Article Synopsis
  • Researchers investigated how DNA methylation affects gene expression in two potato varieties under drought stress, comparing a drought-tolerant variety (Qingshu 9) and a drought-sensitive variety (Atlantic).
  • The study revealed significant differences in gene expression patterns, particularly in response to mannitol and a DNA methylation inhibitor, with Qingshu 9 showing a more sensitive reaction.
  • The findings suggest that greater complexity in DNA methylation in the drought-tolerant variety contributes to its better drought resistance compared to the sensitive variety.

Achieving smoke-free healthcare facilities remains a great challenge in countries with a high smoking prevalence and weak regulation. Assessment of the impact of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and its constituent PM on the air quality in Chinese hospitals has not been reported. In this study, we conducted air quality surveys by measuring real-time PM concentrations with Dylos Air Quality Monitors in five tertiary hospitals in Shantou, China during summer (July-August 2016) and winter (November-February 2017).
