The Protective Effects of the Supercritical-Carbon Dioxide Fluid Extract of Chrysanthemum indicum against Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Lung Injury in Mice via Modulating Toll-L... by Xiao-Li Wu, Xue-Xuan Feng, Chu-Wen Li, Xiao-Jun Zhang, Zhi-Wei Chen, Jian-Nan Chen, Xiao-Ping Lai, Sai-Xia Zhang, Yu-Cui Li, Zi-Ren Su

“…ALI was induced by intratracheal instillation of LPS into lung, and dexamethasone was used as a positive control. Results revealed that pretreatment with CFE abated LPS-induced lung histopathologic changes, reduced the wet/dry ratio and proinflammatory cytokines productions (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6), inhibited inflammatory cells migrations and protein leakages, suppressed the levels of MPO and MDA, and upregulated the abilities of antioxidative enzymes (SOD, CAT, and GPx). …”

Uncovering rain-fed resilience power of grass pea in Iran using AMMI, BLUP, and multi-trait stability parameters by Hamid Hatami Maleki, Behrouz Vaezi, Reza Pirooz, Reza Darvishzadeh, Mohsen Modareskia, Somayyeh Dadashi, Gniewko Niedbała

“…Here, 16 grass pea genotypes were examined in four rain-fed regions during 2016–2017, 2017–2018, and 2018–2019. Dry fodder yield (DY), plant height (PH), days to flowering (DF), and wet fodder yield (WY) were recorded across 12 test environments. …”

A climatological baseline for understanding patterns of seasonal lake dynamics across sub-Sahelian Africa by M. Amadori, A. J. Greife, L. Carrea, M. Pinardi, R. Caroni, E. Calamita, L. Serrao, R. Maidment, S. Bordoni, C. Giardino, M. Bresciani, F. P. Fava, M. Schmid, M. Ndebele-Murisa, T. Nhiwatiwa, J-F. Crétaux, C. J. Merchant, X. Liu, S. Simis, D. Lomeo, H. Yesou, C. Albergel, R. I. Woolway

“…Within each cluster, we observe three seasonal patterns of chlorophyll-a concentration tied to wet and dry seasons. These patterns align with regional climatic threats in Africa, such as shifts in rainfall seasonality, altered frequency of tropical cyclones and wildfires, thus positioning our study as a framework to assess lake vulnerability across the sub-Sahelian region.…”

Effects of water-nitrogen interaction on some physiological characteristics and grain yield in hybrid rice during grain filling by SUN Yong-jian, SUN Yuan-yuan, LIU Kai, ZHANG Rong-ping, MA Jun

“…Super hybrid rice Gangyou 527 was used to investigate the effects of three irrigation regimes (submerged irrigation, dry cultivation, the treatment W2 that damp irrigation before booting stage, shallow irrigation at booting stage, wetting-drying alternation irrigation from heading stage to mature stage) and different amounts of N application on photosynthetic rate (Pn), activities of nitrate reductase (NR), glutamine synthetase (GS), glutamate synthase (GOGAT), endopeptidase (EP) in flag leaves, bleeding intensity (BIS) in basal internodes and grain yield during grain filling, and studied correlations among the photosynthesis, nitrogen metabolism enzyme activity and root vigor at this stage. …”

Irrigation methods and nitrogen-form interactions regulate starch-metabolising enzyme activity to improve rice yield and quality by Haojing Li, Hairun Li, Danke Zhang, Mengmeng Jiang, Jing Cao, Guowei Xu

“…A soil-growth experiment was conducted using a high-lodging-resistance rice cultivar under three irrigation methods, namely, submerged irrigation (0 kPa), alternate wetting and moderate drying (-20 kPa), and alternate wetting and severe drying (-40 kPa), as well as three nitrogen forms, namely, ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N), mixed ammonium + nitrate (50:50), hereafter denoted as 50:50, and nitrate nitrogen (NO3--N). …”

Quantification of Subsurface Hydrological Connectivity Using Wavelet Coherence Analysis by REN Ruijie, Fan Bihang, ZHANG Yaling, WANG Erqing, YANG Ruxin, HAN Xiaole, LIU Jintao, GUO Li

“…This is likely related to rainfall event dynamics and soil structure: soil moisture in the study area exhibits a wetting-drying cycle driven by rainfall events, with shallower soils responding more sensitively to rainfall; soils with high rock fragment content facilitate the formation of vertical connectivity. 2)Pronounced aspect differentiation (shaded vs. sunny slope) was observed in lateral subsurface process connectivity. …”
