- Skin color is a crucial quality trait in cucumber fruit, yet the regulatory mechanisms underlying cucumber skin color remain poorly understood. In this study, we characterized a cucumber natural mutant displaying yellow peel, and identified a key gene () through map-based cloning. encodes a rhodanese-like protein with a Rhod domain. A single-base insertion results in premature termination of protein translation, leading to the yellowing pericarp phenotype in the natural mutant. To further investigate the function of CsYP, two knockout lines, and , were generated using CRISPR-Cas9 technology. Phenotypic investigation of and revealed a significant yellowing of the pericarp starting from 6 days after pollination, consistent with the natural mutant phenotype. Additionally, our study revealed an interaction between CsYP and Cscytb6f, a cytochrome b6-f complex iron-sulfur subunit, suggesting a collaborative role of CsYP and iron-sulfur proteins in regulating cucumber peel color. These findings provide novel insights into the regulatory mechanisms underlying cucumber peel color and broaden our understanding of this important trait. - Source: PubMed

Cui YuanyuanLi SenWu HaoyingZhao XiZhang XiaoDong YumingWang YaruAn MenghangYang LinChen XiaofengWeng YiqunRen HuazhongLiu Xingwang - Entropic cosmology with the Rényi entropy of the apparent horizon SR=(1/α)ln(1+αSBH), where SBH is the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, is studied. By virtue of the thermodynamics-gravity correspondence, a model of dark energy is investigated. The generalized Friedmann equations for the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker spatially flat universe with barotropic matter fluid are obtained. We compute the dark energy density ρD, pressure pD, and the deceleration parameter of the universe. At some model parameters, the normalized density parameter of the matter Ωm0≈0.315 and the deceleration parameter q0≈-0.535 for the current epoch, which are in the agreement with the Planck data, are found. Making use of the thermodynamics-gravity correspondence, we describe the late-time acceleration of the universe. The entropic cosmology considered here is equivalent to cosmology based on the teleparallel gravity with the definite function F(T). The Hubble parameters are in approximate agreement (within 5 percents) with the observational Hubble data for redshifts 0.07≤z≤1.75 at the entropy parameter α≈0.305GH02. - Source: PubMed

Kruglov S I - Currently, the deterioration mechanism of root containing soil performance under freeze-thaw cycles remains poorly understood, and existing prediction models seldom systematically account for the influence of freeze-thaw cycles. In this study, the reed root-sandy silt in the Inner Mongolia section of the Yellow River was taken as the research object. The effects of initial water content w, initial dry density ρ, confining pressure σ, root section ratio RAR and freeze-thaw cycles n on the shear strength τ, cohesion c and internal friction angle φ of reed root-sandy silt were investigated. The sensitivity of each factor was analyzed. Based on the above parameters, the regression model of reed root-sandy silt τ, c and φ in the Inner Mongolia section of the Yellow River was constructed. The results show that τ, c and φ are positively correlated with ρ and negatively correlated with w, and τ is positively correlated with σ. τ and c are greatly affected by n and decay exponentially, while φ is less affected by n and increases slightly linearly. There is a quadratic function relationship between soil τ, φ and RAR, and a Gaussian function relationship between c and RAR. The influencing factors for τ rank in the order: σ > ρ and RAR > n > w, c is: n > ρ and RAR > w, φ is: ρ and RAR > n > w. The interaction between w and n is not significant for τ, c and φ of bare soil and root-soil composite, while the interaction between w and ρ, n and ρ, w and RAR, n and RAR is significant for τ, c and φ of bare soil and root-soil composite. Based on the interactions among factors such as w, ρ, σ, RAR and n,the general regression model for τ, c, φ, the Coulomb regression model of shear strength, and the Wu regression model for shear strength all perform well. They can be used to estimate the strength of reed root-silty sand in the Inner Mongolia section of the Yellow River, providing technical guidance for riverbank protection engineering. - Source: PubMed

Li PenghuiLi HaoJi HonglanSong Hongze - Soleus muscle fibres display modest changes in tetanic force and [Ca] during repeated contractions. In this study, we investigate whether increasing mitochondrial Ca load during repeated contractions could induce premature fatigue. Intact, single fibres were dissected from the soleus muscles of adult mice. Mitochondrial Ca was measured with rhod-2 in intact fibres. Fatigue was induced by 70 Hz, 350 ms tetani given at 2 s intervals in the absence and presence of 10 µM CGP-37157, a potent inhibitor of the mitochondrial Na-Ca exchanger. In soleus fibres fatigued in the absence of CGP-37157, tetanic force was significantly reduced by about 30% at the end of the fatiguing stimulation, while mitochondrial [Ca] increased to a maximum after about 50 tetani and returned to its resting level within 20 min after the end of the stimulation. In the presence of CGP-37157, the maximal mitochondrial [Ca] increase was more than twice that in control fibres. In addition, fatigue developed more rapidly and force remained depressed after the end of the stimulation. No difference in mitochondrial membrane potential or ROS production was seen between control and CGP-37157 conditions. We conclude that while modest increases in mitochondrial Ca may be beneficial, excessive mitochondrial Ca loading depresses muscle function. - Source: PubMed
