      Li, Fenglin; Zhang, Yiming; Zhong, Zhijian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      The current study evaluated the glucose-lowering effect of ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides (Gl-PS) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. The diabetic mice were randomly divided into four groups (8 mice per group): diabetic control group, low-dose Gl-PS treated group (50 mg/kg, Gl-PS), high-dose Gl-PS treated group (150 mg/kg, Gl-PS) and positive drug control treated group (glibenclamide, ...
    • Functional analysis of microRNA 840 in Arabidopsis 

      Zhong, Zhijian (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-05-16)
      Three mechanisms have been implicated for plant microRNAs (miRNAs) to regulate gene expression, i.e. directing target RNA cleavage, transcriptional silencing and translational repression. A great number of target genes of plant miRNAs were predicted using different algorithms and verified through experimental methods. In the present work, one miRNA from Arabidopsis, microRNA 840 (miR840) was ...
