Anthocyanidin reductase (ANR) is an important regulator of flavonoid metabolism, and proanthocyanidins, the secondary metabolites of flavonoids, play an important role in the response of plants to pathogenic stress. Therefore, in this study, the expression analysis of the ANR gene family of after inoculation with f. sp.

Results: Our study was conducted based on the DUF668 gene family identified from cotton genome sequencing.
Background: Conflicting results identifying the association between Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) polymorphism, Val66Met, and cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD) have been reported.
Methods And Results: To clarify whether Val66Met is related to cognitive impairment in PD, we carried out this meta-analysis by searching literature from PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases regarding this polymorphism. Six eligible studies involving 1467 PD patients were included in this meta-analysis.
