High salinity has negative impacts on plant growth through altered water uptake and ion-specific toxicities. Plants have therefore evolved an intricate regulatory network in which hormones play significant roles modulating physiological responses to salinity. However, current understanding of the peptides involved this remains limited. Here, we identified a salt-regulated peptide Arabidopsis. The was 11 aa derived from C terminus cysteine-rich secretory proteins, antigen 5,...
Phosphorus (P) is a mineral nutrient essential for plant growth and development, but most P in the soil unavailable plants. To understand genetic basis of acquisition regulation, we performed genome-wide association studies (GWASs) on diversity panel Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Two primary determinants were considered, namely, phosphate (Pi)-uptake activity PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER 1 (PHT1) protein abundance. Association mapping revealed shared significant peak chromosome 5 (Chr5) where...
Abstract Autophagy in plants is regulated by diverse signaling cascades response to environmental changes. Fine-tuning of its activity critical for the maintenance cellular homeostasis under basal and stressed conditions. In this study, we compared Arabidopsis autophagy–related (ATG) system transcriptionally inorganic phosphate (Pi) deficiency versus nitrogen showed that most ATG genes are only moderately upregulated Pi starvation, with relatively stronger induction AtATG8f AtATG8h among...
The Mendelian randomization approach uses genetic variants as instrumental variables to study the causal association between risk factors and health outcomes of interest. We aimed examine relation alcohol consumption cardiovascular using two variables: dehydrogenase 1B (
Large-scale pharmaco-epidemiological studies of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) for treatment urticaria are few, even though clinical trials showed some CHM effective. The purpose this study was to explore the frequencies and patterns prescriptions by analysing population-based database in Taiwan.This linked processed through complete traditional National Health Insurance Research Database Taiwan during 2009. We calculated used urticaria, which diagnosis defined as single ICD-9 Code 708....
Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has improved our understanding of complex traits, but challenges exist in distinguishing causation versus caused by linkage disequilibrium. Instead, transcriptome-wide studies (TWAS) detect direct associations between expression levels and phenotypic variations, providing an opportunity to better prioritize candidate genes. To assess the feasibility TWAS, we investigated transcriptomes, genomes, various traits Arabidopsis, including flowering time. The...
Background In Taiwan there has been limited research of epidemiological surveys on prevalence infertility. This study aimed to provide the updated primary infertility and help-seeking among residents in Taiwan. Methods Between February March 2023, we conducted a cross-sectional population-based telephone survey 1,297 men women aged 20–49 years who were residing We used computer-assisted interviewing techniques collect data regarding sociodemographic reproductive characteristics. Using two...
ABSTRACT To understand the genetic basis in governing phosphorus (P) acquisition, we performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on a diversity panel of Arabidopsis thaliana by two primary determinants P phosphate (Pi)-uptake activity and PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER 1 (PHT1) protein abundance. Association mapping revealed shared significant peak chromosome 5 (Chr5) where PHT1;1 / 2 3 genes reside, suggesting strong correlation between regulation Pi-uptake PHT1 Genes encoding transcription...
