| 3 | Risk factors and therapeutic response in Chinese patients with peptic ulcer disease显示文摘AIM:To assess the risk factors and the eff icacy of medications of patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers among Chinese patients in Taiwan.METHODS:Patients with peptic ulcers,diagnosed by upper endoscopy,were retrospectively collected between January 2008 and December 2008.The differences were compared.RESULTS:Among all 448 cases,254(56.6%) and 194(43.4%) patients had gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers respectively.Patients with gastric ulcers were younger than those with duodenal ulcers.Although more men existed,there was a female predominance in middle-aged cases.Patients with duodenal ulcers had a higher rate of Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) infection(62.4% vs 43.3%,P = 0.001),and those with gastric ulcers owned a significantly higher amount of aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug(NSAID) use(7.5% vs 1.5%,6.7% vs 2.1%,P = 0.001).Tobacco smoking and alcohol drinking had no different impact between these two groups.Proton-pump inhibitors and H2-receptor antagonists(H2RA) were effective,but significantly less so in cases with duodenal ulcers receiving H2RAs,or in those with H.pylori infection and a history of NSAID use.CONCLUSION:Patients with gastric ulcers had lower H.pylori infection but more aspirin or NSAID use.Antisecretory therapy was ineffective in gastric ulcers underwent H2RA treatment,and cases combined H.pylori infection and NSAID use. | Shou-Wu Lee Teng-Yu Lee Hong-Zen Yeh Chun-Fang Tung Yen-Chun Peng | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,16: | 19 |
| 4 | Electroacupuncture regulates the stress-injury-repair chain of events after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury显示文摘Inflammation after stroke is the main cause of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. Cascading events after injury can lead to cell death. Heat shock protein 70 and other endogenous injury-signaling molecules are released by damaged cells, which can lead to systemic stress reactions. Protecting the brain through repair begins with the stress-injury-repair signaling chain. This study aimed to verify whether acupuncture acts through this chain to facilitate effective treatment of ischemic stroke. Rat models of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury were established by Zea Longa's method, and injury sites were identified by assessing neurological function, 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining, and hematoxylin-eosin staining. Electroacupuncture at acupoints Baihui(DU20) and Zusanli(ST36) was performed in the model rats with dilatational waves, delivered for 20 minutes a day at 2–100 Hz and an amplitude of 2 m A. We analyzed the blood serum from the rats and found that inflammatory cytokines affected the levels of adrenotrophin and heat shock protein 70, each of which followed a similar bimodal curve. Specifically, electroacupuncture lowered the peak levels of adrenocorticotrophic hormone and heat shock protein 70. Thus, electroacupuncture was able to inhibit excessive stress, reduce inflammation, and promote the repair of neurons, which facilitated healing of ischemic stroke. | Peng Shi Lin-lin Sun Yi-shuo Lee Ya Tu | 2017 | Neural Regeneration Research2017,12,6: | 14 |
| 5 | Effect of heat treatment on LPSO morphology and mechanical properties of Mg-Zn-Y-Gd alloys显示文摘The mechanical properties and microstructure were investigated under different Zn content and heat treatment conditions in a Mg-Zn-YGd cast alloy.A part of the long period stacking order(LPSO)phases transformed to W-M^ZnaRE?phases with an increase in Zn content from 0.9 at.%to 1.8 at.%,and the ultimate tensile strength(UTS)increased from 229 MPa to 248 MPa.With solution treatment at 480°C,the content of the LPSO phase and strength sharply decreased in the Mg-1.8Zn-0.8Y-0.8Gd alloy,whereas this change was not significantly observed in the Mg-0.9Zn-O.8Y-O.8Gd alloy.After solution treatment,the elongation significantly improved and the UTS sharply decreased in both alloys.The lamellar and filminess LPSO phases were observed with aging treatment at 200℃.Moreover,the strengthening efficiency of lamellar and filminess LPSO phases was lower than that of the block LPSO phases.Therefore,the UTS of the T6 state was lower than that of the as-cast alloy. | Hongxin Liao Jonghyun Kim Taekyung Lee Jiangfeng Song Jian Peng Bin Jiang Fusheng Pan | 2020 | Journal of Magnesium and Alloys2020,8,4: | 14 |
