Response of nutrient loss to natural erosive rainfall events under typical tillage practices of contour ridge system in the rocky mountain areas of Northern China
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Jun 30. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-28333-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChanges in natural rainfall characterized by heavy precipitation and high rainfall intensity would increase the risks and uncertainty of nutrients losses. Losses of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) with water erosion from agriculture-related activities has become the principal nutrients resulting the eutrophication of water bodies. However, a little attention has been paid to the loss characteristic of N and P responding to natural rainfall in widely used contour ridge systems. To explore the loss mechanism of N and P in ...

Isochlorogenic acid B alleviates lead-induced anxiety, depression and neuroinflammation in mice by the BDNF pathway
In this study, we aimed to investigate the mechanisms of Pb-induced anxiety, depression and neuroinflammation, and the neuroprotective effect of ICAB in mouse brains. We found that ICAB supplementation significantly improved behavioral abnormalities, neuroinflammation and oxidative stress induced by Pb. ICAB attenuated Pb-induced anxiety and depression behavior in mice, as indicated by decreasing the duration of immobility in tail suspension test and increasing the crossing number, rearing number and time in center in open field test. Accordingly, ICAB inhibited oxidative stress by decreasing malondialdehyde (MDA) level an...

Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchoring is required for the proper transport and extensive glycosylation of a classical arabinogalactan protein precursor in tobacco BY-2 cells
Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2023 Jun 22:zbad081. doi: 10.1093/bbb/zbad081. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMany precursors of plant arabinogalctan proteins (AGPs) contains a C-terminal glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchoring signal. Using NtAGP1, a classical tobacco AGP, as a model, and green fluorescent protein (GFP) and sweet potato sporamin (SPO) as tags, we analyzed the localization and modification of AGP and its mutant without GPI-anchoring signal (AGPΔC) in tobacco BY-2 cells. The NtAGP1 fusion proteins migrated as large smear on SDS-polyacrylamide gel and these proteins also localized preferentially to the plasm...

Malabar spinach (Basella alba), amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor), and sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) are leafy vegetables found in Southwest China. The variation of chlorophyll, carotenoids, ascorbic acid, total flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant capacity was studied in the leaves and stems of the three vegetables. The content of main health-promoting compounds and the antioxidant capacity in the leaves were higher than that in the stems, indicating that the leaves of the three vegetables possess greater nutritional value. The trend of total flavonoids in all three vegetables was si...

Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 1263: Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Effect of Lignin on Storage Roots Formation in Two Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) Cultivars

Fuyun Hou
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is one of the most important crops with high storage roots yield. The formation and expansion rate of storage root (SR) plays a crucial role in the production of sweet potato. Lignin affects the SR formation; however, the molecular mechanisms of lignin in SR development have been lacking. To reveal the problem, we performed transcriptome sequencing of SR harvested at 32, 46, and 67 days after planting (DAP) to analyze two sweet potato lines, Jishu25 and Jishu29, in which SR expansion of Jishu29 was early and had a higher yield. A total of 52,137 transcripts and 21,...
