A novel strategy for the protective effect of ginsenoside Rg1 against ovarian reserve decline by the PINK1 pathway by Pengdi Yang, Meiling Fan, Ying Chen, Dan Yang, Lu Zhai, Baoyu Fu, Lili Zhang, Yanping Wang, Rui Ma, Liwei Sun

“…Protein expression levels in the PINK1/Parkin pathway were assessed, and molecular docking and PINK1 mutant analyses were conducted to identify potential targets.Results Ginsenoside Rg1 significantly mitigated ovarian reserve decline, enhancing offspring quantity and quality, increasing the levels of ecdysteroids, preventing ovarian atrophy, and elevating germline stem cell numbers in aged Drosophila. Ginsenoside Rg1 improved superoxide dismutase, catalase activity, and gene expression while reducing reactive oxygen species levels. …”

Uptake kinetics and distribution of flupyrimin by rice (Oryza sativa L.): Effects of subcellular fractionation and soil factors by Xugen Shi, Min Wang, Zhenyu Jiang, Ruqiang Cui, Baotong Li, Xianpeng Zhang, Lianhu Zhang, Duantao Cao

“…The hydroponic experiment indicated that flupyrimin was easily taken up by rice roots via a symplastic passive diffusion process and was mainly distributed in the cell soluble fractions (50.6 %－88.0 %). Compared with transportation from the roots to the stems, flupyrimin was ultimately transported from the stems to the leaves with a greater translocation factor (TF) (TFLeave/Stem = 27.8 > TFStem/Root = 3.1). …”