| 6 | Adjuvant heparanase inhibitor PI-88 therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence显示文摘AIM: To demonstrate that administering heparanase inhibitor PI-88 at 160 mg/d is safe and promising in reducing hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) recurrence for up to 3 year following curative resection. METHODS: A total of 143 patients(83.1% of the 172 participants in the phase Ⅱ study) participated in the follow-up study. Of these patients, 50 had received no treatment, 48 had received 160 mg/d PI-88, and 45 had received 250 mg/d PI-88 during the phase Ⅱ trial. Safety parameters and the following efficacy endpoints were investigated:(1) time to recurrence;(2) diseasefree survival; and(3) overall survival. RESULTS: PI-88 at 160 mg/d delayed the onset and frequency of HCC recurrence, and provided a clinically significant survival advantage for up to 3 years after treatment compared with those of the control group:(1) the recurrence-free rate increased from 50% to 63%, and(2) time to recurrence at the 36 th percentile was postponed by 78%. The efficacy of administering PI-88 at 250 mg/d was confounded by a high dropout rate(11 out of 54 patients). Additionally, subgroup analyses of patients with(1) multiple tumors or a single tumor ≥ 2 cm; and(2) hepatitis B or C revealed that administering PI-88 at 160 mg/d conferred the most significant survival advantage(56.8% improvement in disease-free survival, P = 0.045) for patients with both risk factors for recurrence. CONCLUSION: Administering PI-88 at 160 mg/d is a safe and well-tolerated dosage that may confer significant clinical benefits for patients with HCC. | Chun-Jen Liu Juliana Chang Po-Huang Lee Deng-Yn Lin Cheng-Chung Wu Long-Bin Jeng Yih-Jyh Lin King-Tong Mok Wei-Chen Lee Hong-Zen Yeh Ming-Chih Ho Sheng-Shun Yang Mei-Due Yang Ming-Chin Yu Rey-Heng Hu Cheng-Yuan Peng Kuan-Lang Lai Stanley Shi-Chung Chang Pei-Jer Chen | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,32: | 11 |

| 8 | The association of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome in a Chinese population显示文摘BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) is associated with features of metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between NAFLD and metabolic syndrome in a Chinese population. METHODS: Data from subjects were retrospectively collected from 2006 to 2009. The exclusion criteria included significant consumption of alcohol and chronic hepatitis B and C. The patients were assigned to two groups according to ultrasound findings: normal group and fatty liver group. The liver function of patients was determined by assessing serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT). Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed based on the 2005 International Diabetes Federation criteria. RESULTS: A total of 7568 subjects were enrolled and 5736(75.8%) and 1832(24.2%) patients were assigned to the normal and fatty liver groups, respectively. The fatty liver group had significant male predominance(69.7% vs 56.0%), higher body mass index(mean, 26.67 vs 23.55 kg/m^2) compared with the normal group. There were 441(7.7%) and 377(20.6%) cases with metabolic syndrome in the normal and fatty liver groups, respectively, with significant difference(P=0.001), and the subgroup of 385 cases with fatty liver and elevated ALT had higher prevalence(28.8%) of metabolic syndrome. The strongest association of an individual component of metabolic syndrome with NAFLD was hyperlipidemia(adjusted OR=2.55, 95% CI: 2.22-2.94).CONCLUSION: The individuals with NAFLD had a higher ratio of metabolic syndrome. Hyperlipidemia had the strongest positive association with NAFLD. | Shou-Wu Lee Teng-Yu Lee Sheng-Shun Yang Yen-Chun Peng Hong-Zen Yeh Chi-Sen Chang | 2017 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2017,16,2: | 10 |

