Proline, Total Antioxidant Capacity, and OsP5CS Gene Activity in Radical and Plumule of Rice are Efficient Drought Tolerance Indicator Traits by Muhammad Abu Bakar Saddique, Zulfiqar Ali, Muhammad Ali Sher, Babar Farid, Rao Muhammad Ikram, Muhammad Saeed Ahmad

“…While, the change in imbibition rate, speed of germination, radical and plumule length, and fresh and dry weight were not symmetrical in drought tolerant, moderately drought tolerant, and drought susceptible genotypes. In short, the symmetrical change in proline, total antioxidant capacity, and expression of OsP5CS gene within radical and plumule of drought tolerant, moderately drought tolerant, and drought susceptible genotypes can help rapid screening of drought-tolerant rice genotypes.…”

Controversial Roles of Regenerating Family Proteins in Tissue Repair and Tumor Development by Luting Yu, Qingyun Wu, Shenglong Jiang, Jia Liu, Junli Liu, Guoguang Chen

“…<b>Background</b>: Over the past 40 years since the discovery of regenerating family proteins (Reg proteins), numerous studies have highlighted their biological functions in promoting cell proliferation and resisting cell apoptosis, particularly in the regeneration and repair of pancreatic islets and exocrine glands. Successively, short peptides derived from Reg3δ and Reg3α have been employed in clinical trials, showing favorable therapeutic effects in patients with type I and type II diabetes. …”
