The technique of promoter trapping was developed to investigate its viability in cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) functional genomics. 141 independent transformants of cotton were generated via Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation, of which 97% showed positive by PCR detection. The reporter, GUS gene, was expressed to different extent in different organs, with a frequency of 48% in roots, 9.2% in vascular bundles of stem, 5.2% in leaves, and 51% in flowers. Meanwhile, we discovered that there existed great differences in expression patterns among different transgenic lines. Their GUS expression patterns were organ- or tissue-specific or ubiquitous in all of the plants. The promoter trapping system developed here was characterized as an effective method for creating mutants with diverse reporter gene expression patterns, which laid a solid foundation for further research of functional genomics in cotton.

This investigation explored the hepatoprotective capabilities of Bruceine A (BA) and its underlying mechanisms in mitigating hepatic fibrosis. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and mouse primary hepatocytes were treated with TGF-β and subsequently exposed to BA. To assess the effects of BA on the NR2F2-HMGB1 signaling cascade, these cells underwent transfection with a siRNA vector targeting NR2F2.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are promising promoters in venous thromboembolism (VTE). In the present study, we have investigated the potential thrombogenic role of NETs in colorectal cancer (CRC). A total of 583 patients with gastrointestinal malignancies who were diagnosed with or without VTE by extremities arteriovenous ultrasound and computed tomography were enrolled.

Sugarcane smut caused by represents the most destructive disease in the sugarcane industry, causing host hormone disruption and producing a black whip-like sorus in the apex of the stalk. In this study, the gibberellin metabolic pathway was found to respond to infection, and the contents of bioactive gibberellins were significantly reduced in the leaves of diseased plants. The gibberellin receptor gene was identified and significantly downregulated.

The development of biodegradable polymers is crucial for addressing environmental issues and waste management challenges, and a medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate(MCL-PHA) exhibits significant application potential in diverse industrial and environmental contexts owing to its versatility and biodegradability. Here, Pseudomonas putida was metabolically engineered to produce MCL-PHA from crude glycerol. To increase the precursor pool, we first deleted the phaC1ZC2 operon and introduced a plasmid-based overexpression of phaC2 and phaG, and the MCL-PHA content derived from glycerol increased to 18.
