Article Abstract
Transcription factors (TFs) play key roles in controlling gene expression. Systematic identification and annotation of TFs, followed by construction of TF databases may serve as useful resources for studying the function and evolution of transcription factors. We developed a comprehensive plant transcription factor database PlantTFDB (http://planttfdb.cbi.pku.edu.cn), which contains 26,402 TFs predicted from 22 species, including five model organisms with available whole genome sequence and 17 plants with available EST sequences. To provide comprehensive information for those putative TFs, we made extensive annotation at both family and gene levels. A brief introduction and key references were presented for each family. Functional domain information and cross-references to various well-known public databases were available for each identified TF. In addition, we predicted putative orthologs of those TFs among the 22 species. PlantTFDB has a simple interface to allow users to search the database by IDs or free texts, to make sequence similarity search against TFs of all or individual species, and to download TF sequences for local analysis.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as pivotal regulators in gene expression networks, characterized by their structural flexibility and functional versatility. In plants, lncRNAs have gained increasing attention due to accumulating evidence of their roles in modulating developmental plasticity and agronomic traits. In this review, we focus on the origin, classification, and mechanisms of action of plant lncRNAs, with a particular emphasis on their involvement in developmental processes.

This study introduces Multi-Dimensional Environment (MDE) zoning to enhance maize resilience and improve stagnant yields in China amidst climate change. Utilizing comprehensive environmental and yield data, MDE zoning accurately identifies areas for targeted, climate-adaptive breeding. The tool provides a flexible framework for updates using annual variety testing and daily environmental data, optimizing production and resource allocation.

Background: Soil salinization represents a critical global challenge to agricultural productivity, profoundly impacting crop yields and threatening food security. Plant salt-responsive is complex and dynamic, making it challenging to fully elucidate salt tolerance mechanism and leading to gaps in our understanding of how plants adapt to and mitigate salt stress.
Results: Here, we conduct high-resolution time-series transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling of the extremely salt-tolerant maize inbred line, HLZY, and the salt-sensitive elite line, JI853.

The electromobility shift assay (EMSA) is a popular and productive molecular biology tool for studying protein-nucleic acid interactions. EMSA is a technique applied to the revelation of the binding dynamics of proteins, like transcription factors, to DNA or RNA. There are ample essential phases in the technique.

Local anesthetics such as lidocaine have been used in humans and other animals to perform surgical procedures, therapeutics, and experiments. Lidocaine discarded into the environment through industrial waste, human and animal excretion, and household waste has been detected in the aquatic environment. For example, lidocaine in rivers, lakes, and influent and effluent water has been detected at wastewater treatment plants (7 ng/L-2.
