Porphyridium purpureum is a rich source for producing phycoerythrin (PE); however, the PE content is greatly affected by culture conditions. Researchers have aimed to optimize the cultivation of P. purpureum for accumulation of PE. When traditional optimized culture conditions were used to cultivate P. purpureum, high PE contents were not usually achieved. In this study, an induced cultivation pattern was applied to P. purpureum for PE biosynthesis (i.e., an incremental approach by altering temperatures, light intensities, and nitrate concentrations). Results revealed that the induced pattern greatly improved the PE biosynthesis. The optimized PE content of 229 mg/L was achieved on the 12th cultivation day, which was a maximum PE content within one cultivation period and accounted for approximately 3.05% of the dry biomass. The induced cultivation pattern was highly suitable for PE synthesis in P. purpureum, which provided an important reference value to the large-scale production of PE.
Background: Abnormal expression of six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate 4 (STEAP4) has been implicated in the carcinogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the biological role and regulatory mechanisms of STEAP4 in HCC remain unclear.
Methods And Results: Here, we analyzed STEAP4 expression levels and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between STEAP4 high- and low-expression groups using multiple databases.

Background: Hericium coralloides is a traditional edible and medicinal mushroom. Light is a key factor in forming fruiting bodies of fungi; however, the effects of different light on the yield and morphogenesis of H. coralloides are still unknown.
In recent years, the fall armyworm, has rapidly emerged as a global invasive pest, challenging the maize production and leading to considerable economic losses. Developing resistant hybrids is essential for sustainable maize cultivation, which requires a comprehensive understanding of resistance traits and the underlying mechanisms in parental lines. To address this need, the present study aimed to identify the sources of resistance, age and stage-specific effects and role of phytochemicals in plant defense against in thirty diverse maize parental lines [17 female (A) and 13 male (R) lines].
Objective: Energy homeostasis is modulated by the hypothalamic is essential for obesity progression, however, the gene expression profiling remains to be fully understood.
Methods: GEO datasets were downloaded from the GEO website and analyzed by the R packages to obtain the DEGs. And, the WGCNA analysis and PPI networks of co-expressed DEGs were designed using STRING to get key genes.
