Open AccessAnalyses of the sucrose synthase gene family in cotton: structure, phylogeny and expression patterns
In plants, sucrose synthase (Sus) is widely considered as a key enzyme involved in sucrose metabolism. Several paralogous genes encoding different isozymes of Sus have been identified and characterized in mult...

Open AccessGenome-wide investigation and expression analysis suggest diverse roles and genetic redundancy of Pht1 family genes in response to Pi deficiency in tomato
Phosphorus (P) deficiency is one of the major nutrient stresses limiting plant growth. The uptake of P by plants is well considered to be mediated by a number of high-affinity phosphate (Pi) transporters belon...

Open AccessIdentification and expression analysis of OsLPR family revealed the potential roles of OsLPR3 and 5 in maintaining phosphate homeostasis in rice
Phosphorus (P), an essential macronutrient, is often limiting in soils and affects plant growth and development. In Arabidopsis thaliana, Low Phosphate Root1 (LPR1) and its close paralog LPR2 encode multicopper o...

Open AccessAssociations of sclerostin with carotid artery atherosclerosis and all-cause mortality in Chinese patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis
Previous clinical studies found inconsistent relationship between circulating sclerostin levels and treatment outcome in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Therefore, this study aimed to asses...

Open AccessThe relationship between sclerostin and carotid artery atherosclerosis in patients with stage 3–5 chronic kidney disease
Sclerostin is an antagonist of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. We previously reported that sclerostin is closely related to carotid artery atherosclerosis and long-term outcome in hemodialysis patients. The present...

Open AccessCharacterization of two cis-acting elements, P1BS and W-box, in the regulation of OsPT6 responsive to phosphors deficiency
Phosphorus (P) deficiency is one of the major nutrient stresses restricting plant growth. The uptake of P by plants from soil is mainly mediated by the phosphate (Pi) transporters belonging to the PHT1 family....
