Phosphate fertilizers are applied to the soil surface, especially in vineyards in production in subtropical regions. Nowadays, phosphorus (P) is not incorporated into the soil to avoid mechanical damage to the root system in orchards. However, over the years, successive surface P applications can increase the P content only in the topsoil, maintaining low P levels in the subsurface, which can reduce its use by grapevines.

- The gene IDH1 often changes in many cancers, leading to a harmful substance that messes with the body's natural defenses.
- Tumors with this change often keep immune cells out, but blocking the mutant IDH1 can help the body's immune system attack the cancer.
- The study shows that the mutant IDH1 silences certain genes that would usually help the immune system work, but stopping this mutation can help reactivate those genes and boost immunity against tumors.
Background: Beneficial associations between plants and soil microorganisms are critical for crop fitness and resilience. However, it remains obscure how microorganisms are assembled across different root compartments and to what extent such recruited microbiomes determine crop performance. Here, we surveyed the root transcriptome and the root and rhizosphere microbiome via RNA sequencing and full-length (V1-V9) 16S rRNA gene sequencing from genetically distinct monogenic root mutants of maize (Zea mays L.

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of long COVID-19 in healthcare workers (HCWs) from four university hospitals in north-eastern Italy: Trieste, Padua, Verona, and Modena-Reggio Emilia. During the period June 2022-August 2022, HCWs were surveyed for past COVID-19 infections, medical history, and any acute as well as post-COVID-19 symptoms.
