Rice blast disease, caused by , poses the most devastating threat to global rice production. The products of most blast resistance () genes specifically recognize corresponding a virulence effectors from the pathogen, thereby mediating robust immune responses that are crucial for disease resistance. However, it is unclear why different genes endow with differential amplitudes of immunity against . . Here, we demonstrated that different blast genes confer differential amplitudes of immunity against . , presumably due to divergent reprogramming of transcriptional responses. We detected that three rice restorer lines exhibited differential amplitudes of immune responses, despite all lines displaying resistance to . . Consistently, different accessions carrying different single genes exhibited remarkable differentially expressed genes (DEGs) count, indicating different transcriptional re-programming that leads to different fitness cost. Comparative analysis revealed varying degrees of overlap among DEGs across different accessions. By integrating RNA-seq and RT-qPCR data, we recommended some marker genes that distinguish the differential amplitude of immunity against . mediated by different blast genes. Thus, our study provides valuable insights into the specific and overlapping roles of gene-mediated immunity. We also propose marker genes that can be used to effectively evaluate the amplitude of immune responses to . , thereby facilitating the assessment of genes with relatively lower amplitude of immunity in order to minimize fitness cost.

Nerve signal conduction, and particularly in myelinated nerve fibers, is a highly dynamic phenomenon that is affected by various biological and physical factors. The propagation of such moving electric signals may seemingly help elucidate the mechanisms underlying normal and abnormal functioning. This work aims to derive the exact physical wave solutions of the nonlinear partial differential equations with fractional beta-derivatives for the cases of transmission of nerve impulses in coupled nerves.

Background: A consensus regarding the optimal time to administer anti-hypertensive medications has not been reached. Possible differential effects of different anti-hypertensive drugs on the circadian pattern of blood pressure (BP) and differential responses of individual patients receiving the same treatment at different times of the day may partly account for the controversy.
Methods: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) data available at 30-minute intervals for 7 days from previous studies are reanalyzed to compare the effect of five drugs (amlodipine, atenolol, captopril retard, long-acting carteolol, and nilvadipine) taken 1.

Background: Previous studies have documented abnormal functional changes in the visual pathways and gray matter regions related to vision in Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) patients. However, the extent of alterations in the functional and structural characteristics of white matter (WM) in these patients remains insufficiently understood.
Methods: In this study, we employed functional clustering networks and TractSeg methodologies to investigate the alterations in WM function and structure among patients with RRD.

Diverse plant species detect bacterial flagellin using leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases (LRR RLKs) to activate defense responses and promote resistance against bacterial invasion. In barley, the impact of flagellin on inducible defense responses has not been fully described. Here, we report that the flagellin-derived flg22 peptide induces callose, ROS bursts and differential expression of 2603 genes in barley.
