Resistance traits of plants can be activated both at the damaged site and undamaged parts. Systemic resistance induced by local exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) application alleviated negative effect of low water availability on growth performance of clonal plant. However, timing of systemic resistance was poorly understood. Timing of systemic resistance refers to its activation and decay time within clonal network. Clonal fragment of with four successive ramets (including first-oldest, second-older, third-old and fourth-young ramets) subjected to low water availability (20% soil moisture content) was used to explore effects of local exogenous ABA application on the timing of resistance activation and decay. Systemic resistance activated by local exogenous ABA application after 4 days remained at least 28 days. Compared with control, biomass accumulation of whole clonal fragment, root biomass and ratio of belowground to aboveground biomass significantly increased by local exogenous ABA application after 28 days. It is suggested that rapid activation and delay of resistance response induced by local exogenous ABA application within clonal network may improve fitness of clonal plant subjected to abiotic stress.

Mutations in the gene cause the most common form of human hereditary hearing loss, known as DFNB1. is expressed in two cell groups of the cochlea-epithelial cells of the organ of Corti and fibrocytes of the inner sulcus and lateral wall-but not by sensory hair cells or neurons. Attempts to treat mouse models of DFNB1 with AAV vectors mediating nonspecific expression have not substantially restored function, perhaps because inappropriate expression in hair cells and neurons could compromise their electrical activity.

Stylo (Stylosanthes guianensis) is a tropical legume that exhibits considerable tolerance to manganese (Mn) toxicity, which severely constrains plant growth in acidic soils. To elucidate the Mn detoxification mechanisms in stylo, this study investigated the excess Mn-regulated metabolic profile of stylo roots and examined the role of metabolic enzymes in Mn tolerance. Excess Mn triggered oxidative stress in the two stylo genotypes tested.

Background: Ischemic stroke (IS) is an important disease causing death and disability worldwide, and further investigation of IS-related genes through genome-wide association study (GWAS) data is valuable.
Methods: The study included GWAS data from 62,100 IS patients of European origin and 1,234,808 controls in a cross-tissue transcriptome association study (TWAS). A joint analysis was first performed by the Unified Test for Molecular Markers (UTMOST) and FUSION methods.

Cold stress is one of the most serious abiotic stresses that affects the growth and yield in rice. However, the molecular mechanism by which abscisic acid (ABA) regulates plant cold stress tolerance is not yet clear. In this study, we identified a member of the OsNCED (9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase) gene family, OsNCED5, which confers cold stress tolerance in rice.
