The B-box transcription factor BnBBX22.A07 enhances salt stress tolerance by indirectly activating BnWRKY33.C03.

Salt stress has a detrimental impact on both plant growth and global crop yields. B-box proteins have emerged as pivotal players in plant growth and development regulation. Although the precise role of B-box proteins orchestrating salt stress responses in B.

Identification of Alkaline Salt Tolerance Genes in L. by Transcriptome Analysis.

Soil salt alkalization is one major abiotic factor reducing the productivity of crops, including rapeseed, an indispensable oil crop and vegetable. The mechanism studies of alkali salt tolerance can help breed highly resistant varieties. In the current study, rapeseed () line 2205 exhibited more tolerance to alkaline salt than line 1423 did.

Effects of humic acid on the interactions between zinc oxide nanoparticles and bacterial biofilms.

The effects of humic acid (HA) on interactions between ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and Pseudomonas putida KT2440 biofilms at different maturity stages were investigated. Three stages of biofilm development were identified according to bacterial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) activity associated with biofilm development process. In the initial biofilm stage 1, the ATP content of bacteria was reduced by more than 90% when biofilms were exposed to ZnO NPs.

A lectin-based isolation/enrichment strategy for improved coverage of N-glycan analysis.

Glycomics provides an increasingly useful research tool as the genomes and proteomes of more and more animal species are elucidated. In view of the general complexity and heterogeneity of glycans, improved depth-of-coverage and sensitivity are required for glycosylation analysis. In this study, we established the lectin-based isolation/enrichment strategy for total glycomic information.
