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.
This study identifies genes related to invertases and their inhibitors in cucumber. Understanding these genes can help researchers study sucrose metabolism, growth, development, and stress tolerance in plants.
Dogwood extract and ferment have antioxidant, anti-aging properties, promote cell viability, and inhibit bacterial proliferation. Fermentation with kombucha yields valuable products, making them great ingredients for skincare.
Picrasidine J, a compound isolated from a plant, inhibits cell motility, migration, and invasion in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). It also inhibits the expression of serine protease KLK-10 and phosphorylation of ERK. This suggests that picrasidine J could be a promising anticancer compound for preventing HNSCC metastasis and progression.
The study analyzed the effects of gene overexpression on leaf growth in tobacco plants. It found that overexpression affected various biological processes, potentially leading to reduced leaf size. This provides new insights into the function of the gene and its homologous genes.
This study identified and quantified various phenolic compounds in chestnuts, including dicarboxylic acid derivatives, hydroxybenzoic acids, hydroxycinnamic acids, and flavanols. Contrary to the assumption, commercial hybrid cultivars did not have a superior metabolic profile compared to "native" accessions.
This study identified and analyzed the CNGC gene family in eggplant. The genes were found to be involved in environmental adaptability regulation and the response to cold stress. The study provides a foundation for further research on cold adaptation in eggplant.
