Genome-wide identification of bZIP transcription factors and their expression analysis in Platycodon grandiflorus under abiotic stress
The Basic Leucine Zipper (bZIP) transcription factors (TFs) family is among of the largest and most diverse gene families found in plant species, and members of the bZIP TFs family perform important functions in plant developmental processes and stress response. To date, bZIP genes in Platycodon grandiflorus have not been
Identification of male-fertility gene AsaNRF1 and molecular marker development in cultivated garlic (Allium sativum L.)
Garlic cultivars are predominantly characterized by their sterility and reliance on asexual reproduction, which have traditionally prevented the use of hybrid breeding for cultivar improvement in garlic. Our investigation has revealed a notable exception in the garlic line G398, which demonstrates the ability to produce fertile pollen. Notably, at the
LexA, an SOS response repressor, activates TGase synthesis in Streptomyces mobaraensis
Transglutaminase (EC 2.3.2.13, TGase), an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of covalent cross-links between protein or peptide molecules, plays a critical role in commercial food processing, medicine, and textiles. TGase from Streptomyces is the sole commercial enzyme preparation for cross-linking proteins. In this study, we revealed that

The Effects of Ozempic and Other Weight Loss Injections
They're described as wonder drugs for weight loss, but semaglutide — sold under the name Ozempic as a diabetes drug and, in a higher dose, under the name Wegovy as a weight loss drug — and other weight loss injections have a dark side. Semaglutide — the active ingredient in not only Ozempic

Low-dose-rate induces more severe cognitive impairment than highdose-rate in rats exposed to chronic low-dose γ-radiation
Background: Owing to the long penetration depth of gamma (γ)-rays, individuals working in ionizing radiation environments are chronically exposed to low-dose γradiation, resulting in cognitive changes. Dose rate significantly affects radiationinduced biological effects; however, its role in chronic low-dose γ-irradiation-induced cognitive impairment remains unclear. We aimed to investigate whether
Spatial-Temporal Comparison of Eph/Ephrin Gene Expression in Ocular Lenses from Aging and Knockout Mice
Cataracts, defined as any opacity in the transparent ocular lens, remain the leading cause of blindness and visual impairment in the world; however, the etiology of this pathology is not fully understood. Studies in mice and humans have found that the EphA2 receptor and the ephrin-A5 ligand play important roles
