Effects of cotton peanut rotation on crop yield soil nutrients and microbial diversity.

Unlabelled: Background and Aims Cotton-peanut rotation is a sustainable farming practice that enhances land utilization and promotes the sustainable development of agriculture. Crop rotation can reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases, as different crops have varying levels of resistance to such threats. Additionally, by alternating the types of crops grown, the soil environment is changed, which can lead to the elimination of favorable conditions for pathogens and pests, thereby alleviating the impact of these issues.

Light and phytochrome PHY control the production of edible fungus Flammulina filiformis by regulating the morphogenesis of fruiting bodies and l-lysine accumulation.

Spatial Mapping of Bioactive Metabolites in the Roots of Three Species by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging.

is a kind of medicinal plant that has made a great contribution to human health because of the presence of bioactive metabolites: saikosaponins and flavonoids. Despite their importance, it has been a challenge to visually characterize the spatial distribution of these metabolites in situ within the plant tissue, which is essential for assessing the quality of . The development of a new technology to identify and evaluate the quality of medicinal plants is therefore necessary.

Genetic diversity and population structure of on flixweed () in northwestern China.

Plenodomus biglobosus (Pb), a causal agent of blackleg of rapeseed, is composed of several subspecies, including 'australensis' (Pba), 'brassicae' (Pbb) and 'canadensis' (Pbc). Besides rapeseed, Pb can infect many wild cruciferous plants (WCPs), such as flixweed (Descurainia sophia) and pennycress (Thlaspi arvense), which may become the infection source for blackleg of rapeseed. However, Pb on WCPs has not been well investigated in China.

Results: In total, 2,567 and 7,187 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in 'Pacific Early' and 'Jilv3', respectively, by comparing the transcriptome expression patterns between the normal watering treatment and the drought stress treatment.

Morphological and molecular characterization of Eimeria haematopusi n. sp. (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) in an Australian Pied Oystercatcher (Haematopus longirostris) (Aves: Charadriiformes).

A novel Eimeria Schneider, 1875 species is described from an Australian pied oystercatcher Haematopus longirostris Vieillot, in Western Australia. The pied oystercatcher was admitted to the Kanyana Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre (KWRC), Perth, Western Australia in a poor body condition, abrasion to its right hock and signs of partial delamination to its lower beak. Investigation into potential medical causes resulted in a faecal sample being collected and screened for gastrointestinal parasites.

Gibberellin Positively Regulates Tomato Resistance to (TYLCV).

(TYLCV) is a prominent viral pathogen that adversely affects tomato plants. Effective strategies for mitigating the impact of TYLCV include isolating tomato plants from the whitefly, which is the vector of the virus, and utilizing transgenic lines that are resistant to the virus. In our preliminary investigations, we observed that the use of growth retardants increased the rate of TYLCV infection and intensified the damage to the tomato plants, suggesting a potential involvement of gibberellic acid (GA) in the conferring of resistance to TYLCV.

Cytological, Physiological, and Transcriptomic Analyses of the Leaf Color Mutant () in Eggplant ( L.).

Leaf color mutants are ideal materials for studying chlorophyll metabolism, chloroplast development, and photosynthesis in plants. We discovered a novel eggplant ( L.) mutant (yellow leaf 20) that exhibits yellow leaves.

CaWRKY50 Acts as a Negative Regulator in Response to Infection in Pepper.

Chili anthracnose is one of the most common and destructive fungal pathogens that affects the yield and quality of pepper. Although WRKY proteins play crucial roles in pepper resistance to a variety of pathogens, the mechanism of their resistance to anthracnose is still unknown. In this study, we found that expression was obviously induced by infection and salicylic acid (SA) treatments.

Therapeutic targeting of mitochondria-proteostasis axis by antioxidant polysaccharides in neurodegeneration.

Aging is a major risk factor for many age-associated disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases. Both mitochondrial dysfunction and proteostatic decline are well-recognized hallmarks of aging and age-related neurodegeneration. Despite a lack of therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, a number of interventions promoting mitochondrial integrity and protein homeostasis (proteostasis) have been shown to delay aging-associated neurodegeneration.

Study on taste quality formation and leaf conducting tissue changes in six types of tea during their manufacturing processes.

This study fristly investigated the taste quality formation and leaf conducting tissue changes in six types of Chinese tea (green, black, oolong, yellow, white, and dark) made from Mingke No.1 variety. Non-targeted metabolomics showed the vital manufacturing processes (green tea-de-enzyming, black tea-fermenting, oolong tea-turning-over, yellow tea-yellowing, white tea-withering, and dark tea-pile-fermenting) were highly related to their unique taste formation, due to different fermentation degree in these processes.
