Multi-omics and physiological analyses provide insights into the mechanism of Golgi manganese homeostasis in regulating the development of young tissues in rice

Manganese (Mn) is indispensable for numerous Golgi-resident enzymatic reactions, and disruption of its homeostasis severely impairs plant growth. However, the regulatory mechanisms through which Mn dysregulation affects these metabolic processes remain largely uncharacterized. In...

OsDUF1223 negatively regulates seedling drought tolerance and modulates nitrate-dependent root growth in rice

Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) is a major staple food crop worldwide. Drought stress induced by extreme weather severely limits its growth and yield. Proteins containing domains of unknown function (DUF) play important roles in plant stress responses, but their regulatory mechanisms rem...

Alcohol Use Severity Among Hispanic Emerging Adult College Students: Examining Acculturation Stress, Self-Esteem, and Resilience in a Stress and Coping Framework

Research on acculturation stress and its effects on alcohol-related outcomes among Hispanics has been the subject of many studies. However, these studies are limited because they generally use a single measure of acculturation stress to account for this complex construct, and mos...
