Assessment of the changes in growth, photosynthetic traits and gene expression in Cynodon dactylon against drought stress.

Study identified highly drought-tolerant bermudagrass genotypes "Tianshui" and "Linxiang" with over-expression of dehydrin, Cu/ZnSOD, APX genes under water deficit conditions, leading to improved antioxidant activity, osmotic adjustment, and growth potential. Essential for breeding resilient turfgrasses in limited water regions.

Impacts of the vegetable Urtica dioica on the intestinal T and B cell phenotype and macronutrient absorption in C57BL/6J mice with diet-induced obesity.

Including 2% U. dioica in a high-fat diet protects against fat accumulation, insulin resistance, and inflammation in mice. It also enhances immune response and reduces fat and glucose absorption.