| 10 | Landslide susceptibility modeling based on ANFIS with teaching-learning-based optimization and Satin bowerbird optimizer显示文摘As threats of landslide hazards have become gradually more severe in recent decades,studies on landslide prevention and mitigation have attracted widespread attention in relevant domains.A hot research topic has been the ability to predict landslide susceptibility,which can be used to design schemes of land exploitation and urban development in mountainous areas.In this study,the teaching-learning-based optimization(TLBO)and satin bowerbird optimizer(SBO)algorithms were applied to optimize the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system(ANFIS)model for landslide susceptibility mapping.In the study area,152 landslides were identified and randomly divided into two groups as training(70%)and validation(30%)dataset.Additionally,a total of fifteen landslide influencing factors were selected.The relative importance and weights of various influencing factors were determined using the step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis(SWARA)method.Finally,the comprehensive performance of the two models was validated and compared using various indexes,such as the root mean square error(RMSE),processing time,convergence,and area under receiver operating characteristic curves(AUROC).The results demonstrated that the AUROC values of the ANFIS,ANFIS-TLBO and ANFIS-SBO models with the training data were 0.808,0.785 and 0.755,respectively.In terms of the validation dataset,the ANFISSBO model exhibited a higher AUROC value of 0.781,while the AUROC value of the ANFIS-TLBO and ANFIS models were 0.749 and 0.681,respectively.Moreover,the ANFIS-SBO model showed lower RMSE values for the validation dataset,indicating that the SBO algorithm had a better optimization capability.Meanwhile,the processing time and convergence of the ANFIS-SBO model were far superior to those of the ANFIS-TLBO model.Therefore,both the ensemble models proposed in this paper can generate adequate results,and the ANFIS-SBO model is recommended as the more suitable model for landslide susceptibility assessment in the study area considered due to its excellent accuracy and efficiency. | Wei Chen Xi Chen Jianbing Peng Mahdi Panahi Saro Lee | 2021 | Geoscience Frontiers2021,12,1: | 9 |

| 12 | Subvoxel light-sheet microscopy for high-resolution high-throughput volumetric imaging of large biomedical specimens显示文摘A key challenge when imaging whole biomedical specimens is how to quickly obtain massive cellular information over a large field of view(FOV).We report a subvoxel light-sheet microscopy(SLSM)method enabling high-throughput volumetric imaging of mesoscale specimens at cellular resolution.A nonaxial,continuous scanning strategy is developed to rapidly acquire a stack of large-FOV images with three-dimensional(3-D)nanoscale shifts encoded.Then,by adopting a subvoxel-resolving procedure,the SLSM method models these low-resolution,cross-correlated images in the spatial domain and can iteratively recover a 3-D image with improved resolution throughout the sample.This technique can surpass the optical limit of a conventional light-sheet microscope by more than three times,with high acquisition speeds of gigavoxels per minute.By fast reconstruction of 3-D cultured cells,intact organs,and live embryos,SLSM method presents a convenient way to circumvent the trade-off between mapping large-scale tissue(>100 mm3)and observing single cell(∼1-μm resolution).It also eliminates the need of complicated mechanical stitching or modulated illumination,using a simple light-sheet setup and fast graphics processing unit-based computation to achieve high-throughput,high-resolution 3-D microscopy,which could be tailored for a wide range of biomedical applications in pathology,histology,neuroscience,etc. | Peng Fei Jun Nie Juhyun Lee Yichen Ding Shuoran Li Hao Zhang Masaya Hagiwara Tingting Yu Tatiana Segura Chih-Ming Ho Dan Zhu Tzung KHsiaic | 2019 | Advanced Photonics2019,1,1: | 6 |
| 13 | Dispersion stability of thermal nanofluids显示文摘Thermal nanofluids, the engineered fluids with dispersed functional nanoparticles, have exhibited extraordinary thermophysical properties and added functionalities, and thus have enabled a broad range of important applications. The poor dispersion stability of thermal nanofluids, however, has been considered as a longexisting issue that limits their further development and practical application. This review overviews the recent efforts and progresses in improving the dispersion stability of thermal nanofluids such as mechanistic understanding of dispersion behavior of nanofluids, examples of both water-based and oil-based nanofluids,strategies to stabilize nanofluids, and characterization techniques for dispersion behavior of nanofluids. Finally,on-going research needs, and possible solutions to research challenges and future research directions in exploring stably dispersed thermal nanofluids are discussed. | Fan Yu Yingying Chen Xingbo Liang Jiale Xu Chiahsun Lee Qi Liang Peng Tao Tao Deng | 2017 | Progress in Natural Science:Materials International2017,27,5: | 5 |
