AI Article Synopsis

  • Waterlogging stress harms plant growth, but Zanthoxylum armatum's tolerance to it is not well understood.
  • A specific gene, alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (ZaADH1), plays a key role in helping this tree species manage waterlogging by influencing various metabolites.
  • Overexpressing ZaADH1 in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana enhanced growth and resistance to waterlogging by boosting carbohydrate production, suggesting strategies for improving waterlogging tolerance in Z. armatum.

Article Abstract

Waterlogging stress negatively affects plant growth and survival. However, the ability of Zanthoxylum armatum, a valuable tree species, to tolerate and adapt to waterlogging stress remains poorly understood. Here we report how alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (ZaADH1) confers waterlogging stress tolerance in Z. armatum. ZaADH1 expression was induced after waterlogging treatment. ZaADH1 overexpression increased waterlogging stress by modulating the metabolite levels of the ADH enzyme, soluble sugar, and trehalose, promoting glycolysis and carbohydrate metabolism. The overexpression of ZaADH1 in Arabidopsis thaliana increased the total plant area and chlorophyll content, thereby increasing resistance to waterlogging stress. Physiological and overexpression transcriptome analyses in A. thaliana indicated that ZaADH1 overexpressing lines generated more carbohydrates to meet energy demands, employing a "static" strategy to increase tolerance to waterlogging stress, which confirms the conservation of the ADH1 response to waterlogging stress and represents a potential crucial measure for improving waterlogging tolerance in Z. armatum.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of the G-Protein Gene Family in Barley Under Abiotic Stresses.

Heterotrimeric G-proteins are fundamental signal transducers highly conserved in plant species, which play crucial roles in regulating plant growth, development, and responses to abiotic stresses. Identification of G-protein members and their expression patterns in plants are essential for improving crop resilience against environmental stresses. Here, we identified eight heterotrimeric G-protein genes localized on four chromosomes within the barley genome by using comprehensive genome-wide analysis.

Evaluation of Ocular and Systemic Oxidative Stress Markers in Patients with Diabetic Retinopathy.

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is the most severe complication of chronic hyperglycaemi stimulates oxidative stress that changes the retinal basement membrane function and provokes neovascularization, macular edema and retinal detachment. But an oxidative-antioxidant biomarker assessment in ocular matrices, such as aqueous humor (AH) and vitreous, might show the oxidative stress (OS) status in the posterior segment. Here, we show a cross-sectional analytical study of 39 patients who had a vitrectomy and assess the levels of different oxidative-antioxidant biomarkers in blood, aqueous and vitreous humor in three groups: diabetes mellitus 2 (DM2) with PDR [DM(+)PDR(+)] ( =13), DM2 without PDR [DM(+)PDR(-)] ( = 13) and non-DM2 non-PDR [DM(-)PDR(-)] as the control group ( = 13).

The recovery process following ischemic stroke is a complex undertaking involving intricate cellular and molecular interactions. Cellular dysfunction or aberrant pathways can lead to complications such as brain edema, hemorrhagic transformation, and glial scar hyperplasia, hindering angiogenesis and nerve regeneration. These abnormalities may contribute to long-term disability post-stroke, imposing significant burdens on both families and society.
