IDENTIFICATION OF GRAPE NRT GENE FAMILY AND ANALYSIS OF ITS EXPRESSION IN LEAVES UNDER NITROGEN-DEFICIENCY STRESS

Identification of Grape NRT Gene Family and Analysis of Its Expression in Leaves Under Nitrogen-Deficiency Stress

Nitrogen, an indispensable macronutrient, significantly affects the appearance, quality, and yield of grapes (Vitis vinifera).Adequate nitrate uptake and intracellular transport, facilitated primarily by nitrate transport (NRT) proteins, are crucial for maintaining nutritional balance.However, there are no reports on the NRT gene family in grapes.I

Induction of IgG3 to LPS via Toll-like receptor 4 co-stimulation.

B-cells integrate antigen-specific signals transduced via the B-cell receptor (BCR) and antigen non-specific co-stimulatory signals provided by cytokines and CD40 ligation in order to produce IgG antibodies.Toll-like receptors (TLRs) also provide co-stimulation, but the requirement for TLRs to generate T-cell independent and T-cell dependent antige

Inhibition of Uncoupling Protein 2 Attenuates Cardiac Hypertrophy Induced by Transverse Aortic Constriction in Mice

Background: Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) is critical in regulating energy metabolism.Due to the significant change in energy metabolism of myocardium upon pressure overload, we hypothesize that UCP2 could contribute to elliot pecan tree for sale the etiology of cardiac hypertrophy.Methods: Adult male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to pressure overload
