Article Abstract

Background: Cold stress during the booting stage severely reduces rice yield by impairing pollen development and seed-setting rates. To uncover the molecular basis of cold tolerance, we analyzed phenotypic and transcriptomic data from 14 japonica rice varieties under cold stress, combined with WGCNA.

Results: The results demonstrated that cold stress significantly decreased yield traits, particularly seed-setting rate-a reliable cold tolerance indicator. Transcriptome analysis identified 6,240 and 7,996 DEGs in cold-tolerant and cold-sensitive varieties, respectively, with 1,875 core genes enriched in key pathways like plant hormone signaling and MAPK cascades.

Conclusion: WGCNA analysis identified a seed-setting rate-associated blue module, which contained 10 highly connected candidate genes and 20 core transcription factors potentially involved in cold tolerance. This study provides novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of cold tolerance in rice and offers valuable targets for molecular breeding of cold-resistant cultivars.

Immune checkpoint therapy has demonstrated significant potential in the treatment of various solid tumors. Among these, tumor-induced immunosuppression mediated by programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) represents a critical checkpoint. PD-1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors have been proven to exhibit substantial efficacy in solid tumors such as melanoma and bladder cancer.

Biological denitrification is an essential method for sewage treatment, though its efficiency is often constrained by low temperatures and insufficient organic carbon sources. In this study, a novel cold-tolerant heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification bacterium, Pseudomonas fluorescens sp. Z03, was isolated from activated sludge, and its denitrification performance was evaluated.

Climatic challenges increasingly threaten global food security, necessitating crops with enhanced multi-stress resilience. Through systematic transcriptomic analysis of 100 wheat genotypes under heat, drought, cold, and salt stress, we identified 3237 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) enriched in key stress-response pathways. Core transcription factors (, , ) and two functional modules governing abiotic tolerance were characterized.

is the most widely cultivated high-protein forage crop globally. However, its cultivation in high-latitude and cold regions of China is significantly hindered by low-temperature stress, particularly impacting the root system, the primary functional tissue crucial for winter survival. The physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying the root system's adaptation and tolerance to low temperatures remain poorly understood.

Static cold storage (SCS) on ice has remained the gold standard preservation method for heart transplantation, and prolonged cold ischemia outside the typical 4-6 hour window is associated with an increased risk of primary graft dysfunction - a consequence attributed to ischemic damage and reperfusion injury. This, unfortunately limits the travel radius for donor heart procurement, a key factor that contributes to the overall shortage of donor organs. Recent research and clinical data have illustrated the validity of other preservation systems in preserving cardiac allografts, and many of these devices have shown promise in potentially prolonging the tolerated ischemic time beyond the accepted standard.
