The genes of collagen-like proteins (CLPs) have been identified in a broad range bacteria, including some human pathogens. They are important for biofilm formation and bacterial adhesion to host cells pathogenic several Bacillus spp. strains. Interestingly, CLP-encoding (clps) also found non-human strains such as B. cereus amyloliquefaciens, which types plant-growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). In this study, we investigated putative cluster clps amyloliquefaciens strain FZB42...

Melatonin plays an important role in plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, whether melatonin is involved the regulation of architecture, such as formation axillary bud outgrowth or tillering, rice remains unknown. Here, we found that different concentrations influenced rice, moderate also alleviated inhibition presence high basic amino acids lysine arginine. Furthermore, transcriptome analysis demonstrated genes nitrogen metabolism phytohormone signal transduction...

Low-affinity nitrate transporter gene members have been identified in subfamilies 4–8 of the rice 1/peptide family (NPF), but OsNPF3 subfamily responsible for and phytohormone transport growth development is unknown. In this study, we described OsNPF3.1 as an essential tillering nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUtE). possesses four major haplotypes its promoter sequence 517 cultivars, expression positively associated with tiller number. Its was higher basal part, culm, leaf blade than other...

Copper oxide nanoparticles (nano-CuO) are recognized as an emerging pollutant. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can mitigate the adverse impacts of various pollutants on host plants. However, AMF’s mechanism for alleviating nano-CuO phytotoxicity remains unclear. The goal this study was to evaluate how AMF inoculations affect physiological features Canna indica seedlings exposed stress. Compared with non-AMF inoculated treatment, noticeably improved plant biomass, colonization, leaf...

Sex-related differences in sex ratio, growth, and herbivory are widely documented many dioecious plants. The common pattern is for males to grow faster than females be less well-defended against herbivores, but Salix an exception. To study sex-related the patterns of resource allocation growth defense willows, we conducted a large-scale field experiment investigate flowering mortality, traits, insect content defensive substances three populations comprising two species. Results demonstrate...

Abstract Plagiodera versicolora Laicharting is a highly damaging leaf beetle foraging on willow leaves. In germplasm collections, observation has shown that Salix suchowensis Cheng was severely foraged by this while triandra L. damage free or only slightly damaged. Results of olfactometer bioassays show the headspace volatiles from leaves S. significantly repelled adult beetles, suggesting species produces volatile repellents against P. versicolora. had no effect beetles. Gas...

Elucidating the genetic factors underlying long-term biological processes remains challenging since relevant genes and their effects may vary across different developmental stages. In this study, we carried out a large-scale field trial of progeny an F1 full-sib pedigree Salix suchowensis measured plant height ground diameter periodically over time course 240 days. With obtained data, characterized growth rhythms performed time-sequential analyses quantitative trait loci dynamic plants. The...

Short-rotation coppice willows, which are commonly propagated with cuttings, promising bioenergy resource crops. In this study, a field trial completely randomized block design was carried out 787 clones from three full-sib pedigrees involving two shrub willow species. A total of 7083 cuttings were planted in the field, and mass each cutting recorded correspondingly. The mortality rate, growth traits, wood property traits cutting-propagated plant measured throughout complete growing season....

Shrub willow (Salix L. spp.) is a promising bioenergy resource crop due to its high growth rates and superb regenerative ability. Sprouting capacity influenced by many factors, such as parent tree species size, which are important limiting factors for stump survival or sprout growth. In this study, we aimed quantify the regeneration performance of sprouts (including height, diameter, number, leaf morphological traits, chlorophyll content, ground part dry biomass) from stumps two Salix three...

Objective: This study aims to investigate the clinical effect of health education intervention in chronic gastritis nursing. Methods: A total 142 patients with our hospital from February 2016 June 2017 were selected. They divided into control and research groups by odd even numbers, 71 for each group. The group received conventional therapy routine nursing, whereas was offered extra based on two compared terms related disease knowledge, nursing efficiency, satisfaction, quality. Results:...

Shengzhou nane (Prunus salicina var. taoxingli) as main cultivated plum in Zhejiang province, China, ripened summer and was susceptible to microbial infection during the maturation stages because of high ambient temperature. In July 2022, fruits were found with symptoms dark skin grey-white lesions on surface, an average incidence approximate 16% (data obtained from investigation ten trees each orchard, fifty tree) four orchards city, China. To isolate pathogen, symptomatic partially rotted...

Shrub willows are widely planted for landscaping, soil remediation, and biomass production, due to their rapid growth rates. Identification of regulatory genes in wood formation would provide clues genetic engineering improved traits on marginal lands. Here, we conducted an expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis, using a full sibling F1 population Salix suchowensis, explore the mechanisms underlying formation. Based variants identified from simplified genome sequencing gene data...
