Exploring the Potential Mechanism of Apoptosis Induced by MFSD8 in Endothelial Cells: an RNA Sequencing and Bioinformatics Analysis
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) belong to a group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders without effective treatments. Though loss-of-function in the MFSD8 gene resulting in a variant late-infantile subty...

Open AccessQTL for Sensitivity of Seedling Height to Exogenous GA3 and Their Effects on Adult Plant Height in Common Wheat
Plants with deficiency in Gibberellins (GAs) biosynthesis pathway are sensitive to exogenous GA3, while those with deficiency in GAs signaling pathway are insensitive to exogenous GA3. Thus, exogenous GA3 test...

Co-expression of basic helix–loop–helix protein (bHLH) and transcriptional activator-Myb genes induced anthocyanin biosynthesis in hairy root culture of Nicotiana tabacum L and Ipomea tricolor
Anthocyanins are important plant secondary metabolites with chromone that undergo hydroxylation, methylation, and glycosylation. Some special anthocyanins only reside in special tissues of special plants. The ...
