In acidic soils, high concentrations of aluminum ions (Al) in dissolved form reduce root growth and development of most crops. In addition, Al is also a beneficial element in some plant species in low concentrations. However, the regulatory mechanism of the growth and development of peanut ( L.) treated with different concentrations of Al has been rarely studied. In this study, peanut seedlings were treated with AlCl.18HO in Hoagland nutrient solution at four different concentrations of Al i.e., 0 (pH 6.85), 1.25 (pH 4.03), 2.5 (pH 3.85), and 5 (pH 3.69) mmol/L, which are regarded as Al0, Al1, Al2, and Al3. The results showed that low concentrations of Al treatment (Al1) promoted peanut growth, while high concentrations of Al treatments (Al2 and Al3) significantly inhibited peanut growth. Compared with the control (Al0), transcriptome analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of starch and sucrose metabolic pathways were significantly enriched at low concentrations, i.e., Al1 treatment, whereas the expression of (sugar transporter) was significantly up-regulated, and the soluble sugar content was significantly increased. The DEGs of the plant hormone signaling transduction pathway were significantly enriched at high concentrations of Al2 and Al3 treatments, whereas the expression of (9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase) was significantly up-regulated, and the content of ABA was significantly increased. Moreover, the expression of transcription factors (TFs) in peanut was affected by different concentrations of Al. Overall, low concentrations of Al1 promoted peanut growth by increasing soluble sugar content, while high concentrations of Al2 and Al3 inhibited the growth of peanut, induced gene expression, and increased endogenous ABA content. For peanut, the exposure of Al at low concentrations not only derived an adaptive mechanism to cope with Al stress, but also acted as a stimulator to promote its growth and development.

Background: System calibration is essential for accurate SPECT/CT dosimetry. However, count losses due to dead time and pulse pileup may cause calibration errors, in particular for I, where high count rates may be encountered. Calibration at low count rates should also be avoided to minimise detrimental effects from e.

ConspectusLithium-ion batteries (LIBs) based on graphite anodes are a widely used state-of-the-art battery technology, but their energy density is approaching theoretical limits, prompting interest in lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) that can achieve higher energy density. In addition, the limited availability of lithium reserves raises supply concerns; therefore, research on postlithium metal batteries is underway. A major issue with these metal anodes, including lithium, is dendritic formation and insufficient reversibility, which leads to safety risks due to short circuits and the use of flammable electrolytes.

Background: Gestational exposure to non-persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. While many EDCs affect the endocrine system, their effects on endocrine-related metabolic pathways remain unclear. This study aims to explore the global metabolome changes associated with EDC biomarkers at delivery.

In vertebrates and plants, dsRNA plays crucial roles as PAMP and as a mediator of RNAi. How higher fungi respond to dsRNA is not known. We demonstrate that Magnaporthe oryzae (Mo), a globally significant crop pathogen, internalizes dsRNA across a broad size range of 21 to about 3000 bp.

Environmental pollution caused by heavy metals are problems worldwide. In particular, pollution and poisoning by lead ions (Pb) continue to be common and serious problems. Hence, there is a need for a widely usable method to easily detect Pb from solutions containing organic materials from environmental water such as seas, ponds, etc.
