Colonization of Serendipita indica enhances resistance against Phoma arachidicola in Arachis hypogaea L.

The endophytic fungus Serendipita indica (Si) could suppress Phoma arachidicola (Pa) and control peanut web blotch disease. The study evaluated its growth-promoting and disease-resistant effects in two peanut cultivars, Luhua11 and Baisha1016. In vitro experiments and microscopy analysis demonstrated that S.

Peanut-Colonized Piriformospora indica Enhanced Drought Tolerance by Modulating the Enzymes and Expression of Drought-Related Genes.

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important cash and oil seed crop, mostly distributed in arid and semi-arid areas. In recent years, due to the influence of atmospheric circulation anomalies and other factors, drought has become frequent and increasingly serious in China.

Metformin improves nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in db/db mice by inhibiting ferroptosis.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the primary complication of type 2 diabetes (T2DM)-related liver disease, lacking effective treatment options. Metformin (Met), a widely prescribed anti-hyperglycemic medication, has been found to protect against NAFLD. Ferroptosis, a newly discovered form of cell death, is associated with the development of NAFLD.

Effects of microbial agent and microbial fertilizer input on soil microbial community structure and diversity in a peanut continuous cropping system.

Introduction: The soil harbors a diverse array of microorganisms, and these are essential components of terrestrial ecosystems. The presence of microorganisms in the soil, particularly in the rhizosphere, is closely linked to plant growth and soil fertility.

Objective: The primary objective of this study is to assess the potential advantages of integrating microbial inoculants with compound fertilizer in enhancing peanut yield.

Adipocyte-derived extracellular vesicles: bridging the communications between obesity and tumor microenvironment.

By the year 2035 more than 4 billion people might be affected by obesity and being overweight. Adipocyte-derived Extracellular Vesicles (ADEVs/ADEV-singular) are essential for communication between the tumor microenvironment (TME) and obesity, emerging as a prominent mechanism of tumor progression. Adipose tissue (AT) becomes hypertrophic and hyperplastic in an obese state resulting in insulin resistance in the body.

Bowl Inversion in an Exo-type Supramolecule in the Solid State.

Bowl inversion is a unique property of buckybowls. The polarity and assembly configuration of buckybowls are reversed after bowl inversion. So far, this unique phenomenon has been studied in solution and on surface, but not in solid state due to spatial constraint.
