Although Blufensins (Bln) have important functions in the response of plants to biotic stress the precise functioning of Bln in wheat remains largely unknown.Here we isolated a Bln gene (TaBln4) from Suwon 11 infected by Puccinia striiformis f.sp.tritici (Pst).Expression of TaBln4 increased in host plants at the early stage of infection with a Carg
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) shows poor prognosis owing to its very frequent recurrence even after curative treatment.Thus, an effective and safe long-term chemopreventive agent is strongly in demand.Menahydroquinone-4 (MKH) is an active form of menaquinone-4 (MK-4, vitamin K2) that is involved in the synthesis of vitamin K-dependent proteins in
Graphene oxide (GO) with its atomic thickness and abundant functional groups holds great potential in molecular-scale membrane separation.However, constructing high-speed and highly selective water transport channels within GO membranes remains a key challenge.Herein, sulfonato calix[n]arenes (SCn) molecules with a cavity structure, hydrophilic ent
Background: Jatropha curcas L.(further referred to as Jatropha), as a rapidly emerging biofuel crop, has attracted worldwide interest.However, Jatropha is still an undomesticated plant, the true potential of this shrub has not yet been fully realized.To explore the potential of Jatropha, breeding and domestication are needed.Seed size is one of the
