Regulation of glucosylceramide synthase and sphingolipid remodeling in the plant response to phosphate deficiency.

Sphingolipids are important and abundant lipids in the plasma membrane, and their homeostasis plays a key role in plant growth, development, and stress responses. We previously found that nonspecific phospholipase C4 (NPC4) hydrolyzes sphingophospholipids upon phosphate starvation. Here, we defined the downstream steps of sphingolipid remodeling by identifying glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) and its regulatory mechanisms in Arabidopsis thaliana.

The spatial impact of carbon trading on harmonious economic and environmental development: evidence from China.

This research explores the endogenous influence of carbon trading on economic development, the ecological environment, and the coordinated development of both using panel data from 30 Chinese provinces and cities except Tibet from 2007 to 2017. First, we provide environmental production elements to build an economic model based on the endogenous growth model, and then we employ three-dimensional graphics to conduct theoretical derivation in a more accessible and tangible manner. Secondly, we build a comprehensive index of China's coordinated economic and environmental growth in the context of carbon trading and use the coupled coordination model to determine the coordinated coupling degree of each location.
