Hormonal Status of Transgenic Birch with a Pine Glutamine Synthetase Gene during Rooting In Vitro and Budburst Outdoors.

Scientists studied the effects of genetic modification on nitrogen metabolism in transgenic birch plants. They found that the plants had higher levels of indoleacetic acid (IAA) and were more productive in low nitrogen conditions. This research enhances our understanding of the relationship between hormones and nutrients in trees.

Exploration of the effect and mechanism of Scutellaria barbata D. Don in the treatment of ovarian cancer based on network pharmacology and in vitro experimental verification.

Scutellaria barbata D. Don (SBD) contains bioactive ingredients that inhibit ovarian cancer development. Quercetin, luteolin, and wogonin are key components that inhibit cancer growth by targeting the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. SBD could be a potential drug for ovarian cancer treatment.

The Fertility tracks of Pollen Tube in the ovary of Solanum Nigrum by Three-Dimensional Reconstruction.

Scientists studied pollen tube growth in a plant species and found that successful seed germination depends on fertilization. Proximity between ovules and pollen tubes increases fertilization chances. Fertilized ovules show structural changes and impact seed germination rate. Unfertilized ovules have low germination success.

The efficacy of Linum usitatissimum seeds to inhibit estrogen receptor as a natural therapy for PCOS: An in silico and in vitro analysis.

Researchers found that natural estrogen receptor inhibitors from Linum usitatissimum seeds may protect against polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). These inhibitors have shown anti-estrogenic activity, reducing estrogen levels to prevent cyst formation and offer PCOS protection.
