We have studied the problem whether the phytochrome-mediated accumulation of ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase ("carboxylase"; EC 4.1.1.39) in the cotyledons of sinapis alba L. is related to size, ultrastructure, or organization of the plastid compartment. We have shown that under different light conditions (e.g. continuous far-red light, continuous white light) which lead to conspicuously different plastids the time course of the enzyme levels remains precisely the same. It is concluded that the onset and the rate of carboxylase accumulation is not related to the organizational state of the plastid compartment as discernible under the electron microscope.

Objective: To investigating the microbial communities and physicochemical properties of soil and distribution of snails in marshlands along the Yangtze River basin at different types of land use, and to examine the effects of soil microorganisms and physicochemical properties on snail distribution, so as to provide insights into snail control and schistosomiasis prevention in marshland along the Yangtze River basin.
Methods: Marshlands with four types of land use were selected along the Yangtze River basin on April 2021, including poplar forest-crops integrated planting, reed areas, agricultural cultivation lands and ditches. The distribution of snails and physicochemical properties of soil were investigated in marshlands with different types of land use, and the V3 to V4 regions of the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA () gene, fungal internal transcribed spacer-1 () gene and algal ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase () gene in soils were subjected to high-throughput sequencing.

Nepentheceae, the most prominent carnivorous family in the Caryophyllales order, comprises the genus, which has modified leaf trap characteristics. Although most species have unique morphologies, their vegetative stages are identical, making identification based on morphology difficult. DNA barcoding is seen as a potential tool for plant identification, with small DNA segments amplified for species identification.

Human-elephant conflict (HEC) contributes to the increasing death of Asian elephants due to road accidents, retaliatory killings and fatal infections from being trapped in snares. Understanding the diet of elephants throughout Peninsular Malaysia remains crucial to improve their habitat quality and reduce scenarios of HEC. DNA metabarcoding allows investigating the diet of animals without direct observation, especially in risky conflict areas.

Microbially mediated Fe(II) oxidation is prevalent and thought to be central to many biogeochemical processes in paddy soils. However, we have limited insights into the Fe(II) oxidation process in paddy fields, considered the world's largest engineered wetland, where microoxic conditions are ubiquitous. In this study, microaerophilic Fe(II) oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) from paddy soil were enriched in gradient tubes with FeS, FeCO, and Fe(PO) as iron sources to investigate their capacity for Fe(II) oxidation and carbon assimilation.

Plant diseases pose a significant threat to global food security. Molecular diagnosis currently plays a crucial role in mitigating the negative impacts of plant diseases by accurately identifying the disease-causing pathogens and revealing their genotypes. However, current molecular assays are constrained to the laboratory because of the cumbersome protocols involved in plant nucleic acid extraction.
