DROUGHT RISK ASSESSMENT FOR CITRUS AND ITS MITIGATION RESISTANCE UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE AND CROP SPECIALIZATION: A CASE STUDY OF SOUTHERN JIANGXI, CHINA

Drought risk assessment for citrus and its mitigation resistance under climate change and crop specialization: A case study of southern Jiangxi, China

Crop specialization has become an important way to promote agricultural efficiency and increase incomes for farmers in China.Under extreme weather conditions, this is likely to increase resistance to drought risk mitigation and lead to greater drought damage.In order to make more sophisticated mitigation policy decisions, it requires efforts to ass

Low Levels of MicroRNA-10a in Cardiovascular Endothelium and Blood Serum Are Related to Human Atherosclerotic Disease

Background.MicroRNA-10a (miR-10a) inhibits transcriptional factor GATA6 to repress inflammatory GATA6/VCAM-1 signaling, which is regulated by blood flow to affect endothelial function/dysfunction.This study aimed to identify the expression patterns of miR-10a/GATA6/VCAM-1 in vivo and study their implications in the pathophysiology of human coronary