| 14 | Impact of body mass index and gender on quality of life in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease显示文摘AIM:To investigate the symptom presentation and quality of life in obese Chinese patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD).METHODS:Data from patients diagnosed with GERD according to the Montreal definition,were collected between January 2009 to March 2010.The enrolled patients were assigned to the normal [body mass index(BMI) < 25 kg/m 2 ],overweight(25-30 kg/m 2),and obese(BMI > 30 kg/m 2) groups.General demographic data,endoscopic findings,and quality of life of the three groups of patients were analyzed and compared.RESULTS:Among the 173 enrolled patients,102,56 and 15 patients were classified in the normal,overweight,and obese,respectively.There was significantly more erosive esophagitis(73.3% vs 64.3% vs 39.2%,P = 0.002),hiatal hernia(60% vs 33.9% vs 16.7%,P = 0.001),and males(73.3% vs 73.2% vs 32.4%,P = 0.001) in the obese cases.The severity and frequency of heartburn,not acid regurgitation,was positively correlated with BMI,with a significant association in men,but not in women.Obese patients were prone to have low quality of life scores,with obese women having the lowest scores for mental health.CONCLUSION:In patients with GERD,obese men had the most severe endoscopic and clinical presentation.Obese women had the poorest mental health. | Shou-Wu Lee Han-Chung Lien Chi-Sen Chang Yen-Chun Peng Chung-Wang Ko Ming-Chih Chou | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,36: | 5 |
| 15 | Friction Behavior of Magnetorheological Fluids with Different Material Types and Magnetic Field Strength显示文摘Magnetorheological(MR) fluid is a type of a smart material that can control its mechanical properties under a magnetic field. Iron particles in MR fluid form chain structures in the direction of an applied magnetic field, which is known as MR effect, resulting in variation of stiffness, shear modulus, damping and tribological characteristics of MR fluid. As MR effect depends on the density of particles in the fluid or the strength of a magnetic field, the experiments are conducted to evaluate the friction property under reciprocating motion by changing the types of MR fluid and the strength of a magnetic field. The material of aluminum, brass, and steel are chosen for specimen as they are the most common material in mechanical applications. The surfaces of specimen are also observed by optical microscope before and after experiments to compare the surfaces with test conditions. The comparing results show that the friction coefficient increases as the strength of a magnetic field increases in regardless of types of MR fluid or the material. Also the density of particle in MR fluid affects the friction characteristic. The results from this research can be used to improve the performance of mechanical applications using MR fluid. | ZHANG Peng LEE Kwang-Hee LEE Chul-Hee | 2016 | Chinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering2016,29,1: | 5 |
| 16 | Health disparities are associated with gastric cancer mortality-to-incidence ratios in 57 countries显示文摘AIM To evaluate the association between mortality-to-incidence ratios(MIRs) and health disparities.METHODS In this study, we used the GLOBOCAN 2012 database to obtain the cancer incidence and mortality data for 57 countries, and combined this information with the World Health Organization(WHO) rankings and total expenditures on health/gross domestic product(e/GDP). The associations between variables and MIRs were analyzed by linear regression analyses and the 57 countries were selected according to their data quality. RESULTS The more developed regions showed high gastric cancer incidence and mortality crude rates, but lower MIR values than the less developed regions(0.64 vs 0.80, respectively). Among six continents, Oceania had the lowest(0.60) and Africa had the highest(0.91) MIR. A good WHO ranking and a high e/GDP were significantly associated with low MIRs(P = 0.001 and P = 0.001, respectively).CONCLUSION The MIR variation for gastric cancer would predict regional health disparities. | Ming-Chang Tsai Chi-Chih Wang Hsiang-Lin Lee Cheng-Ming Peng Tzu-Wei Yang Hsuan-Yi Chen Wen-Wei Sung Chun-Che Lin | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,44: | 5 |
