Identification of the Xyloglucan Endotransglycosylase/Hydrolase () Gene Family Members Expressed in in Response to Cadmium Stress.

Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase (XTH) genes play an important role in plant resistance to abiotic stress. However, systematic studies of the response of (ramie) genes () to cadmium (Cd) stress are lacking. We sought to identify the -family genes in ramie through bioinformatics analyses and to investigate their responses to Cd stress.

The Role of Hemicellulose in Cadmium Tolerance in Ramie ( (L.) Gaud.).

Ramie cell walls play an important role in cadmium (Cd) detoxification. However, the Cd binding capacity of the cell wall components and the cell wall compositions among ramie species remains unclear. Therefore, this study compared two ramie populations ('Dazhuhuangbaima' (low-Cd-accumulating population) and 'Zhongzhu 1' (high-Cd-accumulating population)) with different Cd enrichment characteristics.

Relationship of DNA aneuploidy with distinctive features of oral potentially malignant disorders: A cytological analysis of 748 cases.

Our previous study reported that clinical features, including the lateral/ventral tongue and non-homogeneous lesions, were associated with increased risk of malignant changes in cytological samples from oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs). This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the frequency and risk of DNA aneuploidy in the series of 748 patients with OPMD. The cut-off value of aneuploidy was defined as DNA index ≥3.
