Summary: Arsenate (AsV) is a common form of arsenic (As) in the environment, and high-affinity phosphate transporters (PHT1s) are the main transporters for AsV in plants. However, few AsV transporters have been identified in crops. In this study, TaPHT1;9 and TaPHT1;6 were found to have higher AsV absorption capacities compared to TaPHT1;3. The results indicate that TaPHT1;9 and TaPHT1;6 are capable of absorbing AsV, with TaPHT1;9 showing higher activity.

Summary: This study investigated the physiological responses and gene expression in a low zinc-accumulating wheat cultivar (ZM0856) and a high zinc-accumulating cultivar (AK58) under different levels of zinc supply in hydroponic conditions. The results showed that AK58 had better growth advantage as a zinc-sensitive cultivar, while ZM0856 had higher capacity of zinc uptake as a zinc-tolerant cultivar. Gene expression analysis revealed different expression patterns of specific genes in the roots and shoots of the two cultivars under zinc deficiency. Multivariate statistical analysis indicated that subcellular biosynthesis and ZIP gene expression regulation were closely related to zinc uptake and translocation, and adequate zinc supply improved zinc uptake and root-to-shoot translocation.

Summary: In this study, 55 wheat cystatins (TaCystatins) were identified and divided into three groups based on conserved gene structures and peptide motifs. Homoeolog analysis showed that both homoeolog retention percentage and gene duplications contributed to the abundance of the TaCystatin family. Codon usage pattern analysis revealed evident codon usage bias in TaCystatins mainly affected by mutation pressure.

Summary: Iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P) are essential mineral nutrients for plant growth, and their molecular interactions in crops remain unclear. This study analyzed the physiological and molecular responses of hexaploid wheat to individual and combined Fe and P deficiencies, revealing significant gene expression changes and metabolite accumulation, providing insights for developing strategies to enhance crop resilience in limited nutrient conditions.

Summary: In this study, a genome-wide analysis of serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) in wheat was performed, identifying 12 TaSHMT genes classified into different groups. The results showed that these genes were mainly expressed in leaves and stems during the seedling stage and could respond to various abiotic stress. The chromosomal location, synteny, and cis-elements analysis of TaSHMTs were also investigated, along with gene ontology annotation and protein interaction analysis.

Summary: Phosphorus-starvation tolerance 1 (OsPSTOL1) is a gene that promotes crown root growth and phosphorus sufficiency in rice, particularly prevalent in low nutrient and drought-prone rainfed ecosystems. Loss-of-function and absence haplotypes of OsPSTOL1 are more common in control-irrigated paddy varieties in east Asia. Overexpressing OsPSTOL1 in wheat enhances growth and root development under low phosphorus conditions, suggesting its potential value in improving the cultivation of cereal crops.

Summary: The genetic base of wheat glume stomata is not fully understood. This study mapped quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for stomatal traits onto a high-density genetic linkage map of a doubled haploid (DH) population. A total of 61 QTLs were mapped onto 16 chromosomes, and two QTL hotspots were detected. Additionally, five candidate genes were identified, which may play a role in the response of wheat glume stomata to abiotic stresses.

Summary: The aim of this study was to genetically characterize hexaploid wheat Triticum aestivum L. Two approaches were used - complete sequencing of chloroplast DNA and PCR-based haplotype analysis of specific gene regions. The results revealed genetic differences between samples collected in different regions, with samples grouped into two main categories: those collected in Armenia, and those collected in Europe. This study identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in various regions of the wheat genome, providing insights into the genetic diversity and evolutionary history of hexaploid wheats.

Summary: The genetic architecture of resistance to spot blotch in wheat was investigated through a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) involving 303 diverse genotypes. The study evaluated the association panel at two different locations in India and recorded phenotypic data for two consecutive years. After analysis, seven important marker-trait associations were identified for marker-assisted selection.

Summary: Wheat plants were treated with three different levels of phosphate deficiency to study the metabolic adaptations and differences in metabolites. It was found that carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism were more affected in shoots, while secondary metabolism was more affected in roots in both types of phosphate deficiency. Several metabolites highly sensitive to phosphate deficiency were also identified. These findings provide new insights into wheat's metabolic pathways under phosphate deficiency and contribute to better handling of future phosphate scenarios.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different nano fertilizer synergists on nitrogen utilization and gene expression in wheat. The results showed that the addition of nano synergists significantly increased nitrogen accumulation and utilization efficiency, as well as the expression of genes related to nitrogen transport and metabolism. Therefore, the application of nano fertilizer synergists can improve nitrogen utilization and promote gene expression related to nitrogen metabolism.

Summary: This study assessed the safety and immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in patients with thyroid cancer. The results showed that SARS-CoV-2 vaccines (CoronaVac, BBIBP-CorV, and ZF2001) are safe in thyroid cancer patients. However, the duration of immune response is shorter in these patients compared to healthy adults. Therefore, a booster vaccination may be recommended earlier for thyroid cancer patients.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of chloropicrin against Fusarium solani. The results from laboratory and field trials showed that chloropicrin had a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of F. solani. Transmission electron microscopy observations revealed that chloropicrin disrupted the cell membrane of F. solani. In field trials, treated plots with chloropicrin effectively controlled the target pathogen and allowed Panax notoginseng plants to maintain vigorous growth. High-throughput sequencing results showed that chloropicrin had a greater impact on bacterial communities.

Summary: In this study, the positive and negative pressure-ultrasonic method was compared with traditional pickled salted eggs by various physical and chemical indicators. The results showed that the positive and negative pressure-ultrasonic method increased the salt content of egg white and egg yolk rapidly and decreased the moisture content. The method also significantly reduced the curing time and had no obvious difference in the microscopical structure of the egg yolk compared to the traditional method. Furthermore, the pores on the eggshell of the salted egg marinated by the positive and negative pressure-ultrasonic method had big cracks, which facilitated substance exchange.

Summary: This study found that mRNA expression of mitochondrial fusion genes mitoguardin1 and mitoguardin2 was significantly increased in granulosa cells of hyperandrogenic PCOS patients and positively correlated with testosterone levels. The findings suggest that abnormal mitochondrial fusion in ovarian granulosa cells is associated with hyperandrogenism and abnormal steroidogenesis in PCOS.
