Plant protease inhibitors are a ubiquitous feature of plant species and exert a substantial influence on plant stress responses. However, the (Kunitz trypsin inhibitor) family responding to abiotic stress has not been fully characterized in . In this study, we conducted a genome-wide study of the family and analyzed their gene structure, gene duplication, conserved motifs, cis-acting elements, and response to stress treatment. A total of 29 s were identified in the genome. Based on phylogenetic analysis, the Pys were divided into four groups (1,2, 3, and 4). Promoter sequence analysis showed that the Pys contain many cis-acting elements related to light, plant growth, hormone, and stress responses, indicating that Pys are widely involved in various biological regulatory processes. RNA sequencing and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that genes were differentially expressed under the inverted cutting stress of . Transcriptome analysis of leaves revealed that , , and were highly upregulated after inverted cutting. Through the GEO query of data, genes played a positive defense role in MeJa, drought, time series, and pathogen stress. This study provided comprehensive information for the family in , which should be helpful for the functional characterization of genes in the future.

Children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be more susceptible to early life stress compared to their neurotypical peers. This increased susceptibility may be linked to regionally-specific changes in the striatum and amygdala, brain regions sensitive to stress and critical for shaping maladaptive behavioural responses. This study examined early life stress and its impact on striatal and amygdala development in 62 children and adolescents (35 males, mean age = 10.

Chromatin remodeling plays a crucial role in controlling gene transcription by modifying chromatin structure. However, the involvement of chromatin remodeling in plant stress responses, especially cold tolerance, through chromatin accessibility remains largely unexplored. Here, we report that rice (Oryza sativa L.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of abiotic stress responses in plants is instrumental for the development of climate-resilient crops. Key factors in abiotic stress responses, such as the proton- pumping pyrophosphatase (AVP1), have been identified, but their function and regulation remain elusive. Here, we explored the post-translational regulation of AVP1 by the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBC34 and its relevance in the salt stress and phosphate starvation responses of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).

The mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is the major channel in the mitochondrial outer membrane for metabolites and ions. VDACs also regulate a variety of biological processes, which vary in the number of VDAC isoforms across different eukaryotes. However, little is known about VDAC-mediated biocontrol traits in biocontrol fungi.

The Cullin-3 E3 ligase adaptor protein SPOP targets proteins for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. We previously established the β-cell transcription factor (TF) and human diabetes gene PDX1 as an SPOP substrate, suggesting a functional role for SPOP in the β cell. Here, we generated a β-cell-specific deletion mouse strain ( ) and found that is necessary to prevent aberrant basal insulin secretion and for maintaining glucose-stimulated insulin secretion through impacts on glycolysis and glucose-stimulated calcium flux.
