    Abstract Maize is a major staple crop widely used as food, animal feed, and raw materials in industrial production. High-density planting is a major factor contributing to the continuous increase of maize yield. However, high planting density usually triggers a shade avoidance response and causes increased plant height and ear height, resulting in lodging and yield loss. Reduced plant height and ear height, more erect leaf angle, reduced tassel branch number, earlier flowering, and strong root system architecture are five key morphological traits required for maize adaption to high-density planting. In this review, we summarize recent advances in deciphering the genetic and molecular mechanisms of maize involved in response to high-density planting. We also discuss some strategies for breeding advanced maize cultivars with superior performance under high-density planting conditions.

    Abstract This study aimed to develop core-shell nanofibers by emulsion electrospinning using zein-stabilized emulsions to encapsulate camellia oil effectively. The increasing oil volume fraction (φ from 10% to 60%) increased the apparent viscosity and average droplet size of emulsions, resulting in the average diameter of electrospun fibers increasing from 124.5 nm to 286.2 nm. The oil droplets as the core were randomly distributed in fibers in the form of beads, and the core-shell structure of fibers was observed in TEM images. FTIR indicated that hydrogen bond interactions occurred between zein and camellia oil molecules. The increasing oil volume fraction enhanced the thermal stability, hydrophobicity, and water stability of electrospun nanofiber films. The core-shell nanofibers with 10%, 20%, 40%, and 60% camellia oil showed encapsulation efficiency of 78.53%, 80.25%, 84.52%, and 84.39%, respectively, and had good storage stability. These findings contribute to developing zein-based core-shell electrospun fibers to encapsulate bioactive substances.

    Abstract As complex and heterogeneous materials, the mechanical properties of rocks are still in need of further investigation regarding the mechanisms of the effects of water. In engineering projects such as goaf foundation treatment and ecological restoration, it is particularly important to describe the fracturing process of non-uniform water-containing sandstone media. The study utilized the theory of continuum mechanics to adopt an elastoplastic strain-softening constitutive relationship and develop a numerical model for analyzing the uniaxial compressive strength and failure characteristics of non-uniform water-containing sandstone. The results indicate that, compared with the reference rock sample, the shorter the capillary path of water entering the rock sample's internal pores or the larger the contact area with water, the shorter the time required for the rock sample to be saturated. Increasing the water content causes a rapid decline in the rock sample's elastic modulus and intensifies its brittleness. Group D2 and D3 samples exhibited a decrease in average peak strength to 70.4% and 62.1%, respectively, along with a corresponding decrease in the elastic modulus to 90.78% and 76.55%, indicating significant strain softening. While the failure mode of the rock sample remains consistent across different water contents, the homogeneity of failure shows significant variation. Increasing volumetric water content raises the likelihood of interconnecting cracks between rock samples, resulting in a progressive decline in macroscopic mechanical properties such as peak strength, critical strain, and elastic modulus. This research is significant in advancing the theory and construction technology for ecological restoration in goaf areas.

    Abstract Despite entomopathogenic fungi being used in various insect pest control, it is recognized that they could replace more chemical insecticides if they were more efficient. We have found that cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera responded to the infection of entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana by activating the Toll pathway. Koinobiont wasps also regulate host immunity and development to ensure the survival of their progeny. Previously, venom protein VRF1 was identified in Microplitis mediator. It enters

    Abstract Cardiac dysfunction is a severe complication that is associated with an increased risk of mortality in multiple diseases. Cardioprotection solution that has been researched is the electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve to exert cardio protection. This method has been shown to reduce the systemic inflammatory response and maintain the immune homeostasis of the heart. However, the invasive procedure of electrode implantation poses a risk of nerve or fiber damage. Here, we propose transthoracic ultrasound stimulation (US) of the vagus nerve to alleviate cardiac dysfunction caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We developed a noninvasive transthoracic US system and exposed anesthetized mice to ultrasound protocol or sham stimulation 24 h after LPS treatment. Results showed that daily heart targeting US for 4 days significantly increased left ventricular systolic function ( p = 0.01) and improved ejection fraction ( p = 0.03) and shortening fraction ( p = 0.04). Furthermore, US significantly reduced inflammation cytokines, including IL-6 ( p = 0.03) and IL- 1β ( p = 0.04). In addition, cervical vagotomy abrogated the effect of US, suggesting the involvement of the vagus nerve's anti-inflammatory effect. Finally, the same ultrasound treatment but for a longer period (14 days) also significantly increased cardiac function in naturally aged mice. Collectively, these findings suggest the potential of transthoracic US as a possible novel noninvasive approach in the context of cardiac dysfunction with reduced systolic function and provide new targets for rehabilitation of peripheral organ function.

    Abstract Background: Epilepsy is a widespread and chronic disease of the central nervous system caused by a variety of factors. Mitochondrial ferritin (FtMt) refers to ferritin located within the mitochondria that may protect neurons against oxidative stress by binding excess free iron ions in the cytoplasm. However, the potential role of FtMt in epilepsy remains unclear. We aimed to investigate whether FtMt and its related mechanisms can regulate epilepsy by modulating ferroptosis.
    Methods: Three weeks after injection of adeno-associated virus (AAV) in the skull of adult male C57BL/6 mice, kainic acid (KA) was injected into the hippocampus to induce seizures. Primary hippocampal neurons were transfected with siRNA using a glutamate-mediated epilepsy model. After specific treatments, Western blot analysis, immunofluorescence, EEG recording, transmission electron microscopy, iron staining, silver staining, and Nissl staining were performed.
    Results: At different time points after KA injection, the expression of FtMt protein in the hippocampus of mice showed varying degrees of increase. Knockdown of the FtMt gene by AAV resulted in an increase in intracellular free iron levels and a decrease in the function of iron transport-related proteins, promoting neuronal ferroptosis and exacerbating epileptic brain activity in the hippocampus of seizure mice. Additionally, increasing the expression level of FtMt protein was achieved by AAV-mediated upregulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) gene in the hippocampus of seizure mice.
    Conclusions: In epilepsy, Nrf2 modulates ferroptosis by involving the expression of FtMt and may be a potential therapeutic mechanism of neuronal injury after epilepsy. Targeting this relevant process for treatment may be a therapeutic strategy to prevent epilepsy.

    Abstract Microplastics contamination have been extensively reported in aquatic ecosystem and organisms. It is wildly acknowledged that the ingestion, accumulation and elimination of microplastics in fishes are species-specific, which mainly depending on the feeding behavior. This study aimed to investigate the effects of microplastics on the morphology and inflammatory response in intestines of fishes with different feeding types. Largemouth bass (carnivorous fish), grass carp (herbivorous fish) and Jian carp (omnivorous fish) were used as organism model. The contributing concentration and size of microplastics were explored as well as the response time and legacy effect in fishes. Two different sizes of polystyrene microplastics (80 nm and 8 μm) were set at three concentrations. And samples were analyzed at different exposure times and depuration times. Histological analysis indicated that multiple abnormalities in intestines were presented in three species fishes after acute exposure microplastics. The mRNA abundance of immune-related genes in the intestine tissues of fishes were significantly fluctuant. There were differential expressions of genes coping with differential sizes and concentrations of microplastics exposure in different fishes. The reason for the difference effects of microplastics on fishes was still unclear but could be due to the difference in the structure and function of the digestive system. These results provided a theoretical basis to further analysis of the mechanism of fish intestinal pathology caused by microplastics.
