Abstract: A ROCK inhibitor represented by formula (I), and a preparation method therefor and a use thereof are provided. The ROCK inhibitor has excellent ROCK inhibition activity, particularly shows good selective inhibition on ROCK2 kinase, has good safety and metabolic stability, and is high in bioavailability. The preparation method for the ROCK inhibitor is simple, and the ROCK inhibitor is easy to purify, and therefore has a good application prospect.

Abstract: Disclosed is a heterocyclic compound as represented by formula (I), a tautomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compound has better inhibitory activity on TRPC5, has good metabolic stability in liver micro-particles, and has good clinical pharmacokinetic properties.

Abstract: A method for improving plant insect resistance includes providing target genes derived from insects. Constructs based on the nucleotide sequences of these target genes are designed to form interfering molecules. After being eating by insects, the plant can significantly inhibit expression of corresponding genes in insects. This inhibition is not affected by barrier of the insect digestive systems. The method can improve the insect resistance of plants, reduce pesticide applications, lower the costs of agricultural production, and protect the environment.

Abstract: A method includes increasing EXPA1 gene expression or increasing the activity of EXPA1 polypeptide to produce a plant with an improved trait. The method may further include increasing the expression of RDL1 gene or the activity of RDL1 kpolypeptide. expression of GhRDL1 and GhEXPA1 Co-expression of EXPA1 and RDL genes can improve plant traits. These methods have applications in crops and flower productions.

Abstract: A method for improving insect resistance of plants, in which dsRNA of insect's gene is expressed in plants by using transgenic technique, and then the interfering RNAs are formed in the plants. The interfering RNAs then enter into insects' bodies after being ingested by the insect that eats the plant, and conduct RNA interference against the target gene, thereby expression of the target gene is suppressed by RNA interference. A new plant-mediated method for improving insect resistance by suppressing the growth of insects by RNA interference mechanism.

Abstract: There are disclosed novel composite materials in which polypropylene is reinforced by the inclusion of bamboo fibers. Preferably the polypropylene may be maleated prior to inclusion of the bamboo fibers in order to promote bonding between the bamboo fibers and the polypropylene matrix.
