Ethylene is an important plant hormone that regulates numerous cellular processes and stress responses. The mode of action ethylene both dose- time-dependent. Protein phosphorylation plays a key role in signaling, which mediated by the activities receptors, constitutive triple response 1 (CTR1) kinase, phosphatase. To address how alters protein profile time-dependent manner, differential quantitative phosphoproteomics based on (15)N stable isotope labeling Arabidopsis was performed...

Inhalation of fine particulate matter PM2.5-bound arsenic (PM2.5-As) may cause significant cardiovascular damage, due to its high concentration, long transmission range, and good absorption efficiency in organisms. However, both the contribution effect exposure pathway, with PM2.5 as medium, on system damage nonferrous smelting sites remain be studied. In this work, a one-year site sample collection analysis work showed that annual concentration PM2.5-As reached 0.74 μg/m3, which was 120...
