Molecular identification and validation of four stable QTL for adult-plant resistance to powdery mildew in Chinese wheat cultivar Bainong 64
Four stable QTL for adult-plant resistance (APR) to powdery mildew were identified on chromosome arms 1DL, 2BS, 2DL, and 6BL in the widely grown Chinese wheat cultivar Bainong 64. These QTL had no effect on re...

Quantitative proteomics provides an insight into germination‐related proteins in the plant pathogenic fungi Phomopsis vexans
Phomopsis vexans is a phytopathogenic fungus that causes Phomopsis blight of eggplant. Because spore germination is required for infection, preventing it may be a viable approach to disease management. The proteo...

Open AccessHAO1-mediated oxalate metabolism promotes lung pre-metastatic niche formation by inducing neutrophil extracellular traps
Metabolic reprogramming has been shown to be involved in cancer-induced pre-metastatic niche (PMN) formation, but the underlying mechanisms have been insufficiently explored. Here, we showed that hydroxyacid o...

Open AccessCMTM6 expression in M2 macrophages is a potential predictor of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor response in colorectal cancer
CMTM6 is a novel key regulator of PD-L1. High expression of both CMTM6 and PD-L1 may predict the benefit of PD-1 axis blockade in lung cancer. We aimed to investigate the expression pattern of CMTM6 between mi...
