Grapes of different varieties respond differently to heat and drought. Tempranillo is most affected while Grenache is more resilient. Understanding this helps optimize grape growth and wine quality amidst changing climate conditions.
Celastrol from Tripterygium wilfordii protects diabetic rats against cognitive decline by improving insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, and reducing inflammation in the brain. Celastrol also promotes the synthesis of synaptic proteins, enhancing cognitive function.
Biochar reduces Cd and Pb concentrations in cotton by regulating metal transporter proteins and gene expression, increasing photosynthesis and enzyme activity. Use biochar to combat compound heavy metal toxicity in cash crop production.
Scientists created a high-quality genome for looseleaf lettuce using multiple sequencing technologies. This will help understand genetic variation and improve breeding in lettuce.
Curculigoside (CUR) from Curculigo orchioides reduces apoptosis and oxidative stress in spinal cord injury, promoting tissue recovery and functional improvement through Nrf2/NQO1 signaling pathway. CUR shows promise for SCI treatment development.
PFE improves ZVI/HO technology for Norfloxacin removal by enhancing efficiency and decreasing iron sludge. Key mechanism involves ROS attack, pH lowering, chelation, and antioxidant capacity. UPR concept introduced.
Researchers studied SOT enzyme's role in plants' tolerance against drought and heat stress. Knowledge of SOT genes can help improve crop tolerance, aiding molecular breeding methods.
Three Rutaceae essential oils, A. pedunculata and E. lepta are strong anti-cancer, while E. lepta is highly anti-inflammatory. Potential medicines for cancer and inflammation.
