Investigation of the mechanism of Prunella vulgaris in treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma based on network pharmacology integrated molecular docking and experimental verification.

Prunella vulgaris shows potential in treating papillary thyroid carcinoma by reducing activity and protein levels of key targets, through the core component kaempferol. A theoretical basis is provided for future research on effective components.

Distinct hormonal and morphological control of dormancy and germination in Chenopodium album dimorphic seeds.

Dormancy and heteromorphism in Amaranthaceae weed seeds are studied. Black seeds have deeper dormancy and require specific conditions for germination. Hormones and genes involved in dormancy are identified. These findings help understand adaptations in variable environments.

The miR156b-GmSPL2b module mediates male fertility regulation of cytoplasmic male sterility-based restorer line under high-temperature stress in soybean.

High temperatures during soybean flowering lead to pollen abortion and fertilization failure. The miR156b-GmSPL2b gene module regulates male fertility and affects gene expression related to pollen development and thermotolerance. This discovery could help breed heat-tolerant soybean varieties.
