The key flavonoid biosynthesis-related genes and their molecular features in rice have not been comprehensively and systematically characterized. In this study, we investigated the glumes of OsCSN1 mutants and OsCSN2 mutants and found the changes in the total flavonoid contents of the OsCSN2 mutants to be more pronounced than those of the OsCSN1 mutants and the changes in the anthocyanin contents of the OsCSN1 mutants to be more pronounced than those of the OsCSN2 mutants. In addition, key genes related to flavonoid synthesis, OsCHI, showed a more pronounced up-regulation trend, and the OsDFR gene, which encodes a precursor enzyme for anthocyanin synthesis, showed a clear down-regulation trend.

- Recent research has focused on how alkaline soda soil affects plant biology, particularly in rice seedlings under carbonate stress compared to saline stress.
- The study examined the impact of different alkaline treatments on rice seedlings over various time periods, analyzing their physiological responses and hormone signaling changes.
- Results indicated that alkaline stress was more damaging than saline stress, leading to increased organic acid accumulation and alterations in hormone signaling and metabolic pathways in the rice seedlings.
Article Synopsis
- The SMAP gene is crucial for organisms, with Arabidopsis thaliana containing two copies: SMAP1 and SMAP2, both affecting root response to 2,4-D.
- Researchers cloned the AtSMAP2 promoter sequence and created two fragments (1993 bp and 997 bp) to study their expression activity in Arabidopsis using a GUS expression vector.
- The 997 bp promoter showed higher activity, containing multiple hormone response elements, which suggests important implications for understanding AtSMAP2 gene regulation and functions.

The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is a conserved protein complex found in higher eukaryotes, consisting of eight subunits, and it plays a crucial role in regulating various processes of plant growth and development. Among these subunits, CSN2 is one of the most conserved components within the COP9 signalosome complex. Despite its prior identification in other species, its specific function in Oryza sativa L.

Materials And Methods: We performed 21 revision hip arthroplasty in 16 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) using S-ROM modular femoral stem. At the final follow-up, all patients were able to ambulate without any walking aids.
