Molecular mechanism of miR-203a targeting Runx2 to regulate thiram induced-chondrocyte development Pestic. Biochem. Phys. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2024-02-07 Shouyan Wu, Kai Liu, Xiaojuan Huang, Qiuyu Sun, Xiaomei Wu, Khalid Mehmood, Ying Li, Hui Zhang
Thiram is a kind of organic compound, which is commonly used for sterilization, insecticidal and deodorization in daily life. Its toxicology has been broadly studied. Recently, more and more microRNAs have been shown to participate in the regulation of cartilage development. However, the potential mechanism by which microRNA regulates chondrocyte growth is still unclear. Our experiments have demonstrated

Biocontrol activity of an endophytic Alternaria alternata Aa-Lcht against apple Valsa canker Pestic. Biochem. Phys. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2024-02-05 Yanting He, Runze Tian, Chengyu Gao, Lin Ji, Xiao Liu, Hao Feng, Lili Huang
Apple Valsa canker (AVC), caused by , is the most serious branch disease for apples in East Asia. Biocontrol constitutes a desirable alternative strategy to alleviate the problems of orchard environment pollution and pathogen resistance risk. It is particularly important to explore efficient biocontrol microorganism resources to develop new biocontrol technologies and products. In this study, an endophytic
