Segmental redistribution of myocardial blood flow after coronary sinus reducer implantation demonstrated by quantitative perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance by Kevin Cheng, Francisco Alpendurada, Chiara Bucciarelli-Ducci, Jose Almeida, Peter Kellman, Jonathan M. Hill, Dudley J. Pennell, Ranil de Silva

“…Conclusion: In patients with refractory angina undergoing CSR implantation, quantitative stress perfusion CMR demonstrated redistribution of myocardial perfusion across segments, from less ischemic to more ischemic myocardium, and across myocardial layers with greatest improvements in endocardial perfusion observed in the most ischemic myocardium. Further studies are needed to validate the different patterns of MBF redistribution that may occur after CSR implantation and correlate with clinical outcomes.…”

Association mapping and candidate gene identification for drought tolerance in sorghum by Huiting Min, Huiting Min, Kang Wang, Kang Wang, Tiantian Wang, Tiantian Wang, Xinxiu Cheng, Xinxiu Cheng, Ephrem Habyarimana, Yongfei Wang, Yongfei Wang, Die Hu, Die Hu, Yi-Hong Wang, Lihua Wang, Lihua Wang

“…IntroductionWater is essential for plant growth, and drought is one of the most predominant constraints on crop yield. Sorghum is a well-known drought-tolerant crop model, and sorghum landraces possess novel alleles for local adaptation.MethodsIn this study, we evaluated a sorghum mini core panel of 239 landraces sampled globally for shoot and root growth under simulated drought conditions using 10% and 20% polyethylene glycol (PEG) in 2020 and 2024, and measured drought tolerance using the seedling tolerance coefficient (STC).Results and discussionPhenotypic analysis showed that more accessions produced more roots than longer roots when exposed to 10% PEG; however, at 20% PEG, more accessions produced longer roots than more roots, reflecting the adaptability of some accessions to drought stress. …”
