Impacts of plastic pollution on soil-plant properties and greenhouse gas emissions in wetlands: A meta-analysis.

Plastic pollution in wetlands has recently emerged as an urgent environmental problem. However, the impacts of plastic contamination on soil-plant properties and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in wetlands remain unclear. Thus, this study conducted a meta-analysis based on 44 study sites to explore the influence of plastic pollution on soil physicochemical variables, soil microorganisms, enzyme activity, functional genes, plant characteristics, and GHG emissions (CO, CH, and NO) in different wetland types.

Shading treatment during late stage of seed development promotes subsequent seed germination and seedlings establishment in sunflower.

During the sunflower seed production process, the role of artificial shading treatment (ST) in seed development and subsequent seed germination remains largely unknown. In the present study, sunflower mother plants were artificially shaded during 1-34 (full period-ST, FST), 1-22 (early period-ST, EST), and 22-34 (late period-ST, LST) days after pollination (DAP), to examine the effects of parental shading on subsequent seed germination. Both FST and EST significantly reduced the photosynthetic efficiency of sunflower, manifested as decreased seed dry weight and unfavorable seed germination.

Projections from anteromedial thalamus nucleus to the midcingulate cortex mediate pain and anxiety-like behaviors in mice.

Prior research has demonstrated the involvement of the midcingulate cortex (MCC) and its downstream pathway in pain regulation. However, the mechanism via which pain information is conveyed to the MCC remains unclear. The present study utilized immunohistochemistry, chemogenetics, optogenetics, and behavior detection methods to explore the involvement of MCC, anteromedial thalamus nucleus (AM), and AM-MCC pathway in pain and emotional regulation.

Projections from the Rostral Zona Incerta to the Thalamic Paraventricular Nucleus Mediate Nociceptive Neurotransmission in Mice.

Zona incerta (ZI) is an integrative subthalamic region in nociceptive neurotransmission. Previous studies demonstrated that the rostral ZI (ZIR) is an important gamma-aminobutyric acid-ergic (GABAergic) source to the thalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVT), but whether the ZIR-PVT pathway participates in nociceptive modulation is still unclear. Therefore, our investigation utilized anatomical tracing, fiber photometry, chemogenetic, optogenetic and local pharmacological approaches to investigate the roles of the ZIR-PVT pathway in nociceptive neurotransmission in mice.
