Exploring the impact of membrane transporters in abiotic stress mitigation: Advances and applications in plant resilience.

Membrane transporters (MTs) are pivotal for maintaining cellular homeostasis and facilitating the movement of ions, water, and nutrients across cellular membranes, ensuring plant growth and development. These proteins are central in regulating the source-to-sink relationship, enabling efficient sugar and nutrient transport, and ensuring resilience against abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, heat, cold, and heavy metal toxicity. Key transporters, including Na/H antiporters and K channels, maintain ionic balance by mediating ion compartmentalization and efflux critical for plant survival, improving nutrient use efficiency.

Bacterial profiling of colorectal cancer biopsies: a culture-based study in Indian patients.

Emerging research has highlighted the significant role of microorganisms in the initiation and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC).

Method for detecting rough road index using iot sensor fusion and v2v interaction for efficient road infrastructure management.

The method proposed explores the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and sensor fusion techniques into modern transportation systems to enhance efficiency, safety, and road quality assessment. The study not only emphasizes the importance of V2V communication using DSRC Dedicated Short Range Communication, Threshold Based Algorithms (TBA) and Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) but also proposes a novel approach of IoT multi-sensor fusion hardware model that is designed to identify clean and rough surface road conditions. By deploying multi sensor module into proposed model, real-time road surface data is collected and processed to classify them into flat clean or bumpy rough categories based on their smoothness index.

Colorectal cancer biofilm composition reveals distinct bacterial species signature.

Human colon hosts a highly organized protective microbial ecosystem in the form of biofilms, increasingly recognized as key contributors to colorectal cancer (CRC) progression through microbial dysbiosis and complex host-microbiota interactions.

Evolution of the structural phase and orientation in ultrathin SrRuO film with SrTiO capping layer.

In a perovskite oxide of [Formula: see text], the [Formula: see text] octahedral rotation and tilting are known to result in a structural distortion and transform the crystalline structure to a lower symmetry phase, such as the tetragonal phase (T-phase) and distorted orthorhombic phase (O-phase). Here, we present the observation of such structural transformation in 6 unit cell (uc) ultrathin films of [Formula: see text] (SRO) driven by an additional [Formula: see text] (STO) capping layer. A series of nominal STO (x uc)/SRO (6 uc) films with x ranging from 0 to 8 were grown on STO (001) substrates using an oxide molecular beam system with adsorption-controlled growth technique for SRO and layer-by-layer growth technique for STO.

This study aims to compare and evaluate the efficacy of wound healing with and without platelet-rich plasma injection in bilateral earlobe cleft lobe repair.

Enhancing Crop Resilience: The Role of Plant Genetics, Transcription Factors, and Next-Generation Sequencing in Addressing Salt Stress.

Salt stress is a major abiotic stressor that limits plant growth, development, and agricultural productivity, especially in regions with high soil salinity. With the increasing salinization of soils due to climate change, developing salt-tolerant crops has become essential for ensuring food security. This review consolidates recent advances in plant genetics, transcription factors (TFs), and next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies that are pivotal for enhancing salt stress tolerance in crops.
