Key message The m⁶A demethylase ALKBH10B emerges as a crucial post-transcriptional regulator of hormonal crosstalk, photosynthetic maintenance, and mitochondrial energy metabolism to fine-tune plant stress adaptation to drought . Abstract Epitranscriptomic N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) mRNA modification has emerged as an important regulatory layer of gene expression and protein synthesis in plant stress adaptation. In this study, e...

China has abundant bamboo resources, among which Yunnan Province is one of the regions with the greatest number of species. The unique natural and geographic advantages provide an excellent environment for fungal growth. This study collected and isolated saprobic hyphomycetes associated with dead bamboo in Yunnan Province, China. Based on detailed morphological comparisons and multi‐locus phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU,...

Plant pathogenic Nigrospora species have emerged as important threats to rice cultivation worldwide. During an ongoing survey of fungi associated with cultivated rice ( Oryza sativa L.) leaves in Guizhou Province, 11 Nigrospora isolates were recovered from 17 diseased leaf samples collected between April and June 2024. All isolates were obtained from rice leaf spots. Integration of detailed morphological observations with mult...

Background Organophosphate (OP) compounds are widely used agricultural chemicals that pose significant public health and chemical threat concerns due to their neurotoxic effects. Although OP toxicity has classically been attributed to acetylcholinesterase inhibition and cholinergic crisis, emerging evidence suggests mitochondrial dysfunction may represent an additional and clinically relevant mechanism of injury. Experimental...

Gene-environment interactions, leading to immune-brain cross-talk and neuroinflammation are increasingly recognised in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as autistic regression and paediatric acute onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS). Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including ibuprofen, provides relief to some neuropsychiatric symptoms, however, the therapeutic mechanisms are unclear. We describe the benefit of...
