NAA application delays grape ripening, increases β-damascenone and TDN, decreases IBMP, and triggers changes in norisoprenoid metabolisms through ABA and auxin signaling pathways. VvABF2 and VvARF10 are potential regulators. Important for improving grape quality.
Scientists studied phytochrome-interacting factors in wheat, identifying 18 genes categorized into four groups. Two active genes, TaPIF2-1B and TaPIF4-5B, were found to impact plant development and stress responses, providing insight into PIF-mediated stress responses in wheat.
The study found that incorporating prickly pear peel (PPP) into Nile tilapia diets improved growth, feed utilization, immune function, and antioxidant capacity. The optimal amount of PPP was found to be around 1 to 2 g per kg of diet. These findings are important for improving stress tolerance and overall health in Nile tilapia.
A new plant virus, named Mentha arvensis robigovirus 1 (MARV1), was discovered using genomic sequencing. MARV1 belongs to the Robigovirus genus and is closely related to African oil palm ringspot virus. This finding provides important information about a previously unknown plant virus.
Scientists developed a chemo-free treatment strategy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) using a nanophytosomal system and phyto-photo dual treatment. Experiment showed promising anti-TNBC activity, suppression of mitochondrial potential, and induction of caspase-3 activity, indicating potential effectiveness and safety of this approach.
