With the intensification of the greenhouse effect, a series of natural phenomena, such as global warming, are gradually recognized; when the ambient temperature increases to the extent that it causes heat stress in plants, agricultural production will inevitably be affected. Therefore, several issues associated with heat stress in crops urgently ne...

How to improve the yield of crops has always been the focus of breeding research. Due to the population growth and global climate change, the demand for food has increased sharply, which has brought great challenges to agricultural production. In order to make up for the limitation of global cultivated land area, it is necessary to further improve...

qRT-PCR is one of the widely used methods for analysing the expression levels of specific genes, which requires reliable experimental results with the aid of stably-expressed reference genes. Although there are some common housekeeping genes, many experiments have proved that the expression of these genes can change under different experimental con...

To construct a rapid read-out analytical platform for detecting histamine in foods, a self-visualization nanomaterial was prepared by stable doping of ninhydrin into TiO2 nanoparticles ([email protected]2) using a sol-gel strategy, and it was printed onto the target zone for histamine on a high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) strip ba...

Wheat is a major food crop worldwide. The plant architecture is a complex trait mostly influenced by plant height, tiller number, and leaf morphology. Plant height plays a crucial role in lodging and thus affects yield and grain quality. In this study, a wheat population was genotyped by using Illumina iSelect 90K single nucleotide polymorphism (SN...

As the progenitor of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) and common wheat (T. aestivum L.), wild emmer wheat (T. turgidum L. subsp. dicoccoides, TTD) has many valuable alleles for enlarging the genetic pool of common wheat. Chromosome arm substitution lines (CASLs) are useful genetic resources producing genome‐wide variations in the background of ce...

Background: Wheat is a staple food crop worldwide. Plant height is a key factor in plant architecture as it plays a crucial role in lodging and thus affects yield and quality. Genome-wide studies are mostly applied in crop plants, due to its advanced genotyping technologies, identification of novel loci, and improved statistical approaches. Results...

Heading date (HD) is an important agronomic trait, influencing directly or indirectly yield and quality traits. Previous experiments showed that the chromosome arm substitution line (CASL) 4AL of wild emmer in the background of Chinese Spring (CS) was about 18–22 days later in HD than CS. In this study, CASL4AL flowered roughly 20 days earlier than...

Nonrandom segregation ratios of alleles ‘segregation distortion’ can have a striking impact on transmission genetics, and with widespread availability of genetic markers has been shown to be a frequent phenomenon. To investigate the possible effect of genetic interaction on segregation distortion and genetic map construction, the segregation and ma...

As the most important major food crop, rice (Oryza sativa) often suffers from heat stress in tropical and subtropical regions. Thus, to investigate the mechanisms of responses and tolerance to heat stress (HS) at the miRNA level is important for breeding new rice varieties with HS tolerance. In this study, six miRNA libraries (with duplicates for e...

As one of the most vital major food crops feeding almost half the earth's population, rice often suffers from heat stress in tropical and subtropical regions. To study rice heat stress tolerance mechanism is critical for breeding new heat tolerant rice varieties. We performed RNA-Seq analysis to check rice transcriptomic differences responsive to h...

Significance New discoveries have been continuously made in recent years on the roles of noncoding RNAs in regulating biological processes. Phased small-interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs) may be the newest member discovered in recent years. The photoperiod-sensitive male sterility (PSMS) rice is a very valuable germplasm that started the era of two-line...

To determine whether motor outcomes of an exercise intervention beginning at 2 months corrected age (CA) in children with periventricular brain injury (PBI) are correlated with fractional anisotropy (FA) measures derived from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) at 12 months CA. DTI was performed in eight infants with PBI who were randomly assigned to ki...

Preterm infants with periventricular brain injury (PBI) have a high incidence of atypical development and leg movements. Determine whether kicking and treadmill stepping intervention beginning at 2 months corrected age (CA) in children with PBI improves motor function at 12 months CA when compared with control subjects. In a multi-center pilot stud...

Deregulations of microRNA have been frequently observed in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC), but their roles in tumorigenesis are not entirely clear. Here, we reported the up-regulation of miR-24 in TSCC. MiR-24 up-regulation reduced the expression of RNA-binding protein dead end 1 (DND1). Knockdown of miR-24 led to enhanced expression of DND1...

Tumor metastasis is the dominant cause of death in cancer patients, including patients with oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC). Previously, we reported that reduced miR-138 level is correlated with enhanced metastatic potential in TSCC cells. Here, we demonstrate that miR-138 suppresses TSCC cell migration and invasion by regulating 2 key g...

Metastasis is a critical event in the progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). To identify microRNAs associated with HNSCC metastasis, six paired HNSCC cell lines with different metastatic potential were examined. Using microarrays, a panel of differentially expressed microRNAs was identified, including reduction of miR-138 in...

Mitochondrial tumor suppressor gene 1 (MTUS1) has been recently identified as a candidate tumor suppressor gene which resides in a genomic region (8p22) that shows frequent loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in several tumor types. It has been suggested that multiple gene promoters and alternative splicing lead to the expression of 5 known MTUS1 transcri...

MicroRNA deregulation is involved in tumor initiation and progression. The aim of this study was to identify and validate the microRNA candidates that contribute to the metastasis of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC). Using microarrays, a panel of differentially expressed microRNAs was identified in paired OTSCC cell lines with different...

Head and neck/oral cancer (HNOC) is a devastating disease. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, mortality rates have not improved significantly over the past three decades. Improvement in patient survival requires a better understanding of the disease progression so that HNOC can be detected early in the disease process and targeted therape...

Pms1, a locus for photoperiod sensitive genic male sterility in rice, was identified and mapped to chromosome 7 in previous studies. Here we report an effort to identify the candidate genes for Pms1 by comparative sequencing of BAC clones from two cultivars Minghui 63 and Nongken 58, the parents for the initial mapping population. Annotation and co...
