PgMYB1 Positively Regulates Anthocyanin Accumulation by Activating in Pomegranate.

The peel color of pomegranates is an important exterior quality that determines market value. Anthocyanins are biosynthesized in the cytosol and then transported to the vacuole for storage. However, the molecular mechanism that determines the color variation between red and white pomegranates remains unclear.

Comprehensive analysis of cucumber family genes and functional characterization of in salt and ABA tolerance in cucumber.

The RAV (related to ABI3 and VP1) transcription factors are specific and exist in plants, which contain a B3 DNA binding domain and/or an APETALA2 (AP2) DNA binding domain. have been extensively studied in plants, and more and more evidences show that are involved in various aspects of plant growth and development, stress resistance and hormone signal transduction. However, the systematic analysis of family in cucumber is rarely reported.

MdFLP enhances drought tolerance by regulating MdNAC019 in self-rooted apple stocks.

Self-rooted apple stocks are widely used for the production of apples worldwide. However, self-rooted apple stocks are weak due to shallow roots and poor grounding, resulting in poor drought resistance. Therefore, it is essential to understand the molecular mechanisms to develop self-rooted apple stock cultivars with drought resistance.

Transcriptomics and metabolomics analyses identified key genes associated with sugar and acid metabolism in sweet and sour pomegranate cultivars during the developmental period.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum), an important fruit tree in the world, is rich in bioactive substances and has broad prospects for development. In this study, gene expression levels and the concentrations of metabolites involved in the metabolism of soluble sugars and organic acids were investigated in sweet and sour pomegranate cultivars at the S1 (July 25) stage, S2 (August 26) stage, and S3 (September 24) stage. The results showed that glucose, fructose, citric acid, and malic acid were predominantly present in pomegranate.

A Multipopulation Dynamic Adaptive Coevolutionary Strategy for Large-Scale Complex Optimization Problems.

In this paper, a multipopulation dynamic adaptive coevolutionary strategy is proposed for large-scale optimization problems, which can dynamically and adaptively adjust the connection between population particles according to the optimization problem characteristics. Based on analysis of the network evolution characteristics of collaborative search between particles, a dynamic adaptive evolutionary network (DAEN) model with multiple interconnection couplings is established in this algorithm. In the model, the swarm type is divided according to the judgment threshold of particle types, and the dynamic evolution of collaborative topology in the evolutionary process is adaptively completed according to the coupling connection strength between different particle types, which enhances the algorithm's global and local searching capability and optimization accuracy.

Stability study of the compatibility of three chemotherapeutic agents in a mixture solution of different kinds of vehicles in the EPOCH chemotherapy scheme.

Background: To explore the stability of a mixture of three drugs including vindesine, etoposide, and epirubicin, assigned to infusion in an EPOCH chemotherapy regimen and provide a basis for clinical use.

Methods: After mixing the three chemotherapy drugs with 500 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride or 5% glucose injection, respectively, they were divided into four groups of test solution.
