Phylogenetic, Expression, and Bioinformatic Analysis of the ABC1 Gene Family in Populus trichocarpa by Zhanchao Wang, Haizhen Zhang, Jingli Yang, Yunlin Chen, Xuemei Xu, Xuliang Mao, Chenghao Li

“…Promoter cis-element analysis indicated that almost all of the ABC1 genes contained one or two cis-elements related to ABA signal transduction pathway and drought stress. Quantitative real-time PCR was carried out to evaluate the expression of all of the genes under abiotic stress conditions (ABA, CdCl2, high temperature, high salinity, and drought); the results showed that some of the genes were affected by these stresses and confirmed the results of promoter cis-element analysis.…”

Diffusion Characteristics of Dissolved Gases in Oil Under Different Oil Flow Circulations by Chuanxian Luo, Ye Zhu, Zhuangzhuang Li, Peng Yu, Zhengqin Zhou, Xu Yang, Minfu Liao

“…At higher flow rates, the characteristic gases primarily move within the oil tank along with the oil circulation, leading to a faster rate of gas dissolution in oil and a shorter time to reach equilibrium within the tank. At lower flow rates, the diffusion of characteristic gases depends not only on oil flow circulation but also on self-diffusion driven by concentration gradients, resulting in a nonlinear change in gas concentration across various monitoring points.…”
