There has been an upward trend in the incidence of glioma, with high recurrence and high mortality. The beta subunits of the 20S proteasome are encoded by the proteasome beta (PSMB) genes and may affect the proteasome's function in glioma, assembly and inhibitor binding. This study attempted to reveal the function of the proliferation and invasion of glioma cells, which is affected by proteasome 20S subunit beta 2 (PSMB2).

The flower-infecting fungus Ustilaginoidea virens causes rice false smut, which is a severe emerging disease threatening rice (Oryza sativa) production worldwide. False smut not only reduces yield, but more importantly produces toxins on grains, posing a great threat to food safety. U.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as a group of signaling molecules in rice functioning in regulation of development and stress responses. Respiratory burst oxidase homologues (Rbohs) are key enzymes in generation of ROS. However, the role of the nine Rboh family members was not fully understood in rice multiple disease resistance and yield traits.

Glioma is the most common primary tumor of the central nervous system. The conventional glioma treatment strategies include surgical excision and chemo- and radiation-therapy. Interferon Gamma (IFN-γ) is a soluble dimer cytokine involved in immune escape of gliomas.

Grain formation is fundamental for crop yield but is vulnerable to abiotic and biotic stresses. Rice grain production is threatened by the false smut fungus Ustilaginoidea virens, which specifically infects rice floral organs, disrupting fertilization and seed formation. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of the U.

Sogatella furcifera is one of the main agricultural pests in many Asian countries, bringing about enormous injury. A triflumezopyrim-resistant (Tri) strain of S. furcifera was established through continuous screening in laboratory.

is the causative agent of rice blast, a devastating disease in rice worldwide. Based on the gene-for-gene paradigm, resistance (R) proteins can recognize their cognate avirulence (AVR) effectors to activate effector-triggered immunity. genes have been demonstrated to evolve rapidly, leading to breakdown of the cognate resistance genes.

Wuhan was the first large city where the initial breakout of COVID-19 took numerous lives. A group of social workers and mental health specialists coordinated the "Be Together Program" (BTP), a psychosocial grief intervention program to help a group of Wuhan COVID-19 bereaved people. Under the Dual-process model framework, BTP used the internet and social media as the main tools, combined with group and individual intervention.

Article Synopsis
  • Many rice microRNAs, particularly Osa-miR535, play critical roles in regulating traits and immunity, with Osa-miR535 specifically targeting SPL genes like OsSPL14 and OsSPL4.
  • Overexpression of Osa-miR535 decreases the protein levels of OsSPL4, leading to reduced immunity against the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae.
  • Transgenic rice lines with overexpressed OsSPL4 show increased resistance to blast disease and elevated immune responses, indicating a potential parallel pathway with OsSPL14 in rice's defense mechanisms.
