Nicotine exposure and transgenerational impact: a prospective study on small regulatory microRNAs
Taki, Faten A.; Pan, Xiaoping; Lee, Myon-Hee; Zhang, Baohong (2014-12-17)Early developmental stages are highly sensitive to stress and it has been reported that pre-conditioning with tobacco smoking during adolescence predisposes those youngsters to become smokers as adults. However, the molecular ... -
Nicotine exposure caused significant transgenerational heritable behavioral changes in Caenorhabditis elegans
Taki, Faten A; Pan, Xiaoping; Zhang, Baohong (2013-09)Passive and active exposure to tobacco smoking among youth is directly associated with immediate as well as long-term health deterioration. Despite all public health policies and efforts, the percentage of teenage smokers ... -
De Novo Transcriptome Assembly and Comparative Analysis Elucidate Complicated Mechanism Regulating Astragalus chrysochlorus Response to Selenium Stimuli
Çakır, Özgür; Turgut-Kara, Neslihan; Arı, Şule; Zhang, Baohong (2015-10)Astragalus species are medicinal plants that are used in the world for years. Some Astragalus species are known for selenium accumulation and tolerance and one of them is Astragalus chrysochlorus, a secondary selenium ... -
Proteome quantification of cotton xylem sap suggests the mechanisms of potassium-deficiency-induced changes in plant resistance to environmental stresses
Zhang, Zhiyong; Chao, Maoni; Wang, Sufang; Bu, Jingjing; Tang, Juxiang; Li, Fei; Wang, Qinglian; Zhang, Baohong (2016-02)Proteomics was employed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of apoplastic response to potassium(K)-deficiency in cotton. Low K (LK) treatment significantly decreased the K and protein contents of xylem sap. Totally, ... -
