Lysosomes can degrade various biological macromolecules, including nucleic acids, proteins and lipids. Recently, we identified novel nucleic acid-degradation systems termed RNautophagy/DNautophagy (abbreviated as RDA), in which RNA and DNA are directly taken up by lysosomes in an ATP-dependent manner and degraded. We also found that a lysosomal membrane protein, LAMP2C, the cytoplasmic region o...

Genetic mechanisms regulating CNS progenitor function and differentiation are not well understood. We have used microarrays derived from a representational difference analysis (RDA) subtraction in a heterogeneous stem cell culture system to systematically study the gene expression patterns of CNS progenitors. This analysis identified both known and novel genes enriched in progenitor cultures. I...

Resource Description & Access (RDA) is intended to provide a flexible and extensible framework that can accommodate all types of content and media within rapidly evolving digital environments while also maintaining compatibility with the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd edition (AACR2). The cataloging community is grappling with practical issues in navigating the transition from AACR2 to R...

The importance of understory vegetation cannot be denied as an integral component forest ecosystems, but there is a dearth studies to explore the effects environmental variables and canopy species on its diversity composition. Here we investigated overstory stand structure in old-growth Monotheca buxifolia dominated forests with considerable co-dominance other broadleaved by using ecologically ...

Nettle (Urtica cannabina) is an excellent feed resource widely distributed worldwide. Phyllosphere microbes are important as they have living conditions similar to those of the above-ground parts host plants. Exploring amino acids (AA) and microorganisms can further understand growth plants in different seasons. The present study investigated content AA phyllosphere microbes’ structure nettle r...

Forest gaps create a favorable microenvironment for the growth of soil microbial community. This study aimed to explore effects gap-related microenvironmental heterogeneity on bacterial communities in Larix principis-rupprechtii Mayr forest gaps. Therefore, redundancy analysis (RDA) and structure equations modeling (SEM) affecting elements were further used test significance gaps’ effect commun...

Biochar is a potential amendment for the remediation of Cd-contaminated soils. Although immobilization effect biochar on soil Cd has been studied under indoor laboratory conditions, rice uptake and fractions field conditions still poorly understood. Here, content different organs in were characterized three years after application amounts (0, 7.5, 15, 30 t ha−1, 3 ha−1 year−1). The brown rice, ...
