Complete genome sequence of a novel mitovirus detected in Colocasia esculenta.

Scientists discovered a new mitovirus in taro plant in China. The virus's genome was sequenced and found to belong to a new species in the Duamitovirus genus. This is the first time a member of Mitoviridae has been associated with taro.

Effects of Interaction of Protein Hydrolysate and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Effects on Citrus Growth and Expressions of Stress-Responsive Genes (Aquaporins and SOSs) under Salt Stress.

Protein hydrolysates and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi improve crop growth and reduce damage from salt stress. They enhance nutrient absorption, sodium effluxion, and the expression of stress-responsive genes in citrus plants. The combined application of both is more effective.

Centella asiatica promotes antioxidant gene expression and mitochondrial oxidative respiration in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.

Centella asiatica (Centella) does not improve cognitive function or reduce disease burden in multiple sclerosis (MS) in mice. However, it does increase antioxidant gene expression and mitochondrial respiratory activity, suggesting potential benefits in MS patients.
