Localization of potato browning resistance genes based on BSA-seq technology.

Browning is a common problem that occurs during potato processing; it is typically resolved by adding chemicals during the production process. However, there is a need to develop potato varieties that are resistant to browning due to a growing consumer interest in healthier diets. This study initially identified 275 potato varieties that are resistant to browning; these were narrowed down to eight varieties, with four of them being highly resistant.

The 26S Proteasome Regulatory Subunit GmPSMD Promotes Resistance to in Soybean.

Phytophthora root rot, caused by is a destructive disease of soybean () worldwide. We previously confirmed that the bHLH transcription factor GmPIB1 (-inducible bHLH transcription factor) reduces accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells by inhibiting expression of the peroxidase-related gene thus improving the resistance of hairy roots to . To identify proteins interacting with GmPIB1 and assess their participation in the defense response to , we obtained transgenic soybean hairy roots overexpressing GmPIB1 by mediated transformation and examined GmPIB1 protein-protein interactions using immunoprecipitation combined with mass spectrometry.

Improvement of Image Sticking in Liquid Crystal Display Doped with γ-Fe₂O₃ Nanoparticles.

Image sticking in thin film transistor-liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCD) is related to the dielectric property of liquid crystal (LC) material. Low threshold value TFT LC materials have a weak stability and the free ions in them will be increased because of their own decomposition. In this study, the property of TFT LC material MAT-09-1284 doped with γ-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles was investigated.
