Although the functions of basic leucine zipper (bZIP) family transcription factors in the regulation of various abiotic stresses are beginning to be unveiled, the precise roles of bZIP proteins in plants coping with submergence stress remain unclear. Here we identified a bZIP gene GmbZIP71-4 from soybean, which localized in the nucleus. The GmbZIP71-4 over-expressed tabocco line showed reduced submergence resistance due to the decreased abscisic acid (ABA) content. GO and KEGG pathway analysis based on chromatin immunoprecipitation assay sequencing (ChIP-seq) indicated that the differences expressed genes between submergence treatment and control groups were specially enriched in plant hormone signal transduction items, especially those in response to ABA. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) demonstrated that GmbZIP71-4 bound to the promoter of GmABF2 gene, which is consistent with the ChIP-qPCR results. GmbZIP71-4 function as a negative regulator of soybean in responding to submergence stress through manipulating ABA signaling pathway. This findings will set a solid foundation for the understanding of submergence resistance in plants.

Herein, we report the isolation and characterization of an endophytic bacterium associated with the Berberis aristata roots to uncover bioactive compounds, particularly Antimicrobials, using submerged culture. The bacterial isolate was identified via 16S rDNA sequence analysis and characterized using morphological, microscopic, and biochemical techniques. It was identified as Bacillus toyonensis strain BAR1, a motile, gram-positive, halotolerant bacterium capable of producing yellow pigments.

Submergence-induced hypoxia stress hampers plant growth and yield, yet its molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we found that ETP1/2 are repressed by submergence stress and negatively regulate plant tolerance to submergence. Further analysis showed that the repression of ETP1/2 during the submergence response is at least partly caused by the decreased expression of ARR1/12, as ARR1/12 can directly bind to the promoters via the AGATTTG motifs to activate ETP1/2 expression.

This article presents experimental studies on the characterization of geopolymer composites intended for applications in aquatic environments, with particular emphasis on underwater infrastructure. The motivation for conducting the research was the growing need to develop durable and ecological building materials that will be resistant to long-term exposure to moisture and aggressive chemical agents, typical for the underwater environment, where traditional cement concretes undergo gradual degradation due to long-term water impact, including hydrotechnical and underwater infrastructure. Geopolymer binders were produced based on metakaolin activated by alkaline solutions containing sodium hydroxide.

: Dental caries is a prevalent dental problem affecting primary and permanent teeth. Early demineralization of enamel lesions can be reversed through remineralization. Many studies have focused on caries prevention and disease progression arrest using silver diamine fluoride (SDF).

Climate change causes major agricultural losses, driven both by the rise of plant diseases and by extreme weather events such as droughts and floods. Increased precipitation can lead to waterlogging of important crops. The roots of plants submerged in water have limited access to oxygen, which leads to hypoxia, which, in turn, reduces plant resistance to other factors, e.
