Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis under Abiotic Stress of BrAHL Genes in Brassica rapa.

The AT-hook motif nuclear localized (HAM) gene family in plants plays a crucial role in growth and stress tolerance. This study identified and analyzed 42 HAM family genes in plants, revealing their location in the nucleus, their involvement in stress responses and hormone regulation, and their varied expression patterns. The study also predicted interactions between HAM genes and proteins under different stress conditions.

Isoalantolactone Suppresses Glycolysis and Resensitizes Cisplatin-Based Chemotherapy in Cisplatin-Resistant Ovarian Cancer Cells.

Isoalantolactone, a compound found in Herba Inulae, can inhibit glycolysis in cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cells and sensitize them to cisplatin-induced apoptosis. It also suppresses tumor growth in cisplatin-resistant tumors, offering a potential treatment for overcoming drug resistance in ovarian cancer.

The Roles of Hormone Signals Involved in Rhizosphere Pressure Response Induce Corm Expansion in Sagittaria trifolia.

Compacted soil affects plant growth, leading to root growth stagnation and bending/thickening. Arrowhead corm expansion is affected by rhizosphere pressure and hormone levels, providing insights for studying similar developments in other plants.

New Evidence for Artemisia absinthium as an Alternative to Classical Antibiotics: Chemical Analysis of Phenolic Compounds, Screening for Antimicrobial Activity.

This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of methanol extracts of an herb, finding broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal activity. It identified 90 compounds, including new ones, and showed the safety of the extracts. This suggests the potential use of the herb as an alternative to antibiotics for addressing bacterial resistance.

Evaluation of Differentially Expressed Genes in Leaves vs. Roots Subjected to Drought Stress in Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.).

This study investigated how flax plants respond to drought stress. It found that drought caused wilting, changes in physiological and biochemical characteristics, and variations in gene expression. Understanding these responses could help improve crop yield and quality in dry conditions.