| 17 | Impact of time to surgery from injury on postoperative infection and deep vein thrombosis in periprosthetic knee fractures显示文摘Purpose:Periprosthetic fracture (PPF) is a serious complication that occurs in 0.3%-2.5% of all total knee arthroplasties used to treat end-stage arthritis. To our knowledge, there are no studies in the literature that evaluate the association between time to surgery after PPF and early postoperative infections or deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This study tests our hypothesis that delayed time to surgery increases rates of postoperative infection and DVT after PPF surgery.Methods:Our study cohort included patients undergoing PPF surgery in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (2006-2015). The patients were dichotomized based on time to surgery: group 1 with time ≤2 days and group 2 with time >2 days. A 2-by-2 contingency table and Fisher's exact test were used to evaluate the association between complications and time to surgery groups, and multivariate logistic regression was used to adjust for demographics and known risk factors.Results:A total of 263 patients (80% females) with a mean age of 73.9 ± 12.0 years were identified receiving PPF surgery, among which 216 patients were in group 1 and 47 patients in group 2. Complications in group 1 included 3 (1.4%) superficial infections (SI), 1 (0.5%) organ space infection (OSI), 1 (0.5%) wound dehiscence (WD), and 4 (1.9%) deep vein thrombosis (DVT);while complications in group 2 included 1 (2.1%) SI, 1 (2.1%) OSI, 1 (2.1%) DVT, and no WD. No significant difference was detected in postoperative complications between the two groups. However, patients in group 2 were more likely (p = 0.0013) to receive blood transfusions (57.5%) than those in group 1 (32.4%).Conclusion:Our study indicates patients with delayed time to surgery have higher chance to receive blood transfusions, but no significant difference in postoperative complications (SI, OSI, WD, or DVT) between the two groups. | Sung Ro Lee Kevin Shrestha Jackson Staggers Peng Li Sameer M.Naranje Ashish Shah | 2018 | Chinese Journal of Traumatology2018,21,6: | 5 |
| 18 | Mesenchymal stem cell treatment improves outcome of COVID-19 patients via multiple immunomodulatory mechanisms显示文摘The infusion of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)patients with mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)potentially improves clinical symptoms,but the underlying mechanism remains unclear.We conducted a randomized,single-blind,placebo-controlled(29 patients/group)phase II clinical trial to validate previous findings and explore the potential mechanisms.Patients treated with umbilical cord-derived MSCs exhibited a shorter hospital stay(P=0.0198)and less time required for symptoms remission(P=0.0194)than those who received placebo.Based on chest images,both severe and critical patients treated with MSCs showed improvement by day 7(P=0.0099)and day 21(P=0.0084).MSC-treated patients had fewer adverse events.MSC infusion reduced the levels of C-reactive protein,proinflammatory cytokines,and neutrophil extracellular traps(NETs)and promoted the maintenance of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies.To explore how MSCs modulate the immune system,we employed single-cell RNA sequencing analysis on peripheral blood.Our analysis identified a novel subpopulation of VNN2+hematopoietic stem/progenitorlike(HSPC-like)cells expressing CSF3R and PTPRE that were mobilized following MSC infusion.Genes encoding chemotaxis factors—CX3CR1 and L-selectin—were upregulated in various immune cells.MSC treatment also regulated B cell subsets and increased the expression of costimulatory CD28 in T cells in vivo and in vitro.In addition,an in vivo mouse study confirmed that MSCs suppressed NET release and reduced venous thrombosis by upregulating kindlin-3 signaling.Together,our results underscore the role of MSCs in improving COVID-19 patient outcomes via maintenance of immune homeostasis. | Rongjia Zhu Tingdong Yan Yingmei Feng Yan Liu Hongcui Cao Gongxin Peng Yanlei Yang Zhen Xu Jingqi Liu Wei Hou Xiaoyue Wang Zhe Li Luchan Deng Shihua Wang Jing Li Qin Han Hongling Li Guangliang Shan Yinghao Cao Xingyan An Jianshe Yan Zhonghui Zhang Huafei Li Xuebin Qu Jiaqi Zhu Shumin Zhou Jiao Wang Fengchun Zhang Jinming Gao Ronghua Jin Dayong Xu Yan-Qing Ma Tao Huang Shuang Peng Zhi Zheng Ilia Stambler Eric Gilson Lee Wei Lim Alexey Moskalev Antonio Cano Sasanka Chakrabarti Brun Ulfhake Huanxing Su Haoying Xu Sihuan Xu Feng Wei Holly MBrown-Borg Kyung-Jin Min Georgina Ellison-Hughes Calogero Caruso Kunlin Jin Robert Chunhua Zhao | 2021 | Cell Research2021,31,12: | 5 |
