The pollution of soil with heavy metals is an increasingly serious worldwide problem, and cadmium (Cd) has attracted attention because its high toxicity to almost all plants. Since castor tolerates the accumulation metals, it potential for metal remediation. We studied mechanism tolerance Cd stress treatments at three doses: 300 mg/L, 700 1,000 mg/L. This research provides new ideas revealing defense detoxification mechanisms Cd-stressed castor. By combining results physiology, differential...

Abstract Ginsenoside Rg3, a ginsenoside isolated from Panax ginseng , can regulate autophagy via AMP‐activated protein kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin (AMPK/mTOR) signaling pathway. AMPK/mTOR and have been reported to be involved in osteogenesis. Here, the effect Rg3 on ovariectomy (OVX)‐induced osteoporosis is explored. In vivo, rats were treated with 20 mg/kg after OVX body weight (BW) was monitored. Bone mineral density (BMD), hematoxylin–eosin staining femur tissues, osteogenesis,...

The auxin-related gene family adjusts auxin balance and the hormone signaling pathways in plants. ARF (Auxin response factor), GH3 (Gretchen Hagen 3), Aux/IAA (Auxin/indole-3-acetic acid) families, three key components of pathway, are ubiquitous plants function as regulators plant growth to stress. Although members ARF, GH3, families have been identified several species, they not castor bean (Ricinus communis L.), a non-edible oil crop. In this study, bioinformatics methods were used 18...

Castor (Ricinus communis L.), known as castor oil plant or bean, is a non-edible oilseed crop. In the present study, genetic diversity among 54 samples (3 wild and 51 cultivated) collected worldwide was evaluated using inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSRs) random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. A total of 9 ISSR primers produced 83 high-resolution bands with 61 (74.53%) polymorphic. The percentage per primer similarity coefficient ranged from 54.55% (UBC-836) to 100% (UBC-808) 0.74...

ABSTRACT Osteoporosis is mainly caused by an imbalance in osteoclast and osteoblast regulation, resulting bone homeostasis. Ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) has been reported to have a therapeutic effect on alleviating osteoporosis. Nonetheless, the underlying mechanisms not completely elucidated. Herein, molecular mechanism of alleviation osteoporosis was further explored. An vitro model established utilising receptor activator nuclear factor‐kappaB ligand (RANKL) induce differentiation RAW264.7...

Long-term complications occur in approximately 4%-12% of patients with standard transvenous pacemakers (TVPs), most whom are elderly. The leadless pacemaker (LP) has emerged as an effective alternative to traditional TVPs, offering a lower complication profile. However, data on LP implantation octogenarians remain limited, and concerns persist regarding its feasibility safety this population. This study aimed assess the clinical outcomes octogenarians. Between January 2021 2024, 154 (mean...

We aimed to describe the safety and efficacy of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) in elderly patients with heart failure. Patients failure who received CRT or ICDs implantation for first time from 2010 2021 were retrospectively studied. 48 115 (41.7%) underwent 61 174 (35.1%) ≥ 70 years old; these defined as "elderly". The incidence procedure-related complications was did not differ between young patients. median follow-up times group 45...

Introduction Fertilizer selection and application is closely related to crop yield quality. Tartary buckwheat a medicinal food crops, has broad space for development. However, the effect of castor bean meal biofertilizer on growth development, quality buds not clear. The aim this study was elucidate quality, then indirectly bud Methods Tong 3 as test material, in 2 years field trials, no fertilizer, chemical fertilizer cow manure control, total 10 types treatment, respectively, CK (0 kg·ha...

Mesangial cells-mediated glomerulonephritis refers to a category of immunologically mediated glomerular injuries characterized by infiltration circulating inflammatory cells, proliferation mesangial and the common pathological manifestation later stage is renal fibrosis, accompanied excessive accumulation extracellular matrix (ECM). Treatment regimens include glucocorticoids immunosuppressive agents, but their off-target distribution causes severe systemic toxicity. Hence, specific...

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between oil content and seed size in 32 castor accessions. fatty acid composition were determined using Soxhlet extraction method capillary gas chromatography. results indicated that values characteristics very variable. crude fat percentage among accessions ranged from 36.62% 49.19%. ricinoleic highest all compositions, 82.3% 88.6%. other acids appeared at a low (less than 1%). Correlation analysis revealed significantly positively...

Salt stress is one of the main abiotic factors affecting castor yield. Wild resources can provide important insights for cultivated breeding. However, little known about how wild responds or adapts to salt stress. To understand physiological mechanisms tolerance in castor, morphological and responses two varieties, with contrasted were characterized under Seedlings exposed 0, 50, 100 mM NaCl. The results showed that application significantly inhibited increase chlorophyll content relative...

Hybridization is an important evolutionary force, and heterosis describes the phenomenon where hybrids exhibit superior traits compared to their parents. This study aimed evaluate one-hundred-seed weight fatty acid content in F1 generations, investigating effects of different parental crosses using a 9 × 3 incomplete diallel design (NCII). One challenges faced this was complexity accurately determining influence both genetic environmental factors on trait inheritance. A total 36 were...
