The fruits of Siraitia grosvenorii have been used as a natural sweetening agent for centuries and have also been reported to aid diabetic patients. Mogroside V is the primary sweet compound in S. grosvenorii fruit. In this study, we show that different pollen sources had a direct influence on the mogroside V content in S. grosvenorii fruit. The changes in the activities of carbohydrate metabolism-related...
Screening and breeding of pollution-safe cultivars (PSCs) has become one of the most direct and cost-effective methods for reducing the health risks of heavy metal-contaminated soil. In this paper we identified and screened out cadmium (Cd)-pollution-safe pakchoi cultivars from 30 pakchoi genetype materials through preliminary screening experiments and re-screening experiments in field conditions...
Despite the perceived importance of humin to forest ecosystem C sequestration, few studies have attempted to examine the responses to elevated temperature (ET, +2.5ºC) and elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (EC, 700 ppm) on the chemical structures of humin. Solid-state 13C cross-polarization magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (13C CPMAS NMR) spectroscopy was applied to evaluate the...
The Huaihe River Basin is located in-between the north-south climate transitional zone in China and is China’s important congested area and production base. The land-use of the environment was occupied by the land-use for social and economics. This paper aims to have a comprehensive understanding about land-use and vegetation evolution of the basin over the past 30 years. In view of 5 years (1985,...
Background: The miRNA cluster miR-17-92 is known to act as an oncogene in various cancers. Members of this cluster were also found to be involved in some other pathological process, such as steatosis, which is a pivotal event in the initiation and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study aimed to explore whether miR-17, one of the most functional miRNAs in the miR-17-92...
Background: Our previous study showed that during in vitro experiments changes in calcium concentration were associated with apoptosis. We presumed that the calcium ion might play a role as intermediate messenger for apoptosis-related genes. No such evidence has been reported in the literature. Here, we investigate the effect of calcium ionophore A23187 on the apoptosis of rat hepatic stellate cells...
Senna obtusifolia L. is an important medicinal plant in Asia. This study was the first report on the genetic diversity and population structure of S. obtusifolia which were collected from 47 geographic populations widespread in China. Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) and Start Codon Target Polymorphism (SCoT) combined with seeds morphological traits were used to investigate the relationship of...
It will be a new approach that BIM’s capital project lifecycle management (CPLM) applied to the yacht industry. This paper explored the feasibility of applying the principles and rationales of BIM for capital project lifecycle management in luxury yacht design, engineering, fabrication, construction and operation. The paper examined the premises and backbone technology of BIM. It then evaluated leading...
Heat stress is a major environmental stress that limits plant growth and yield worldwide. The present study was carried out to explore the physiological mechanism of heat tolerant to provide the theoretical basis for heat-tolerant breeding. The changes of leaf morphology, anatomy, nitrogen assimilation, and carbohydrate metabolism in two wucai genotypes (WS-1, heat tolerant; WS-6, heat sensitive)...
