Phosphatases: Decoding the Role of Mycorrhizal Fungi in Plant Disease Resistance.

Mycorrhizal fungi, a category of fungi that form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, can participate in the induction of plant disease resistance by secreting phosphatase enzymes. While extensive research exists on the mechanisms by which mycorrhizal fungi induce resistance, the specific contributions of phosphatases to these processes require further elucidation. This article reviews the spectrum of mycorrhizal fungi-induced resistance mechanisms and synthesizes a current understanding of how phosphatases mediate these effects, such as the induction of defense structures in plants, the negative regulation of plant immune responses, and the limitation of pathogen invasion and spread.

Social Support and Physical Activity in College and University Students: A Meta-Analysis.

Although physical activity (PA) has a profound impact on health, many college and university students are still physically inactive.

The purpose of this review was to determine the strength of the relationship between SS and PA and examine whether any potential associations differed in terms of age, gender, and region among college and university students.

Improving maize carbon and nitrogen metabolic pathways and yield with nitrogen application rate and nitrogen forms.

Reduced fertilizer efficiency caused by excessive use of nitrogen (N) fertilizer is a major problem in agriculture and a hot topic of research. Most studies have focused on the effect of N application rate on N efficiency, whereas there are limited studies on changing the N form to improve N yield and efficiency. Here, the effects of different N application rates and nitrate-to-ammonium N ratios on post-anthesis carbon (C) and N metabolism and maize yield under shallow-buried drip irrigation were investigated.

A microbial ecosystem enhanced by regulating soil carbon and nitrogen balance using biochar and nitrogen fertiliser five years after application.

The indiscriminate use of nitrogen fertiliser (NF) is a obstruction to improve soil quality and crop yields. However, the effect of biochar and NF on soil microbial ecosystem (SME) and crop yields is unknown. A five-year field experiment in China aimed to evaluate the effects of biochar and nitrogen fertiliser (NF) combination on soil structure, C-to-N ratio (CNR), microbial biomass, and spring maize yield.

Pathogenic invasive microbes transform bacterial and fungal community diversity in crop production system.

A more complex ecological network between the diseased and healthy bodies. Researchers still have poor knowledge about how the important agricultural relationship between the composition of the microbiome of the artificial bed-log and the fruiting bodies is infected by the pathogenic invasive microbes , but this knowledge is crucial if we want to use or improve it.

Research progress on surgical factors related to early urinary control after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Radical resection of prostate cancer is the first choice for the treatment of early localized prostate cancer, but urinary incontinence is prone to occur after the operation, especially early urinary incontinence, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. This article discusses the surgical methods, approaches, and techniques to clarify the effects of surgical-related factors on early postoperative urinary control, in order to provide the best treatment for patients with prostate cancer.

QTL Mapping of Soybean () Vine Growth Habit Trait.

The vine growth habit (VGH) is a notable property of wild soybean plants that also holds a high degree of importance in domestication as it can preclude using these wild cultivars for breeding and improving domesticated soybeans. Here, a bulked segregant analysis (BSA) approach was employed to study the genetic etiology of the VGH in soybean plants by integrating linkage mapping and population sequencing approaches. To develop a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population, the cultivated Zhongdou41 (ZD41) soybean cultivar was bred with ZYD02787, a wild soybean accession.
