DEP1 IS INVOLVED IN REGULATING THE CARBON-NITROGEN METABOLIC BALANCE TO AFFECT GRAIN YIELD AND QUALITY IN RICE (ORIZA SATIVA L.).

The DEP1 (dense and erect panicle 1) gene, which corresponds to the erect panicle architecture, shows a pleiotropic effect in increasing grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in rice.Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether the carbon-nitrogen metabolic balance changes as the dep1 allele enhances nitrogen uptake and assimilation.In this stu

Urease-producing bacteria (especially Proteus mirabilis) can cause infection kidney stone.However, recent studies have shown that intact viable non-urease-producing bacteria such as Escherichia coli might also promote calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stone formation but with unclear mechanism.We thus hypothesized that some relevant bacterial component
