Researchers studied the effectiveness of CAPE and curcumin in treating breast cancer. Results could lead to new treatment options.
Scientists sequenced the chloroplast genome of 'Quanhong poplar', a rare reddish-purple cultivar, with 130 predicted genes. This data can aid breeders in developing plants with desired leaf colors.
The study explored the impact of S21 and S22 subgroup genes on drought tolerance in poplar plants. These genes boosted stomatal closure, reduced MDA production, increased POD activity, and improved root growth and seed germination rate, potentially enhancing drought adaptability.
