Article Abstract
The promoter region and intact coding region of Pib gene (9.9 kb) was inserted into the downstream of CaMV 35S promoter in a binary vector pPZP2Ha3(+), resulting a plasmid pNAR701. And a fragment of Pib gene from 6 986 to 9 392 bp was placed into pPZP2Ha3(-) under the control of CaMV 35S promoter, producing an antisense expression vector pNAR703. These two recombined vectors were transferred into a blast medium susceptible rice cultivar R109 by an Agrobecterium-mediated method. Tests of PCR and Southern blotting for transgenic plants as well as the segregation of hygromycin resistance in T1 generation confirmed that the target DNA fragments were integrated into genome of R109 and hereditable. Northern blotting analysis showed the coding region of Pib gene double driven by 35S and its native promoter was able to transcript in T1 transgenic plants. Rice blast resistance test for T1 transgenic seedlings of 3-4 leaves stage and in vitro leaves in tillering stage showed that transgenic plants of pNAR701 were more resistant to blast race ZD1 and ZG1 than the wild type plants, but the resistance of antisense transgenic plants from pNAR703 was decreased compared to the controls.

The efficacy of cancer immunotherapy relies on the recruitment and activation of cytotoxic T cell responses against solid tumors by type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s). However, the generation of cDC1s for cancer immunotherapy faces significant limitations, including poor cell yield, functional heterogeneity, and susceptibility to immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment (TME). We recently developed an immunotherapy modality based on in vivo reprogramming of cancer cells into immunogenic cDC1-like cells, which enabled cancer cells to present tumor antigens as cDC1s and elicited polyclonal cytotoxic T cell responses and durable systemic anti-tumor immunity.

Emerging evidence suggests that the gut microbiome may modulate neurodegeneration; however, its role as a mediator in the APOE-Aβ relationship remains unclear.
Objective: To evaluate whether specific microbial taxa mediate APOE-related effects on brain Aβ burden in an established population-based study of middle-aged adults.
A Blast-Resistant NLR Gene Confers Drought Resistance by Competitively Interacting with an E3 Ligase to Protect Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase in Rice.

Drought and diseases represent major challenges to achieve high yield in crops, underscoring the urgent need to explore drought- and disease-resistant genetic resources and breed crop varieties with multi-stress resistance. Here, using a genome-wide association study combined with function analyses, PibH8, a homologous of the blast resistance gene Pib encoding a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptor (NLR) is identified, which plays a crucial role in rice drought resistance. PibH8 interacts with phenylalanine ammonia-lyase OsPAL1, a rate-limiting enzyme in phenylpropanoids biosynthesis pathway in rice.

Diseases and weeds occupy a leading place among the factors limiting the yield of agricultural crops, including rice. These factors can be overcome through the use of chemical protective agents, as well as through the creation and introduction into agricultural production of rice varieties resistant to these stressors. The use of DNA marking technologies for target genes of economically valuable traits in the creation of promising varieties allows not only for the identification of genes but also the monitoring of their transmission during crosses and the selection of breeding-valuable genotypes with genes of interest.

Background And Objectives: A previous postmortem study of men with Christianson syndrome, a disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the gene , reported a mechanistic link between pathologic tau accumulation and progressive symptoms such as cerebellar atrophy and cognitive decline. This study aimed to characterize the relationships between neuropathologic manifestations and tau accumulation in heterozygous women with mutation.
Methods: We conducted a multimodal neuroimaging and plasma biomarker study on 3 middle-aged heterozygous women with mutations (proband 1: mid-50s; proband 2: early 50s; proband 3: mid-40s) presenting with progressive extrapyramidal symptoms.
