Deconstructing the Dimensions of Mycobiome Fingerprints in Luohandu Cave, Guilin, Southern China.

Subterranean karst caves are windows into the terrestrial subsurface to deconstruct the dimensions of mycobiome fingerprints. However, impeded by the constraints of remote locations, the inaccessibility of specimens and technical limitations, the mycobiome of subterranean karst caves has remained largely unknown. Weathered rock and sediment samples were collected from Luohandu cave (Guilin, Southern China) and subjected to Illumina Hiseq sequencing of ITS1 genes.

Weighted Gene Correlation Network Analysis (WGCNA) Detected Loss of MAGI2 Promotes Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) by Podocyte Damage.

Background/aims: Podocyte damage is associated with proteinuria, glomerulosclerosis and decline of renal function. This study aimed to screen critical genes associated with podocyte injury in chronic kidney disease (CKD) by weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA), and explore related functions.

Methods: GSE66107, GSE93798, GSE30528, GSE32591 gene expression data including podocyte injury models or glomeruli in CKD patients were downloaded from the GEO database.

Necessity of high temperature for the dormancy release of Narcissus tazetta var. chinensis.

Winter dormancy has been extensively studied in many plants, while much less information is available for summer dormancy. Narcissus tazetta var. chinensis is characterized by a prolonged period of summer dormancy during the annual cycle.

AKINbeta1 is involved in the regulation of nitrogen metabolism and sugar signaling in Arabidopsis.

Sucrose non-fermenting-1-related protein kinase 1 (SnRK1) has been located at the heart of the control of metabolism and development in plants. The active SnRK1 form is usually a heterotrimeric complex. Subcellular localization and specific target of the SnRK1 kinase are regulated by specific beta subunits.

[The screening of interaction factors with BoCAL and BoAP1 related to curd formation].

CAL (CAULIFLOWER) gene and AP1 (APETALA1) gene, which both belong to MADS-box transcription factors, are involved in the development of flower apical meristem. In A rabidopsis thaliana, loss of CAL and AP1 function at the same time leads to floweral meristems proliferation indeterminately, and the plants display the cauliflower phenotype. But in cauliflower (Brasscia oleracea L.
