Researchers investigated the growth response of plants to shading and its underlying mechanism. They focused on long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) which are crucial for growth and response to environmental conditions. Understanding this can enhance plant cultivation and adaptation.
Researchers studied the ethanolic root extract of Piper longum and identified piperlonguminine as a potential medicine for colorectal cancer. Hub genes SRC, MTOR, EZH2, and MAPK3 were found to be involved in cancer-related pathways that could be targeted for treatment. Piperlonguminine shows promise as a future CRC medicine.
Nitric oxide supplementation with beetroot juice + high-intensity exercise improves vascular function in postmenopausal females, potentially offering alternative to those unwilling to perform high-intensity exercise. Future studies could explore long-term benefits.
This review summarizes the botanical, traditional uses, chemistry, and biological activities of Hongbao Cao, a Chinese medicinal herb. It highlights its potential for treating gastrointestinal and gynecological disorders and traumatic injuries, but more research is needed for a thorough evaluation.
The researchers corrected an article with a specific DOI, suggesting a modification or update to the original article. You should care to ensure accurate and reliable information for making informed decisions in your lab.
Researchers exposed the sweetpotato cultivar "Beauregard" to heat, salt, and drought stress, and identified genes that respond to each stress condition. This study provides insight into the mechanisms of abiotic stress tolerance in sweetpotato, an important food security crop.
Chronic noni fruit juice supplementation improved exercise performance and blood glucose control in rats with diabetes, but also caused kidney damage. Care should be taken when considering noni for clinical use.
