Abstract
Members of the family of Phosphatidy Ethanolamine-Binding Protein (PEBP) have been shown to be key regulators of the transition of plants from vegetative to reproductive phases. Here, a total of 12 PEBP proteins were identified in the carrot (Daucus carota L.) genome and classified into FT-like (4), TFL1-like (6), and MFT-like 2) subfamilies, that had different lengths (110-267 aa) and were distributed unevenly across seven chromosomes. Moreover, 13 and 31 PEBP proteins were identified in other two Apiaceae species, celery (Apium graveolens L.) and coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.). The phylogenetic and evolutionary results of these PEBP family proteins were obtained based on the protein sequences. In the three Apiaceae species, purifying selection was the main evolutionary force, and WGD, segmental duplication, and dispersed duplication have played key roles in the PEBP family expansion. The expression analysis showed that carrot PEBP genes exhibited relatively broad expression patterns across various tissues. In the period of bolting to flowering, the carrot FT-like subfamily genes were upregulated as positive regulators, and TFL1-like subfamily genes remained at lower expression levels as inhibitors. More interestingly, the members of carrot FT-like genes had different temporal-spatial expression characteristics, suggesting that they have different regulatory functions in the carrot reproductive phase. In summary, this study contributes to our understanding of the PEBP family proteins and provides a foundation for exploring the mechanism of carrot bolting and flowering for the breeding of cultivars with bolting resistance.

Abstract
The family Apiaceae includes many important vegetables and medicinal plants. Auxin response factors (ARFs) play critical roles in regulating plant growth and development. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis of the ARF gene family in three Apiaceae species, celery, coriander, and carrot, and compared the results with the ARF gene family of lettuce, Arabidopsis, and grape. We identified 156 ARF genes in all six species and 89 genes in the three Apiaceae species, including 28, 34, and 27 in celery, coriander, and carrot, respectively. The paralogous gene number in coriander was far greater than that in carrot and celery. Our analysis revealed that ARF genes of the three Apiaceae species in 34 branches of the phylogenetic tree underwent significant positive selection. Additionally, our findings indicated that whole-genome duplication played an important role in ARF gene family expansion. Coriander contained a greater number of ARF genes than celery and carrot because of more gene duplications and less gene losses. We also analyzed the expression of ARF genes in three tissues by RNA-seq and verified the results by quantitative real-time PCR. Furthermore, we found that several paralogous genes exhibited divergent expression patterns. Overall, this study provides a valuable resource for exploring how ARF family genes regulate plant growth and development in other plants. Since this is the first report of the ARF gene family in Apiaceae, our results will serve as a guide for comparative and functional analyses of ARF and other gene families in Apiaceae.

Abstract
Hypothyroidism is the most common thyroid disorder, affects women more frequently, and incidence increases with age. The prevalence of hypothyroidism in developed countries is around 4-5%, whereas, in India, it is about 11%. The common symptoms of hypothyroidism in adults are weight gain, fatigue, lethargy, cold intolerance, constipation, change in voice, and dry skin. It can affect all systems of the body. Diagnosis is mainly based on clinical history and laboratory investigations. Untreated hypothyroidism increases morbidity and mortality. In conventional medicine, the treatment of choice is Levothyroxine, whereas in Unani System of Medicine, pharmacotherapy consists of single and compound drugs. Single drugs are selected as per the constitution (Mizaj) of drugs as opposed to the abnormal constitution (Su-e-Mizaj) of disease and its pathology. Some drugs increase the basal metabolic rate whereas some evacuate the morbid material from the body by the action of purgation. The drugs are used either in a single form or as a prescription of more than one drug in the form of decoction (Joshandah), infusion (Kheshandah), or powder (Safoof). This review aims at providing comprehensive information regarding various drugs used in Unani system of medicine that is used in the management of thyroid dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous studies acknowledged the importance of an adequate vegetable consumption for human health. However, current methods to estimate vegetable intake are often prone to measurement errors due to self-reporting and/or insufficient detail. More objective intake biomarkers for vegetables, using biological specimens, are preferred. The only concentration biomarkers currently available are blood carotenoids and vitamin C, covering total fruit and vegetable intake. Identification of biomarkers for specific vegetables is needed for a better understanding of their relative importance for human health. Within the FoodBAll Project under the Joint Programming Initiative "A Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life", an ambitious action was undertaken to identify candidate intake biomarkers for all major food groups consumed in Europe by systematically reviewing the existent literature. This study describes the review on candidate biomarkers of food intake (BFIs) for leafy, bulb, and stem vegetables, which was conducted within PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science for studies published through March 2019. RESULTS In total, 65 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility for leafy vegetables, and 6 full-text articles were screened for bulb and stem vegetables. Putative BFIs were identified for spinach, lettuce, endive, asparagus, artichoke, and celery, but not for rocket salad. However, after critical evaluation through a validation scheme developed by the FoodBAll consortium, none of the putative biomarkers appeared to be a promising BFI. The food chemistry data indicate that some candidate BFIs may be revealed by further studies. CONCLUSION Future randomized controlled feeding studies combined with observational studies, applying a non-targeted metabolomics approach, are needed in order to identify valuable BFIs for the intake of leafy, bulb, and stem vegetables.
