Background/Objectives: Rehmannia glutinosa, a highly valuable medicinal plant in China, is encountering severe replant disease. Replant disease represents a complex stress driven by multiple principal factors (RDFs), including allelochemicals, microb...

17α-Methyltestosterone (MT) is a widely used androgen for all-male fish production in aquaculture. However, the molecular mechanism underlying MT-induced masculinization remains unclear. In this study, we aim to identify the key gene responsibl...

Plant activators have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional crop protection chemicals for managing crop diseases due to their unique mode of action. By priming the plant’s innate immune system, these compounds can induce disease res...

Background: For the past 25 years, the ITS rDNA (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) of Gyrodactylidae has been crucial for species identification, description, and phylogeny. This family includes 25 genera parasitizing marine and freshwater fish, initially distinguishe...

Background/Objectives: Nitrogen is an essential macroelement for plant growth and productivity. Calcium (Ca2+) acts as a critical second messenger in numerous adaptations and developmental processes in plants. The Calcineurin B-like protein (CBL)-int...

Myocarditis is an inflammatory condition of cardiac tissue presenting significant variability in clinical manifestations and outcomes. Its etiology is diverse, encompassing infectious agents (primarily viruses, but also bacteria, protozoa, and helmin...

Background: Climate change is leading to severe and long-term droughts in European forest ecosystems. can have profound effects on various physiological processes, including photosynthesis, gene expression patterns, and nutrient uptake at the develop...

Background/Objectives: Transgene applications, ranging from gene therapy to the development of stable cell lines and organisms, rely on maintaining the expression of transgenes. To date, the use of plasmid-based transgenes has been limited by the los...

The protein menin is encoded by the MEN1 gene and primarily serves as a nuclear scaffold protein, regulating gene expression through its interaction with and regulation of chromatin modifiers and transcription factors. While the scope of menin’...

Background: Toll-like receptor (TLR), as an important pattern recognition receptor, is a bridge between non-specific immunity and specific immunity, and plays a vital role in the disease resistance of aquatic animals. However, the function of TLR in...
