Genome-wide characterization of regulator of chromosome condensation 1 (RCC1) gene family in Artemisia annua L. revealed a conservation evolutionary pattern.

Study aimed to investigate the gene structure, evolutionary history, and expression profile of the UVR8 or RCC1 genes in Artemisia annua, the major source of artemisinin. Understanding this could help optimize artemisinin production and light conditions for the plant.

Baicalein improves Na(2)SeO(3) induced cataract by enhancing the antioxidant capacity of juvenile Sprague Dawley Rat.

Researchers studied the therapeutic effects of baicalein (BAI), a compound in Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, for cataract treatment. BAI has antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Care about this because it could potentially lead to a new treatment for cataracts.

Mycorrhized wheat and bean plants tolerate bismuth contaminated soil via improved metal detoxification and antioxidant defense systems.

Bismuth contamination in agricultural fields impacts crop yield and quality, but arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can mitigate these effects by improving plant growth, reducing bismuth uptake, and enhancing metal detoxification and antioxidant defenses. AMF manipulation may alleviate bismuth phytotoxicity in crops.
