Cold stress is the limiting factor of rice growth and production, and it is important to clone cold stress tolerant genes and cultivate cold tolerance rice varieties. The MADS transcription factors play an important role in abiotic stress signaling in rice. This study showed that OsMADS25 was up-regulated by low temperature and abscisic acid (ABA), suggesting that OsMADS25 may be involved in ABA-dependent signaling. The OsMADS25 overexpression vector, pCambia1300-221-OsMADS25-Flag, was constructed and introduced into the rice variety Zhonghua 11 (ZH11) through Agrobacterium tumefacian-mediated genetic transformation. Two homozygous lines with high expression levels were selected for phenotypic identification. OsMADS25 overexpression lines show significantly improved cold stress tolerance and the sensitivity to ABA at the seedling stage of rice. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected by diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) staining. After treatment with cold stress, little ROS accumulation was observed in OsMADS25 overexpression lines compared to wild-type ZH11. In conclusion, OsMADS25 plays a role in scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and could improve rice tolerance to cold stress involved in ABA-dependent pathway.

The term Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is used to describe complex symptoms related to vascular compromise, which are typically exacerbated by cold-induced vasoconstriction, emotional stress, or other sympathomimetic factors. In almost all patients with limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (SSc), the first symptom is RP, often two to five years before any other symptom of scleroderma. The clinical course and severity of this disease are variable and highly fatal in some individuals, which has led to the development of strategies for timely diagnosis; hence, criteria for the very early diagnosis of systemic sclerosis have been established.

Labour productivity, particularly in high-stress sectors like healthcare, is a crucial area of research due to its impact on human lives. The largest volume of health services is undoubtedly provided by public hospitals. In public hospitals, the percentage of the development of hospitals and doctors, and thus the country, constitutes a significant part of the workforce.

The changing climate could expand northwards in Europe the autumn sowing of cool-season grain legumes to take advantage of milder winters and to escape the increasing risk of terminal drought. Greater frost tolerance is a key breeding target because sudden frosts following mild-temperature periods may produce high winter mortality of insufficiently acclimated plants. The increasing year-to-year climate variation hinders the field-based selection for frost tolerance.

During the extraction of membrane proteins from oil bodies (OBs), organic solvents dissolve the lipid core and precipitate proteins through solvent stress. Here the effects of solvent type and defatting sequence on the composition and structure of membrane proteins were investigated SDS-PAGE, FTIR, and SEM-EDS. High purity oleosin (86 %) was obtained by treatment first with a Floch solution and then with cold acetone and petroleum ether after twice washing OBs with urea.

While flavonoid accumulation, light radiation, and cold stress are intrinsically connected in tea plants, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The circadian protein CCA1 and CCA1-like MYB transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in coordinating light and temperature signals in plant-environment interactions, their homologs in tea plants have not been addressed. Here we analyzed CsCCA1-like MYB family in tea genome and found one member, a circadian gene CsMYB128 responding to cold stress.
