Abstract Based on China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) 2018 data, the multiple linear regression model is used to analyze the effects of Internet use on women’s depression, and to test the robustness of the regression results. At the same time, the effects of Internet use on mental health of women with different residence, age, marital status and physical health status are analyzed. Then, we can obtain that Internet use has a significant promoting effect on women’s mental health, while the degree of Internet use has a significant inhibitory effect on women’s mental health. In addition, the… More >

Abstract An authoritative parenting style has been shown to promote children’s emotion regulation in European-American family studies. However, little is known about how sleep problems and the child’s sibling status in Chinese families affect this relationship. Based on family system theory, this study attempts to better understand the relationship between authoritative parenting style and emotion regulation. Mothers of preschool children in Chinese kindergartens completed questionnaires about their children’s sleep habits, their authoritative parenting styles, and children’s emotion regulation. A total of 531 children participated in this study. Results showed that authoritative parenting was positively associated with… More >

Abstract Objective: This study was conducted to explore the relationships among sedentary behavior (SB), electronic product addiction (EPA), and depression (D) in adolescents during the COVID-19 epidemic. Methods: A total of 604 adolescents (including 309 girls and 295 boys aged 12–18) were selected from Qufu City, Shandong Province, China for three rounds of investigation. The model was constructed using AMOS 23.0 software, and cross-lagged analysis was conducted. Results: SB at T1 can significantly positively predict SB and EPA at T2 (p < 0.05). EPA at T1 can significantly positively predict SB and D at T2 (p < 0.05). More >

Abstract The success of teachers in professional environments has a desirable influence on their mental condition. Simply said, teachers’ professional success plays a crucial role in improving their mental health. Due to the invaluable role of professional success in teachers’ mental health, personal and professional variables helping teachers succeed in their profession need to be uncovered. While the role of teachers’ personal qualities has been well researched, the function of professional variables has remained unknown. To address the existing gap, the current investigation measured the role of two professional variables, namely job satisfaction and loving pedagogy, More >

Abstract In multi-label learning, the label-specific features learning framework can effectively solve the dimensional catastrophe problem brought by high-dimensional data. The classification performance and robustness of the model are effectively improved. Most existing label-specific features learning utilizes the cosine similarity method to measure label correlation. It is well known that the correlation between labels is asymmetric. However, existing label-specific features learning only considers the private features of labels in classification and does not take into account the common features of labels. Based on this, this paper proposes a Causality-driven Common and Label-specific Features Learning, named CCSF More >

Abstract Genetic manipulation (either restraint or enhancement) of the biosynthesis pathway of α-linolenic acid (ALA) in seed oil is an important goal in Brassica napus breeding. B. napus is a tetraploid plant whose genome often harbors four and six homologous copies, respectively, of the two fatty acid desaturases FAD2 and FAD3, which control the last two steps of ALA biosynthesis during seed oil accumulation. In this study, we compared their promoters, coding sequences, and expression levels in three high-ALA inbred lines 2006L, R8Q10, and YH25005, a low-ALA line A28, a low-ALA/high-oleic-acid accession SW, and the wildtype ZS11. The expression… More >

Abstract Grapes, one of the oldest tree species globally, are rich in vitamins. However, environmental conditions such as low temperature and soil salinization significantly affect grape yield and quality. The glutamate receptor (GLR) family, comprising highly conserved ligand-gated ion channels, regulates plant growth and development in response to stress. In this study, 11 members of the VvGLR gene family in grapes were identified using whole-genome sequence analysis. Bioinformatic methods were employed to analyze the basic physical and chemical properties, phylogenetic trees, conserved domains, motifs, expression patterns, and evolutionary relationships. Phylogenetic and collinear analyses revealed that the VvGLRs… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of modern molecular biology and bioinformatics, many studies have proved that transcription factors play an important role in regulating the growth and development of plants. SPATULA (SPT) belongs to the bHLH transcription family and participates in many processes of regulating plant growth and development. This review systemically summarizes the multiple roles of SPT in plant growth, development, and stress response, including seed germination, flowering, leaf size, carpel development, and root elongation, which is helpful for us to better understand the functions of SPT.

Abstract Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) is the rate-limiting and pivotal enzyme of the general phenylpropanoid pathway, but few reports have been found on PAL genes in Pinus yunnanensis. In the present study, three PAL genes were cloned and identified from P. yunnanensis seedlings for the first time, namely, PyPAL-1, PyPAL-2, and PyPAL-3. Our results indicated that the open-reading frames of PyPAL genes were 2184, 2157, and 2385 bp. Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that PyPALs have high homology with other known PAL genes in other plants. In vitro enzymatic analysis showed that all three PyPAL recombinant proteins could catalyze the deamination of L-phenylalanine to form More >

Abstract

Seed germination with selenium (Se) is promising for producing Se-biofortified foods. Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) sprout is freshly eaten as a salad dressed with sauce, making it superior for Se biofortification. Since the Se safety range for the human body is extremely narrow, it is imperative to evaluate the genotypic responses of mungbean sprouts to Se. This study evaluated the Se enrichment capacity and interaction with flavonoids and antioxidant systems in sprouts of 20 mungbean germplasms. Selenium treatment was done by immersing mungbean seeds in 20 μM sodium selenite solution for 8 h. Afterward, the
