Nano-CeO(2) activates physical and chemical defenses of garlic (Allium sativum L.) for reducing antibiotic resistance genes in plant endosphere.

Researchers found that nano-CeO reduced antibiotic-resistant genes in garlic plants, potentially limiting spread to humans. Effective use of nanomaterials could help control antibiotic resistance in agriculture. The study suggests a potential solution to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance in plants.

Circadian rhythm and redox homeostasis candidate genes showed association with shallow elevation in Norway spruce.

Researchers studied genetic markers related to circadian and growth rhythms in Norway spruce trees. They found SNPs correlated with elevation and health condition, including genes involved in redox homeostasis and disease resistance. This study enhances understanding of local adaptation in Norway spruce populations.
