Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of cell death accompanied by iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation. Both biotic and abiotic stresses can induce ferroptosis in plant cells. In the case of plant interactions with pathogenic Phytophthora oomycetes, the roles of ferroptosis are still largely unknown. Here, we performed transcriptome analysis on soybean plants treated with the biocontrol agent Pythium oligandrum , a soilb...

Dust weather has an impact on human health and climate change in the Middle East. In this study, we examined the influence of the Arctic Oscillation (AO) on spring dust weather frequency over the Middle East at an interannual timescale during 1974–2019. The results show that there was an interdecadal shift of the influence of AO on dust weather frequency in the Middle East, with a correlation coefficient between the AO index a...

In mammals, the mutation of nipped-B-like protein (nipbl) leads to Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS), characterized by low birth weight, short stature, and structural abnormalities of the skeleton, heart, and gut. In Chinese tongue sole ( Cynoglossus semilaevis ), a typical marine fish exhibiting sexual size dimorphism, the nipbl homolog gene (nipped-B-like protein A (nipbla)) was also screened with female higher expression le...
