The contents of unsaturated fatty acids of thylakoid membrane lipids decreased and that of the saturated ones increased with the time of chilling and strong light treatment, resulting in the reduction of the index of unsaturation of fatty acids (IUFA). The activity of violaxanthin deepoxidase (VDE), a key enzyme of xanthophyll cycle, also reduced. The content of violaxanthin (V) increased, and the contents of antheraxanthin (A) and zeaxanthin M decreased, the ratio of (A+Z)/ (A+Z+V) decreased correspondingly. Arrhenius analysis showed that VDE was sensitive to both chilling and unsaturation level of thylakoid membrane lipids. Correlation analysis showed that there was distinctly positive relationships between IUFA of thylakoid membrane lipids and the activity of VDE, Fv/Fm, and D, protein content. Lower IUFA values, less fluidity and stability of thylakoid membrane lipids, lower VDE activity and (A+Z)/(A+Z+V) ratio were found in indica rice cv.

Clustering is a cornerstone in bioinformatics research, offering a potent computational tool for analyzing diverse types of data encountered in genomics and related fields. MiRNA clustering plays a pivotal role in deciphering the intricate regulatory roles of miRNAs in biological systems. It uncovers novel biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis and advances our understanding of gene regulatory networks and pathways implicated in health and disease, as well as drug discovery. Namely, we have implemented clustering procedure to find interrelations among miRNAs within clusters, and their relations to diseases. Deep clustering (DC) algorithms signify a departure from traditional clustering methods towards more sophisticated techniques, that can uncover intricate patterns and relationships within gene expression data. Deep learning (DL) models have shown remarkable success in various domains, and their application in genomics, especially for tasks like clustering, holding immense promise. The deep convolutional clustering procedure used is different from other traditional methods, demonstrating unbiased clustering results. In the paper, we implement the procedure on a Multiple Myeloma miRNA dataset publicly available on GEO platform, as a template of a cancer instance analysis, and hazard some biological issues.展开更多

A total of 29 297 rat clamps/times were placed and 2271 small mammals such as rodents were captured, and 26 small mammals were captured by other means. All the small mammals captured belonged to 8 families 19 genera and 24 species, of which rodentia accounted for 70.83% and insectivora 29.17%. Through analysis of the data, the results showed that: 1 ) although the species richness had a trend of increasing along different sample plots as altitude increased from south to north, quite a few species showed a wide habitat range in a vertical distribution ( 15 species were dispersed over three zones and two species over two zones) , indicating a strong adaptability of small mammals such as rOdents at lower altitudes in most areas and comparatively less vertical span of entire mountains; 2) whether in seven different sample plots or six different ecological types, Apodemus agrarius and Rattus norvegicus were dominant species below 1200m, and Anourosorex squamipes, Niviventer confucianus and Apodemus draco were dominant above altitudes of 1300m, however, in quantity they were short of identical regularity, meaning they did not increase as the altitude did, or decrease as the ecological areas changed; 3)the density in winter was obviously greater than that in spring, and the distribution showed an increasing trend along with altitude, but the density in different sample plots was short of identical regularity, showing changes in different seasons and altitude grades had an important impact on small mammals such as rodents; 4) in species diversity and evenness index, there were obvious changes between the seven different sample plots, probably caused by frequent human interference in this area. Comparatively speaking, there was less human interference at high altitudes where vegetation was rich and had a high diversity and evenness index, and the boundary effect and community stability were obvious. Most ecological types have been seriously interfered with due to excessive assart at low altitudes with singular vegetation and low diversity and evenness index and poor community stability, showing an ecosystem with poor anti-reversion. If human interference can be reduced in those communities at high altitudes with low diversity and evenness index, the biological diversity in the communities will gradually recover to similar levels of other ecological areas.展开更多

The electrochemical behavior of Al-Zn-Si-RE coating in 3.5%NaCl solution was systematically studied by potentiodynamic polarization, corrosion potential (φcor ) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques (EIS). The impedance data were fitted to appropriate equivalent circuits to explain the different electrochemical processes occurring at the electrode-electrolyte interface. The results indicate that Al-Zn-Si-RE coating reveals the similar polarization behavior as Zn-15Al coating. The coating has no passive region in the anodic polarization, but far lower corrosion current and much higher corrosion potential. Al-Zn-Si-RE coating provides effective sacrificial protection for steel substrate and the sacrificial anodic protection plays dominant role during the immersion process. In addition, theφcor evolution and EIS plots indicate that the corrosion process can be divided into five stages: pitting-dissolution-redeposition, activation corrosion, cathodic protection, physical barriers and the coating failure.展开更多

In each plot, four layers were sampled(litter layer,0~10 cm,10~20 cm & 20~30 cm),adding up to 72 soil sample.The area for large_sized soil animals was 50 cm×50 cm,and the area for middle_small_sized soil animals was 10 cm × 10 cm.Separated soil animals through adopting hand_picking method and Tullgren method respectively.Sampled the soil animals in two continuing years.Shannon_Wiener index was adopted to analyze the diversity of soil animals.Monad liner regression was used to search the relationship between soil animals and environmental factors.The dominant groups were Oribatida, Isotomidae.There were relatively great changes in groups and individual numbers of dominant groups and rare groups when the reason changed.The individual numbers of dominant groups and the groups of rare groups changed.The number of individual and group was the most in August.Obviously it correlated with climatic factors in middle temperate zone.The evenness was low and dominance was high. The diversity index was not most.Among the annual fluctuating there was a increasing trend. The evenness was low and dominance was high.The diversity index was low.It conformed with the law of reason change.The correlation between soil animals and atmospheric temperature,rainfall,ground temperature and sunlight showed the correlation with rainfall and soil temperature was the most significant.展开更多

In each plot, four layers were sampled(litter layer,0~10 cm,10~20 cm & 20~30 cm),adding up to 72 soil sample.The area for large_sized soil animals was 50 cm×50 cm,and the area for middle_small_sized soil animals was 10 cm × 10 cm.Separated soil animals through adopting hand_picking method and Tullgren method respectively.Sampled the soil animals in two continuing years.Shannon_Wiener index was adopted to analyze the diversity of soil animals.Monad liner regression was used to search the relationship between soil animals and environmental factors.The dominant groups were Oribatida, Isotomidae.There were relatively great changes in groups and individual numbers of dominant groups and rare groups when the reason changed.The individual numbers of dominant groups and the groups of rare groups changed.The number of individual and group was the most in August.Obviously it correlated with climatic factors in middle temperate zone.The evenness was low and dominance was high. The diversity index was not most.Among the annual fluctuating there was a increasing trend. The evenness was low and dominance was high.The diversity index was low.It conformed with the law of reason change.The correlation between soil animals and atmospheric temperature,rainfall,ground temperature and sunlight showed the correlation with rainfall and soil temperature was the most significant.
