Rice (Oryza sativa), a staple crop sustaining half of humanity’s caloric intake, is threatened by numerous insect-vector-transmitted diseases, such as rice stripe disease, caused by the rice stripe virus (RSV). Most genetic studies on plant antiviral defense mechanisms rely on natural or artificial...

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of persistent organic pollutants that are widely used in industry and consumption due to their unique chemical properties, but their extreme persistence and bioaccumulation potential pose significant risks to human health. There is gro...

Novel promoters that confer root-specific expression would be useful for engineering resistance against problems of nutrient and water absorption by roots. In this study, the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was used to identify seven genes with root-specific expression in rice. The i...

Chengkou mountain chicken, a Chinese indigenous breed, exhibits unique flavor characteristics. However, the genetic basis of its flavor precursor substances remains unexplored. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using low-coverage whole-genome sequencing (lcWGS) and genotype imputat...

ObjectiveHypotension is a common complication of spinal anesthesia during cesarean section, and no single intervention has been shown to eliminate maternal hypotension. Fluid loading strategies combined with vasopressor drug regimens can achieve this goal by maximizing cardiac output (CO) and minimi...

ABSTRACT We report a novel observation of forest dormouse (Dryomys nitedula) using and modifying nests of the white‐crowned penduline tit (Remiz coronatus) as den and breeding sites in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. In the Huocheng Ili River Valley National Wetland Park, 9 out of 56 n...

Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) play a key role in the interactions between plants and herbivorous insects, as HIPVs can promote or deter herbivorous insects’ behavior. While aphids are common and serious phloem-feeding pests in farmland ecosystems, little is known about how aphids use the...

Background Despite the slowly progressive nature of aortic stenosis, a proportion of aortic valve replacements (AVRs) still occur on an urgent/emergent basis. We sought to characterize the predictors, outcomes, and potential opportunities to prevent urgent/emergent AVRs. Methods We analyzed Medicare...

Low light stress is one of the most important factors affecting photosynthesis and growth in winter production of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) in solar greenhouses in northern China. Here, two genotypes of cucumber (Deltastar and Jinyan 2) are used to determine the effect of low light stress on Rub...
