Article Synopsis
- Phosphorus is essential for plant growth, and this study examined root traits in 339 maize varieties to understand how they uptake phosphorus from the soil under different phosphate conditions.
- Genome-wide association studies identified 23 SNPs and 12 candidate genes linked to root phosphate levels and crown root number, particularly under low phosphate scenarios.
- The research suggests potential gene targets that could enhance maize's phosphorus uptake and tolerance to low phosphate conditions, with possibilities for genetic improvement using CRISPR technology.
Background: Periodontitis is a biofilm-associated inflammatory disease of the periodontium in which microbial component contributes to its initiation that mainly includes chronic periodontitis and aggressive periodontitis (AgP).
Aim: The present study aimed to ascertain a cost-effective treatment approach in AgP with minimal side effects by comparing systemic antibiotics (SA) and local drug delivery (LDD) as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP). Furthermore, the objectives were to analyze its effect on clinical and microbial parameters.
