Article Synopsis
- - ALFIN-like transcription factors (ALs) play crucial roles in plant functions such as seed germination, root development, and stress responses; specifically, they help regulate carotenoid biosynthesis in carrots under salt and ABA stress through gene expression.
- - In carrots, two newly identified genes encoding AL-like proteins enhance tolerance to salt stress, with one gene showing notable responsiveness to ABA treatment, leading to better survival rates in modified plants compared to controls.
- - Transgenic lines of both carrots and kiwis expressing these AL-like genes demonstrate increased carotenoid and chlorophyll content, highlighting the potential for genetic modifications to improve plant resilience to salinity.
Background: SARS-CoV-2 hampered the resolution of multiple diseases, including cancer.
Aim: To show that a multidisciplinary program of Strategies to Advance Recovery (STAR) can be implemented in a public hospital in Chile, despite the global pandemic and state of a national catastrophe, to provide a solution to cancer patients.
Material And Methods: A retrospective descriptive study, of patients requiring an elective resolution of a colorectal cancer.
