Heat stress and pathogens are two serious yield-limiting factors of crop plants. Plants that previously experienced high but sub-lethal temperatures become subsequently tolerant to higher temperatures through the development of acquired thermotolerance (ATT). ATT activation is associated with the elevated expression of heat shock (HS)-related genes such as HSFA2, HSFA3, and HSP101.

Article Synopsis
  • - Neuropsychiatric disorders like anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia affect 15% of the global population, with India having one of the highest rates of mental illnesses according to the WHO.
  • - The blood-brain barrier (BBB) complicates drug delivery to the brain, but advancements in nanotechnology and the nose-to-brain (N2B) method allow for more effective treatment by directly delivering drugs through the nasal cavity.
  • - This review focuses on the use of plant-derived and synthetic nanoformulations delivered through the intranasal route to treat neuropsychiatric disorders, highlighting the potential benefits and challenges associated with this innovative approach.

Oil red O staining is effective in detection and quantification of neutral lipid droplets in tissues such as the liver. However, converting images into testable data using ImageJ can be time-consuming and is prone to inaccuracy or bias. We describe a protocol for automated qualitative measurement of lipid droplets in the bird liver using a batch processing macro script.
