which consists of a 5.

Suppression of Grape White Rot Caused by Using the Potential Biocontrol Agent GSBZ09.

Grape white rot caused by is prevalent in almost all grapevines worldwide and results in a yield loss of 10-20% annually. is a reputable plant growth-promoting bacterial. Strain GSBZ09 was isolated from grapevine cv.

Cotton CC-NBS-LRR Gene Confers Resistance to Verticillium Wilt Across Different Species.

Verticillium wilt (VW) is a destructive disease in cotton caused by and has a significant impact on yield and quality. In the absence of safe and effective chemical control, VW is difficult to manage. Thus, at present, developing resistant varieties is the most economical and effective method of controlling Verticillium wilt of cotton.

Source-Sink Manipulation Affects Accumulation of Zinc and Other Nutrient Elements in Wheat Grains.

To better understand the source-sink flow and its relationships with zinc (Zn) and other nutrients in wheat ( L.) plants for biofortification and improving grain nutritional quality, the effects of reducing the photoassimilate source (through the flag leaf removal and spike shading) or sink (through the removal of all spikelets from one side of the spike, i.e.

Dilemma and solution of land scarcity, agro-production, and environmental risk for typical grain-producing areas in rapid urbanizing process in China.

How to satisfy food production sustainably in the rapid urbanizing process is a vital problem for major grain-producing areas. Taking two national grain-producing regions in China, Shandong and Dongting Lake Region as examples, this study uses step-by-step prediction and a double-objective linear programming model to analyze the dilemma of land scarcity, food demand, and environmental load. It is found that food demand by 2030 will induce partial regional cropland deficiency and heterogeneous agro-environmental risk among cities.

Diversity and spoilage potential of microbial communities associated with grape sour rot in eastern coastal areas of China.

As a polymicrobial disease, sour rot decreases grape berry yield and wine quality. The diversity of microbial communities in sour rot-affected grapes depends on the cultivation site, but the microbes responsible for this disease in eastern coastal China, has not been reported. To identify the microbes that cause sour grape rot in this important grape-producing region, the diversity and abundance of bacteria and fungi were assessed by metagenomic analysis and cultivation-dependent techniques.

Discussing the regional-scale arable land use intensity and environmental risk triggered by the micro-scale rural households' differentiation based on step-by-step evaluation-a case study of Shandong Province, China.

Under the rapid social-economic development process, the income structure and arable land size among rural households are facing with increasing differentiation in China. How the regional-scale arable land use intensity and environmental risk triggered by the rural households' differentiation would be is a question that has not been widely discussed. To fill this research gap, this study established three step-by-step indexes, rural households' ER index, arable land use intensity (LUI), and environmental risk index (RI), to measure rural households' differentiation, regional arable land use intensity, and environmental risk, respectively.

Genome-Wide Characterization of bHLH Genes in Grape and Analysis of their Potential Relevance to Abiotic Stress Tolerance and Secondary Metabolite Biosynthesis.

Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors are involved in many abiotic stress responses as well as flavonol and anthocyanin biosynthesis. In grapes ( L.), flavonols including anthocyanins and condensed tannins are most abundant in the skins of the berries.

The sustainable arable land use pattern under the tradeoff of agricultural production, economic development, and ecological protection-an analysis of Dongting Lake basin, China.

To find a solution regarding sustainable arable land use pattern in the important grain-producing area during the rapid urbanization process, this study combined agricultural production, locational condition, and ecological protection to determine optimal arable land use. Dongting Lake basin, one of the major grain producing areas in China, was chosen as the study area. The analysis of land use transition, the calculation of arable land barycenter, the landscape indices of arable land patches, and the comprehensive evaluation of arable land quality(productivity, economic location, and ecological condition) were adopted in this study.

Characterization of a novel type of HMW subunit of glutenin from Australopyrum retrofractum.

The Triticeae species Australopyrum retrofractum (genome WW) produces a single high molecular weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS) in its endosperm. However, degenerate PCR amplification of its genome DNA revealed the presence of two related HMW-GS sequences, each consisting of an open reading frame. One of these (Glu-W1-2) has not previously been reported.
