Transcriptome, proteome and functional characterization reveals salt stress tolerance mechanisms in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Uncovering the underlying mechanism of salt tolerance is important to breed cotton varieties with improved salt tolerance.In this study, transcriptome and proteome sequencing were performed on upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) variety under salt stress, and integrated analysis was carried out to exploit salt-tolerance genes in cotton.Enrichment

Circulating Levels of Epirubicin Cause Endothelial Senescence While Compromising Metabolic Activity and Vascular Function

Anthracycline-based chemotherapy is a common treatment for cancer patients.Because it is delivered intravenously, endothelial cells are exposed first and to the highest concentrations, prior to diffusion to target cells.Not surprisingly, vascular dysfunction is a consequence of anthracycline therapy.While chemotherapy-induced endothelial damage at

Virome of Giant Panda-Infesting Ticks Reveals Novel Bunyaviruses and Other Viruses That Are Genetically Close to Those from Giant Pandas

ABSTRACT Tick infestations have been reported as one of the factors threatening the health of giant pandas, but studies of viral pathogens carried by ticks feeding on the blood of giant pandas are limited.To assess whether blood-sucking ticks of giant pandas can carry viral pathogens and if so, whether the viruses in ticks are associated with those
