Microplastics (MPs) have been regarded as emerging pollutants globally, and understanding of the injurious impacts of MPs on food crops is still scarce. MPs toxicity can disrupt the growth and physic-chemical characteristics of turnip seedlings. Hence, sustainable remediation techniques by employing growth regulators can alleviate harmful impacts and confer MPs tolerance in vegetables.

Beneficial plant microbes can enhance the growth and quality of field crops. However, the benefits of microbes using cheap and efficient inoculation methods are still uncommon. Seed coating with biocontrol agents can reduce the amount of inocula along with having the potential for large-scale application.

Background: The protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine/threonine kinases contains more than ten isozymes that are involved in multiple signaling pathways, including cell cycle regulation and carcinogenesis. The PKCε isozyme is an oncogene known to be upregulated in various signaling pathways involved in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there is no known association of missense SNPs in PKCε with this disease, which can be a potential biomarker for early diagnosis and treatment.

N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antibody encephalitis is an autoimmune syndrome with the development of antibody production against the NMDAR, affecting synaptic plasticity and cognition. It has a common association with ovarian teratomas with women being affected disproportionately. We present a case of an eight-year-old female child presented with complaints of fever, altered level of consciousness and choreiform movements.

Novel protein kinase C (nPKC) family member, protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε) is an AGC kinase superfamily member. It is associated with neurological and metabolic diseases as well as human cancers. No study so far has been conducted to identify genetic variations and their effect on PKCε folding and functioning.
