iJAZ-based approach to engineer lepidopteran pest resistance in multiple crop species
The fall armyworm (FAW) poses a significant threat to global crop production. Here we showed that overexpression of jasmonate ZIM-domain (JAZ) protein GhJAZ24 confers resistance to cotton bollworm and FAW, whi...

How does phosphoric acid affect the hygroscopicity and chemical components of poplar thermally modified at low temperatures?
Shorter processes and lower temperatures are critical to reducing thermally modified wood costs. In this study, the exogenous H3PO4 was infiltrated into poplar (Populus × euramaricana) and then heated at low temp...

Open AccessCompeting endogenous RNA network analysis of Turner syndrome patient-specific iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes reveals dysregulation of autosomal heart development genes by altered dosages of X-inactivation esca** non-coding RNAs
A 45,X monosomy (Turner syndrome, TS) is the only chromosome haploinsufficiency compatible with life. Nevertheless, the surviving TS patients still suffer from increased morbidity and mortality, with around on...

Open AccessPredicting active enhancers with DNA methylation and histone modification
Enhancers play a crucial role in gene regulation, and some active enhancers produce noncoding RNAs known as enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) bi-directionally. The most commonly used method for detecting eRNAs is CAGE-seq...

Circ-SFMBT2 sponges miR-224-5p to induce ketamine-induced cystitis by up-regulating metadherin (MTDH)
There is increasing evidence that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play significant roles in various biological processes, yet few reports have examined their roles and molecular mechanisms in ketamine-induced cystiti...

Open AccessRegulation of fungal raw-starch-degrading enzyme production depends on transcription factor phosphorylation and recruitment of the Mediator complex
Filamentous fungus can produce raw-starch-degrading enzyme (RSDE) that efficiently degrades raw starch below starch gelatinization temperature. Employment of RSDE in starch processing can save energy. A key pu...
