Impact assessment of differential chlormequat chloride exposure on soil fungal community dynamics.

Introduction: This study investigated the dose-dependent effects of chlormequat chloride (CC) applications on soil fungal community structure and diversity in a peanut cultivation system.

Methods: A controlled field experiment was conducted with four treatment regimes: control (CK, no CC application), low-dose (D, 45g active ingredient/ha), medium-dose (M, 75g a.i.

Classification of Crab-Field Rice and Conventional Rice Based on Multi-Element, Stable Isotope, and Non-Targeted Metabolome Combined with Chemometrics.

The quality of rice is closely related to its planting mode. The rice produced in rice-crab co-cultivation fields often enjoy higher prices and consumption enthusiasm than traditional rice due to the use of fewer chemical inputs, making it a key target of commercial fraud. In this study, multi-element, stable isotope, metabolite analysis techniques were synergistically applied with chemometric methods to distinguish between crab-field rice and common rice.

Effects of different concentrations of chlormequat chloride on bacterial community composition and diversity in peanut soil.

The application of pesticides may have significant impacts on soil environment and communities. In order to understand the deep relationship between the application of chlormequat chloride (CC) and the bacterial community in peanut soil, high-resolution characterization was performed using peanut soil samples (12 points; 0-20 cm rhizosphere soil) from untreated and sprayed with different concentrations of CC. Experimental data showed that with the increase of concentration, operational taxonomic units (OTUs) richness showed a decreasing tendency.

Zinc-selenium interaction regulates leaf photosynthesis and mediates grain sugar metabolism to improve the yield and quality of hybrid rice: A physiological perspective.

As a fundamental food crop on a global scale, rice necessitates continual focus on improving both its yield and quality. This study investigates the regulatory effects of zinc and selenium, two beneficial elements, on rice quality and yield formation, with a particular emphasis on their impact on photosynthetic physiology throughout the rice growth cycle. The findings indicate that the interaction between zinc and selenium enhances the net photosynthetic rate of rice leaves, primarily by modulating stomatal movement.

Correlation between SMADs and Colorectal Cancer Expression, Prognosis, and Immune Infiltrates.

Background: In recent years, the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) are increasing, and the 5-year survival rate of advanced metastatic CRC is poor. Small mothers against decapentaplegic (SMAD) superfamily are intracellular signal transduction proteins associated with the development and prognosis of a variety of tumors. At present, no study has systematically analysed the relationship between SMADs and CRC.

Multifunctional MXene/Aramid Nanofiber Composite Films for Efficient Electromagnetic Interference Shielding and Repeatable Early Fire Detection.

Rapid development of highly integrated electronic and telecommunication devices has led to urgent demands for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials that incorporate flame retardancy, and more desirably the early fire detection ability, due to the potential fire hazards caused by heat propagation and thermal failure of the devices during operation. Here, multifunctional flexible films having the main dual functions of high EMI shielding performance and repeatable fire detection ability are fabricated by vacuum filtration of the mixture of MXene and aramid nanofiber (ANF) suspensions. ANFs serve to reinforce MXene films via the formation of hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl groups of ANFs and the hydroxyl groups of MXene.

Bioinformatics analysis on differentially expressed genes between colorectal adenoma and colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Background: Colorectal adenoma (CRA) is the main cause of the progression of Colorectal adenocarcinoma (COAD). Therefore, it is very important to accurately reveal its developmental mechanism.

Methods: Differential expression genes (DEGs) in three microarray datasets were screened using GEO and GEO2R.

Hsa_circ_0031787 promotes cell proliferation and invasion in colorectal cancer.

Objective: Circular RNA (circRNA) has been found to be involved in regulating tumor development. However, the roles and underlying mechanisms of circRNA in colorectal cancer (CRC) development remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of hsa_circ_0031787 on CRC.

Silencing of PPMD1 inhibits proliferation of human colon cancer cells via induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.

Purpose: Accumulating reports have shown the oncogenic properties of PPMD1 (protein phosphatase, Mg2+/Mn2+ dependent 1D) in different cancer types. This study was undertaken to explore the role and therapeutic potential of PPM1D in colon cancer.

Methods: HT-29 colon cancer cell line was used in this study.

The Involvement of NF-κB/Klotho Signaling in Colorectal Cancer Cell Survival and Invasion.

Lipopolysaccharide significantly increased invasion, cell proliferation, and phospho-NF-κB p65 and phospho-IGF-1R protein, but decreased klotho protein expression, cell apoptosis, and the percentage of sub G0/G1 cells in SW480 and HT29 colorectal cancer cells. In contrast, NF-κB inhibitor exhibited a counteract effect of lipopolysaccharide. Transfection of Toll-like receptor 4 shRNA significantly decreased phospho-NF-κB p65 and phospho-IGF-1R protein levels, invasion, but significantly increased klotho protein expression, cell apoptosis, and the percentage of sub G0/G1 in SW480 and HT29 cells.

PPM1D is a prognostic marker and therapeutic target in colorectal cancer.

Protein phosphatase, Mg/Mn dependent, 1D (PPM1D) has been associated with carcinogenesis. The present study investigated PPM1D expression as a potential biomarker in colorectal cancer (CRC). PPM1D expression was assessed using immunohistochemistry in 368 patients with CRC.

[Evolutionary analysis of neuraminidase gene of A/H7N9 influenza virus].

In 2013, the World Health Organization reported the first case of human infection with a new influenza A (H7N9) virus in China. This has caused damage and panic within certain areas in China. Therefore, analysis of this virus with bioinformatics technology is very necessary.
