Neurobehavioral plasticity in the rodent gustatory system induced by regular consumption of a low-calorie sweetener during adolescence by Clare M. Mathes, Sarah J. Terrill, Juan P. Taborda-Bejarano, Sandrine Chometton, Mallory J. Witt, Gaurikka Mendiratta, Emily G. Gilman, Delenn R. Hartswick, Bo M. Anderson, Lindsey A. Schier

“…Abstract Habitual consumption of low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) during juvenile-adolescence can lead to greater sugar intake later in life. Here, we investigated if exposure to the LCS Acesulfame Potassium (Ace-K) during this critical period of development reprograms the taste system in a way that would alter hedonic responding for common dietary compounds. …”

Jasmonic acid improves cadmium tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa) by reducing the production of nitric oxide by Ji Bo Yang, Hao Yu Wang, Jing Huang, Chuan Jin Shan, Jing Yan, Chong Wei Zhong, Die Hu, Qiang Zhang, Ren Fang Shen, Xiao Fang Zhu, Da Li Zeng

“…In this study, exposure to Cd stress rapidly elevated endogenous JA concentrations in rice roots, meanwhile, a mutant coleoptile photomorphogenesis 2 (cpm2) which produces less JA, was more sensitive to Cd stress than its wild type (WT). JA mitigated Cd toxicity by decreasing Cd absorption in root cell wall and shoot, which was achieved by up-regulating the expression of the Cd-chelation and efflux-related genes such as OsHMA3, OsABCG36 and OsCAL1; down-regulating the transcript level of the Cd uptake and translocation-related genes, including OsHMA2, OsCCX2, OsNRAMP1/5, and OsZIP5/7. …”
