Purpose: This systematic review examined studies that addressed physiotherapy intervention approaches to the Quality of Life (QoL) of people with Cerebral Palsy (CP).
Materials And Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search strategy in five databases (PEDro, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar) until 12 February 2024. We assessed the included studies' methodological quality and statistical description using the PEDro scale.
Background: Watermelon is a nutritionally and economically significant crop in the US and globally. Gummy Stem Blight (GSB), caused by three cryptic Stagonosporopsis species, is one of the most devastating diseases affecting watermelon in the US, impacting most of the plant's above-ground parts. This study aimed to identify key Quantitative Trait Variants (QTVs) that include SNPs and In/Dels associated with GSB resistance in selfed derivatives of advanced multicross interspecific derivatives population derived from intercrosses between the most resistant lines of Citrullus amarus and highly susceptible cultivars of Citrullus lanatus.

There is a need for training programs that enhance motor abilities and normalize function from an early age. Previous studies report improved motor outcomes in dance interventions for CP.

Despite its known benefits, the precise mechanisms underlying curcumin's effects on consumers remain unclear. To address this gap, we employed the genetic model and leveraged two omics tools-transcriptomics and metabolomics.

- A genome-wide association study of four Capsicum species (peppers) identified shared genes that influence fruit color, indicating that the genetic mechanisms for color have been preserved across these species.
- Key genes like Cytochrome P450, MYB transcription factors, and pentatricopeptide repeat proteins were found to be major contributors to the color variations in peppers.
- The research utilized extensive genetic analysis and color metrics from samples collected over six years, enhancing our understanding of how genetics affects fruit coloration in cultivated peppers, which is important for their market value and usage in food and cosmetics.
