To gain an enhanced understanding of the mechanism by which gibberellins (GAs) regulate the growth and development of plants, it is necessary to identify proteins regulated by GA. Proteome analysis techniques have been applied as a direct, effective, and reliable tool in differential protein expressions. In previous studies, sixteen proteins showed differences in accumulation levels as a result of treatment with GA(3), uniconazole, or abscisic acid (ABA), and/or the differences between the GA-deficient semi-dwarf mutant, Tan-ginbozu, and normal cultivars. Among these proteins, aldolase increased in roots treated with GA(3), was present at low levels in Tan-ginbozu roots, and decreased in roots treated with uniconazole or ABA. In a root elongation assay, the growth of aldolase-antisense transgenic rice was half of that of vector control transgenic rice. These results indicate that increases in aldolase activity stimulate the glycolytic pathway and may play an important role in the GA-induced growth of roots. In this review, we discuss the relationship among GA, aldolase, and root growth.

Background: In this study, we present an in-depth analysis of the Eurasian minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus) genome, highlighting its genetic diversity, structural variations, and evolutionary adaptations. We generated an annotated haplotype-phased, chromosome-level genome assembly (2n = 50) by integrating high-fidelity (HiFi) long reads and chromosome conformation capture data (Hi-C).
Results: We achieved a haploid size of 940 megabase pairs (Mbp) for haplome 1 and 929 Mbp for haplome 2 with high scaffold N50 values of 36.

Spondyloarthritis is a prevalent and persistent condition that significantly impacts the quality of life. Its intricate pathological mechanisms have led to a scarcity of animal models capable of replicating the disease progression in humans, making it a prominent area of research interest in the field. To delve into the pathological and physiological traits of spontaneous non-human primate spondyloarthritis, this study meticulously examined the disease features of this natural disease model through an array of techniques including X-ray imaging, MRI imaging, blood biochemistry, markers of bone metabolism, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of different manipulation methods and storage environments on the microstructural, chemical, and mechanical properties of calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement. Four sample groups were examined, including nondried (ND-I) and dried (D-I) groups placed directly in an incubator, dried samples stored in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (D-P), and dried samples stored in distilled water (D-W). Various analyses, including Vickers microhardness, compressive strength, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were conducted after incubating the samples for 7 days.

Single-cell protein analysis has emerged as a powerful tool for understanding cellular heterogeneity and deciphering the complex mechanisms governing cellular function and fate. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the latest methodologies, including sophisticated cell isolation techniques (Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS), Magnetic-Activated Cell Sorting (MACS), Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM), manual cell picking, and microfluidics) and advanced approaches for protein profiling and protein-protein interaction analysis. The unique strengths, limitations, and opportunities of each method are discussed, along with their contributions to unraveling gene regulatory networks, cellular states, and disease mechanisms.
