Comparative analysis of physical traits, mineral compositions, antioxidant contents, and metabolite profiles in five cherry tomato cultivars.

Cherry tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) are cultivated and consumed worldwide. While numerous cultivars have been bred to enhance fruit quality, few studies have comprehensively evaluated the fruit quality of cherry tomato cultivars.

Identification and validation of a dysregulated TME-related gene signature for predicting prognosis, and immunological properties in bladder cancer.

Background: During tumor growth, tumor cells interact with their tumor microenvironment (TME) resulting in the development of heterogeneous tumors that promote tumor occurrence and progression. Recently, there has been extensive attention on TME as a possible therapeutic target for cancers. However, an accurate TME-related prediction model is urgently needed to aid in the assessment of patients' prognoses and therapeutic value, and to assist in clinical decision-making.

ROS-mediated waterlogging memory, induced by priming, mitigates photosynthesis inhibition in tomato under waterlogging stress.

With global climate change, the frequency and intensity of waterlogging events are increasing due to frequent and heavy precipitation. Little is known however about the response of plants to repeated waterlogging stress events. The aim is to clarify physiological regulation mechanisms of tomato plants under repeated waterlogging stress, and whether can alleviate waterlogging injury.

Differences in Physiological Responses of Two Tomato Genotypes to Combined Waterlogging and Cadmium Stresses.

Waterlogging and heavy mental (e.g., cadmium) stress are two primary threats to crop growth.

Transcriptomic Profiling of Tomato Leaves Identifies Novel Transcription Factors Responding to Dehydration Stress.

Drought is among the most challenging environmental restrictions to tomatoes (Solanum lycopersi-cum), which causes dehydration of the tissues and results in massive loss of yield. Breeding for dehydration-tolerant tomatoes is a pressing issue as a result of global climate change that leads to increased duration and frequency of droughts. However, the key genes involved in dehydration response and tolerance in tomato are not widely known, and genes that can be targeted for dehydration-tolerant tomato breeding remains to be discovered.

Long noncoding RNAs, ENST00000598996 and ENST00000524265, are correlated with favorable prognosis and act as potential tumor suppressors in bladder cancer.

Bladder cancer (BC) is a serious malignancy worldwide due to its distant metastasis and high recurrence rates. Increasing evidence has indicated that dysregulated long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in tumorigenesis and progression in multiple malignancies. However, their clinical significances, biological functions and molecular mechanisms in BC remain poorly understood.

Laparoscopic treatment of a huge seminal vesicle calculus: A case report and review of literature.

A 67-year-old male patient had a history of repeated urinary tract infections for numerous years. X-ray examination revealed a large calcific density in the pelvic cavity, with a diameter of 10.4 cm and a CT value of ~792.

Application of Whole Genome Resequencing in Mapping of a Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus Resistance Gene.

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) has significantly impacted the tomato industry around the world, and the use of insecticides and insect nets have not effectively controlled the spread of this pathogen. The tomato line AVTO1227 is highly resistant to TYLCV. In this study, F and BC populations derived from AVTO1227 and the susceptible line Money maker were used to assess the genetic mechanism underlying TYLCV resistance.

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the BTB domain-containing protein gene family in tomato.

BTB (broad-complex, tramtrack, and bric-a-brac) family proteins are characterized by the presence of a protein-protein interaction BTB domain. BTB proteins have diverse functions, including transcriptional regulation, protein degradation, chromatin remodeling, and cytoskeletal regulation. However, little is known about this gene family in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), the most important model plant for crop species.

Physiological response of tomatoes at drought, heat and their combination followed by recovery.

In nature, crops encounter a combination of abiotic stresses that severely limit yield. Our aim was to dynamically expose the changes of tomatoes' physiological parameters to drought, heat and their combination and thereby clarify the relationship between the responses to single and combined stress. We studied the effect of single and combined drought and heat stresses on the shoot and root of two tomato cultivars (Sufen No.

Preoperative hemoglobin-platelet ratio can significantly predict progression and mortality outcomes in patients with T1G3 bladder cancer undergoing transurethral resection of bladder tumor.

Objective: To investigate the prognostic role of hematological biomarkers, especially hemoglobin-platelet ratio (HPR) in the oncological outcomes in stage 1 and grade 3 (T1G3) bladder cancer.

Materials And Methods: We identified 457 T1G3 bladder cancer patients who underwent transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) between 2009 and 2014. Based on hematological parameters (hemoglobin-platelet ratio (HPR), hemoglobin, and platelet counts), recurrence-free survival (RFS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were analyzed by using Kaplan-Meier analysis.

Genome-wide identification of circRNAs involved in tomato fruit coloration.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are an emerging class of non-coding RNAs in plants. Our aim is to identify the circRNAs with different expression levels between tomato fruits from two cultivars ('Jinling Fenyu' and 'Jinling Moyu') at two different developmental stages. Following high-throughput sequencing, 3796 circRNAs were identified, and 243 circRNAs were shared in the four samples.

Expression of circular RNA circASXL1 correlates with TNM classification and predicts overall survival in bladder cancer.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) as a family of non-coding RNAs are increasingly recognized regarding their biogenesis, regulatory roles in gene expression and clinic significance in developmental diseases and cancers. In this study, we aim to identify circRNAs that may be associated with clinicopathological characteristics of patients with bladder cancer. The circRNAs databases CircBase and circ2 Traits were used to seek circRNAs reported to bladder cancer.

Drought stress had a predominant effect over heat stress on three tomato cultivars subjected to combined stress.

Background: Abiotic stresses due to environmental factors could adversely affect the growth and development of crops. Among the abiotic stresses, drought and heat stress are two critical threats to crop growth and sustainable agriculture worldwide. Considering global climate change, incidence of combined drought and heat stress is likely to increase.
