Status of pesticide management in the practice of vector control: a global survey in countries at risk of malaria or other major vector-borne diseases

Abstract Background Flags It is critical that vector control pesticides are used for their acceptable purpose without causing adverse effects on health and the environment.This paper provides a global overview of the current status of pesticides management in the practice of vector control.Methods A questionnaire was distributed to WHO member state

Exogenous DCPTA Increases the Tolerance of Maize Seedlings to PEG-Simulated Drought by Regulating Nitrogen Metabolism-Related Enzymes

2-(3,4-Dichlorophenoxy) triethylamine (DCPTA) regulates plant development; however, the molecular basis of this regulation is poorly understood.In this study, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis and physiological indexes of maize seedlings (three-leaf stage) treated with 15% polyethylene glycol (PEG) with/without DCPTA were investigated to explore th

New Insights into the Interplay between Non-Coding RNAs and RNA-Binding Protein HnRNPK in Regulating Cellular Functions

The emerging data indicates that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) epresent more than the “junk sequences” of the genome.Both miRNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in fundamental biological processes, and their deregulation may lead to oncogenesis and other diseases.As an important RNA-binding protein (RBP), heterogeneous nuclea
