TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that the expression of the sweet potato IbMIPS1 gene was induced by NaCl, polyethylene glycol (PEG), abscisic acid (ABA), and stem nematodes.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that IbBBX24 plays a pivotal role in regulating JA biosynthesis and signaling and increasing Fusarium wilt resistance and yield in sweet potato, thus providing a candidate gene for developing elite crop varieties with enhanced pathogen resistance but without yield penalty.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 46-kDa heteropolysaccharide SHPS-1 was isolated from the fruiting bodies of Phellinus baumii, which consisted of arabinose, mannose, glucose, and galactose at a molar ratio of 2.2:15.7

TL;DR: It is found that mulberry leaf extract and its active component 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) diminished hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia with similar efficacy in male and female mice but preferentially alleviated hypercholesterolemia in female mice, indicating a potential mechanism by which gut microbes and their metabolites confer the beneficial role of DNJ in ameliorating hyperlipidemia.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors sequenced the whole-genome of Phellinus gilvus, identified phenylpropanoids as its key anti-cancer components, and deduced their biosynthesis pathways.
