Improving Soybean Germination and Nodule Development with Nitric Oxide-Releasing Polymeric Nanoparticles.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a multifunctional signaling molecule in plants, playing key roles in germination, microbial symbiosis, and nodule formation. However, its instability requires innovative approaches, such as using nanoencapsulated NO donors, to prolong its effects. This study evaluated the impact of treating soybean () seeds with the NO donor S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), encapsulated in polymeric nanoparticles, on the germination, nodulation, and plant growth.

Production of benzyl-based esters from used soybean cooking oil as renewable plasticizers for flexible PVC films: Exploring new applications for lipases in emerging technologies.

The objective of this study was to produce new and renewable bio-based plasticizers from used soybean cooking oil (USCO). First, USCO was completely converted into free fatty acids (FFAs) using lipase from Candida rugosa. Next, these FFAs were enzymatically esterified with benzyl alcohol in solvent-free systems.

Dairy farmers' satisfaction with the price paid by processors in competitive markets.

Price is the main attribute considered in negotiations between companies in many agricultural commodity markets. However, there is evidence that unit price is only one factor affecting dairy farmers' satisfaction with dairy processors, which has implications for the coordination of supply chains. The understanding of price satisfaction as embodying multidimensional attributes that influence farmer satisfaction are important for the formulation of commercial strategies aimed at reducing market asymmetries.

High Power Short Duration Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: Long-Term Predictors of Success and Recurrence - A Multivariate Analysis.

Background: Point-by-point ablation with a high-power short-duration (HPSD) technique in atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is used worldwide. Little data is available with the HPSD and dragging technique (DT).

Objective: To perform a multivariate analysis of clinical and procedural predictors of success and recurrence in HPSD with DT.

Photobiomodulation for oral mucositis management in pediatric patients: a systematic review.

This review aimed to determine whether photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is a safe and effective alternative for treating and preventing OM in children. The database search was carried out on PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane. Gray literature was also consulted through Google Scholar.
