EARLY INDUCTION OF THE ARABIDOPSIS GSTF8 PROMOTER BY SPECIFIC STRAINS OF THE FUNGAL PATHOGEN RHIZOCTONIA SOLANI

Early Induction of the Arabidopsis GSTF8 Promoter by Specific Strains of the Fungal Pathogen Rhizoctonia solani

The Arabidopsis glutathione S-transferase GSTF8 promoter directs root-specific responses to stress.In this study, the response of this promoter to plant infection with Rhizoctonia solani was investigated using a luciferase reporter system.Arabidopsis seedlings harboring the GSTF8:luciferase construct were monitored in vivo for bioluminescence follo

Gentiopicroside improves high-fat diet-induced NAFLD in association with modulation of host serum metabolome and gut microbiome in mice

ObjectiveThe incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is increasing every year, and there is growing evidence that metabolites and intestinal bacteria play a causal role in NAFLD.Gentiopicroside, a major iridoids compound in gentian, has been reported to reduce hepatic lipid accumulation.However to date, no studies have confirmed whether the
