Abstract

Dwarf bamboo is a woody plant with potential for use in the remediation of Pb-contaminated soil. Due to its clonal growth habit, there are two keys to its application for continuous soil Pb remediation: 1) its ability to form shoots and grow into new bamboo normally under Pb stress and 2) the Pb tolerance and accumulation characteristics of this new bamboo. Here, 5 species of dwarf bamboo were treated with 2 levels of soil Pb stress (0 and 1500 mg kg-1). In the roots of 3 of the species (Sasa argenteostriata, Sasaella glabra, and Indocalamus decorus), Pb tended to be distributed along the cell wall and transported to vacuoles. In the other 2 species (Sasa auricoma and Sasa fortunei), Pb was arranged linearly along the cell wall. Under Pb treatment, the new bamboo of all species showed gradual physiological adaptation to Pb stress. Correlations of the net photosynthetic rate, superoxide dismutase activity, and free proline levels with Pb content in new leaves in November were all higher than those in July, though that of malondialdehyde content decreased, suggesting that new dwarf bamboo exhibits good soil Pb stress tolerance. Sasa argenteostriata and Indocalamus decorus consistently maintained higher antioxidant enzyme activiti...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
