Ammonium Transporter 1 (<i>AMT1</i>) Gene Family in Pomegranate: Genome-Wide Analysis and Expression Profiles in Response to Salt Stress by Fatima Omari Alzahrani

“…The tissue-specific expression analysis of <i>PgAMT1</i> genes revealed distinct patterns: <i>PgAMT1-1</i> and <i>PgAMT1-2</i> were predominantly expressed in flowers, <i>PgAMT1-3</i> exhibited notable expression in roots, leaves, and flowers, <i>PgAMT1-4</i> was primarily expressed in leaf tissue, while the expression of <i>PgAMT1-5</i> was detected in both leaves and roots. The impact of salt-induced stress on <i>AMT1</i> gene expression was also examined, revealing that <i>PgAMT1-1</i>, <i>PgAMT1-2</i>, and <i>PgAMT1-4</i> expression is reduced under increased salt stress. …”

Lipidomics-based investigation of its impact on the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis: a Mendelian randomization study by Qun Wang, Yuan Cao, Lianqun Jia

“…Random-effects inverse variance weighted (IVW) MR analyses were performed by a series of sensitivity assessments to measure the robustness of our findings and to detect any violations of MR assumptions. Results Through IVW, MR-Egger and weighted median regression methods, we inferred that these six lipid metabolites: cholesterol levels, sterol ester (27:1/18:2) levels, triacylglycerol (52:4) levels, triacylglycerol (52:5) levels, diacylglycerol (18:1_18.2) levels, triacylglycerol (53:4), could directly impact the development of atherosclerosis. …”
