Researchers investigated the molecular regulatory network during auxin-mediated peach fruit expansion, an important stage for fruit yield and quality. Understanding this network can help optimize fruit production and improve crop quality.
Researchers synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with antibiotics and Mentha longifolia extract, comparing them to control AgNPs. Antibiotic-based AgNPs had altered properties and enhanced antibacterial activity, suggesting potential for combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria. (40 words)
This study tested licorice extract as a treatment for COVID-19. The results showed that licorice did not significantly improve symptoms like body temperature and respiratory rate, but it did improve levels of CRP and ALT. Licorice was found to be safe, but larger trials are needed to confirm these results.
