Maize is moderately sensitive to salt stress; therefore, soil salinity a serious threat its production worldwide. Here, excellent salt-tolerant maize inbred line TL1317 and extremely salt-sensitive SL1303 were screened understand the response stress tolerance mechanisms. Relative water content, membrane stability index, stomatal conductance, chlorophyll maximum photochemical efficiency, shoot root fresh/dry weight, proline soluble sugar content analyses used identify that physiological...

Summary Phytochrome‐interacting factors ( PIF s) play major roles in regulating plant growth and development, but their drought stress remain elusive. Here, we cloned characterized a maize Zea mays ) transcription factor, Zm 1 . The expression level of was significantly induced by independent abscisic acid ABA treatments. transgenic rice Arabidopsis displayed water saving resistance, which were associated with reduced stomatal aperture transpiration rate. Moreover, the hypersensitive to...

The extent to which low-level, in utero mercury exposure affects child neurobehavioral development during early childhood has been inconclusive. In addition, the effects of sex and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on these relationships remain unclear controversial. This study aimed explore associations between prenatal low-level neonatal toddler periods examine potential confounding or interactive DHA status relationships. longitudinal included 286 mother-child pairs Shanghai, China, whose cord...

As common environmental pollutants, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that are widely applied in industry and agriculture have adverse effects on neurodevelopment. However, evidence the neurotoxicity of POPs neural development offspring is limited. This study explored relationship between prenatal exposure to neurodevelopment 18-month-old toddlers a mother-child cohort Shanghai, China. In this study, we determined levels 37 cord blood serum collected at time delivery. The detection rate...
