Integration of physiological and transcriptomic analyses unveils the drought resistance mechanism in Solanum tuberosum L.

Drought constitutes a significant limiting factor globally, impacting plant growth and development while constraining productivity, with its influence intensifying under global climate change. China’s primary potato-producing regions predominantly lie within arid and semi-arid zo...

Isoform Ratio Rather than Total Content Determines Nonlinear Bioactivity of Red Kidney Bean Phytohemagglutinin in Mice

Abstract Red kidney bean phytohemagglutinin (PHA) is an isolectin system of erythroagglutinating (PHA-E) and leucoagglutinating (PHA-L) subunits, but the biological significance of the natural ratio remains unclear. Here, natural PHA fractions with stepwise PHA-E/PHA-L ratios (N1...
