Research attention to improving source and sink strength in maize production is requisite for enhancing yield. Improvement has been achieved with higher post-silking dry matter accumulation, whereas historical improvement mostly attributed increasing kernel number (KN) per unit area, part because KN known be more vulnerable abiotic stresses compared weight (KW). However, KW can also vary widely as it dependent on both genotype accumulation during the period. In order illustrate consequences...

Sustainable agriculture requires improved phosphorus (P) management to reduce the overreliance on P fertilization. Despite intensive research of root adaptive mechanisms for improving acquisition, inherent potential roots efficient acquisition remains unfulfilled, especially in agriculture, while current generally focuses agronomic and environmental concerns. Here, we investigated how levels soil affect maize (Zea mays L.) obtain from soil. Responses morphology, arbuscular mycorrhizal...

Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck (red wendun) leaves have been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat several illnesses including diabetes. However, there is no scientific evidence supporting these actions and its active compounds. Two flavone glycosides, rhoifolin cosmosiin were isolated for the first time from red wendun and, identified are rich source (1.1%, w/w). In differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes, showed dose-dependent response concentration range of o.oo1-5 μM 1-20 μM, respectively,...

To investigate the role and possible molecular mechanism of Krüppel-like factor 7 (KLF7) in TLR4/NF-κB/IL-6 inflammatory signaling pathway activated by free fatty acids (FFA).The mRNA protein expression levels KLF7 factors signal pathways were detected qRT-PCR Western blotting after cell culture with different concentrations palmitic acid (PA). The or TLR4 adipocytes was upregulated downregulated; that, these key detected. downregulated while PA stimulated adipocytes, then expressions...

Hybrid era and management practices like nitrogen (N) rate plant density influence canopy traits their correlations with grain yield, kernel number, weight in maize ( Zea mays L.). A four site‐year study was conducted employing two N rates (55 220 kg ha −1 ) three densities between 54,000 104,000 plants for newer hybrids (2005) older (1967 1975). Hybrids varied anthesis–silking interval, specific leaf (SLN), area, greenness (soil analysis development [SPAD] readings), but not area index...

As one of the most common forms cancer that threatens men's health, prostate (PCa) is under a trend increasing morbidity and mortality in countries. More more studies have pointed out obesity closely linked to occurrence development PCa, although there are still many undiscovered molecular mechanisms between two.In present study, we compare serum lipid levels patients with PCa normal individuals. cells (PC3 22RV1) were cultured vitro, TC/TG/HDL/GLU assay kit was used detect glucose...

Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) continues to be the most common, noncutaneous in men. Bone is frequent site of PCa metastases, and up 90% patients with advanced develop bone metastases. An altered marrow microenvironment, induced by obesity, a significant mediator for tropism PCa. However, specific molecular mechanisms which obesity causes changes leading metastasis, are not fully understood. Our results demonstrate that high‐fat diet (HFD) leads dyslipidemia nude mice: an increase area...

Biomass-derived 5-alkoxymethylfurfurals (AMFs) are an important kind of high-quality liquid biofuel or diesel additive, which commonly produced by the etherification 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) with alcohols. To produce various AMFs in a convenient and practical manner, design high-performance catalysts preeminent catalytic universalities is particularly interesting meaningful task. Herein, we developed useful carbonization–coordination–sulfonation strategy, was employed to construct...

Abstract Background Obesity-induced abnormal bone marrow microenvironment is one of the important risk element for metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa). The present study aimed to determine whether obesity-induced elevation palmitic acid (PA), which most abundant free fatty acids (FFAs), increased CCL2 via GPRs/KLF7 pathway adipocytes (BMA) facilitate PCa growth and metastasis. Methods We constructed a bone-tumor bearing mouse model with obesity through high-fat diet, observed tumor formation...

Hybrid selection in maize (Zea mays L.) over the decades has increased post-silking dry matter (PostDM) and nitrogen (PostN) accumulation, often with an accompanying increase one or more N use efficiency (NUE) metrics such as partial factor productivity (PFP), conversion (NCE), internal (NIE). More certainty on underlying mechanisms of how PostDM PostN changes time have contributed to NUE gains losses modern-era hybrids can only be realized by directly comparing different eras context...

Abstract Background Han and Uygur are the two main nationalities living in Xinjiang, China. There significant differences incidence of metabolic diseases for nationalities, but specific reasons not clear. Obesity is an important risk factor development syndrome, which may be closely related to increase serum free fatty acids (FFAs) content. This study aims use metabolomics compare changes FFAs profiles between normal weight (NW) obese (OB) individuals screening out differential FFAs,...

Pearlite is an important structure in carbon steel; however, the influence mechanism of carbides pearlite on its mechanical properties and microstructure evolution has not yet been fully elucidated. In this work, a ferrite–carbide composite model with various carbide types was constructed to investigate via uniaxial compression deformation using classical molecular dynamics simulations. It found that type had little effect compressive elastic modulus, but more obvious yield strain, stress,...
