- * In a study, various concentrations of three forms of selenium were sprayed on RR, resulting in increased selenium content in both the rice grain and straw, along with improved photosynthetic and antioxidant enzyme activity.
- * Sodium selenite and Se-Met were found to enhance grain quality by increasing resistant starch and amylose content, as well as improving gelatinization; findings suggest foliar biofortification may boost the nutritional value of RR.
Obligate biotrophic powdery mildew fungi infect a wide range of economically important plants. These fungi often deliver effector proteins into the host tissues to suppress plant immunity and sustain infection. The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) is one of the most important signals that activate plant immunity against pathogens.

- Rice grown in cadmium-contaminated soil poses health risks, but applying selenium can help reduce Cd toxicity in rice plants.
- An experiment was conducted on two rice varieties, 'Taoyouxiangzhan' (TX) and 'Liangyou 6326' (LY), applying sodium selenite at different growth stages to assess its effects on Cd accumulation.
- Results showed that selenium treatments significantly decreased Cd levels in both leaves and grains, with the TX variety responding better to the treatments than LY, particularly with foliar spraying at the seedling stage.
Background: The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is closely associated with the onset of diabetes, with obesity being a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the association between the AIP and T2DM in overweight and obese populations has been infrequently studied. Therefore, this study aimed to explore this association in overweight and obese individuals with T2DM.

The Ni-MOF precursor was prepared using benzene diacid, triethylenediamine, and nickel sulfate as raw materials. NiP was introduced into the Ni-MOF precursor during its preparation while maintaining the synthesis conditions, allowing for the adsorption of NiP nanoparticles during Ni-MOF synthesis to produce NiP@MOF composite materials.

The transcriptional activity of Pol I controls the level of ribosome biogenesis and cell growth. However, there is currently a lack of methods for monitoring Pol I activity in real time.