| 19 | Vitamin A regulates intramuscular adipose tissue and muscle development:promoting high-quality beef production显示文摘During growth in cattle,the development of intramuscular adipose tissue and muscle is dependent upon cell hyperplasia(increased number of adipocytes)and hypertrophy(increased size of adipocytes).Based on the results of previous studies,other adipose tissue depots(e.g.,perirenal and subcutaneous)develop from the fetal stage primarily as brown adipose tissue.The hyperplastic stage of intramuscular adipose is considered to develop from late pregnancy,but there is no evidence indicating that intramuscular adipose tissue develops initially as brown adipose tissue.Hyperplastic growth of intramuscular adipose continues well into postweaning and is dependent on the timing of the transition to grain-based diets;thereafter,the late-stage development of intramuscular adipose tissue is dominated by hypertrophy.For muscle development,hyperplasia of myoblasts lasts from early(following development of somites in the embryo)to middle pregnancy,after which growth of muscle is the result of hypertrophy of myofibers.Vitamin A is a fat-soluble compound that is required for the normal immunologic function,vision,cellular proliferation,and differentiation.Here we review the roles of vitamin A in intramuscular adipose tissue and muscle development in cattle.Vitamin A regulates both hyperplasia and hypertrophy in in vitro experiments.Vitamin A supplementation at the early stage and restriction at fattening stage generate opposite effects in the beef cattle.Appropriate vitamin A supplementation and restriction strategy increase intramuscular adipose tissue development(i.e.,marbling or intramuscular fat)in some in vivo trials.Besides,hyperplasia and hypertrophy of myoblasts/myotubes were affected by vitamin A treatment in in vitro trials.Additionally,some studies reported an interaction between the alcohol dehydrogenase-1C(ADH1C)genotype and vitamin A feed restriction for the development of marbling and/or intramuscular adipose tissue,which was dependent on the timing and level of vitamin A restriction.Therefore,the feed strategy of vitamin A has the visible impact on the marbling and muscle development in the cattle,which will be helpful to promote the quality of the beef. | Dong Qiao Peng Stephen B.Smith Hong Gu Lee | 2021 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2021,12,3: | 5 |
| 20 | Fast-Suppressor Screening for New Components in Protein Trafficking,Organelle Biogenesis and Silencing Pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana Using DEX-Inducible FREE1-RNAi Plants显示文摘Membrane trafficking is essential for plant growth and responses to external signals.The plant unique FYVE domain-containing protein FREE1 is a component of the ESCRT complex(endosomal sorting complex required for transport).FREE1 plays multiple roles in regulating protein trafficking and organelle biogenesis including the formation of intraluminal vesicles of multivesicular body(MVB),vacuolar protein transport and vacuole biogenesis,and autophagic degradation.FREE1 knockout plants show defective MVB formation,abnormal vacuolar transport,fragmented vacuoles,accumulated autophagosomes,and seedling lethality.To further uncover the underlying mechanisms of FREE1 function in plants,we performed a forward genetic screen for mutants that suppressed the seedling lethal phenotype of FREE1-RNAi transgenic plants.The obtained mutants are termed as suppressors of free1(sof).To date,229 putative sof mutants have been identified.Barely detecting of FREE1 protein with M3plants further identified 84 FREE1-related suppressors.Also145 mutants showing no reduction of FREE1 protein were termed as RNAi-related mutants.Through next-generation sequencing(NGS)of bulked DNA from F2mapping population of two RNAi-related sof mutants,FREE1-RNAi T-DNA inserted on chromosome 1 was identified and the causal mutation of putative sof mutant is being identified similarly.These FREE1-and RNAi-related sof mutants will be useful tools and resources for illustrating the underlying mechanisms of FREE1 function in intracellular trafficking and organelle biogenesis,as well as for uncovering the new components involved in the regulation of silencing pathways in plants. | Qiong Zhao Caiji Gao PoShing Lee Lin Liu Shaofang Li Tangjin Hu Jinbo Shen Shuying Pan Hao Ye Yunru Chen Wenhan Cao Yong Cui Peng Zeng Sheng Yu Yangbin Gao Liang Chen Beixin Mo Xin Liu Shi Xiao Yunde Zhao Silin Zhong Xuemei Chen Liwen Jiang | 2015 | Journal of Genetics and Genomics2015,42,6: | 4 |
