For the characterization of BOA-OH insensitive plants, we studied the time-dependent effects of the benzoxazolinone-4/5/6/7-OH isomers on maize roots. Exposure of Zea mays seedlings to 0.5 mM BOA-OH elicits root zone-specific reactions by the formation of dark rings and spots in the zone of lateral roots, high catalase activity on root hairs, and no visible defense reaction at the root tip.

- In the current world with lots of data, health care systems need to handle sensitive information carefully while ensuring privacy, security, and smooth data sharing.
- Most health care systems still have problems in these areas, but there's potential in using blockchain technology, which is a type of secure and decentralized database.
- This article aims to explore the use of blockchain in health care, show real-life examples, and look at its future impact, backed by studies found in medical research databases.

Article Synopsis
- The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming increasingly integrated into healthcare, utilizing sensors and wearables for personal health monitoring and disease diagnosis.
- Current research focuses heavily on IoT's role in tracking physical activity, identifying both opportunities and challenges within this application.
- Future studies need to explore the impact of IoT devices on patient outcomes and how to implement these technologies without raising healthcare costs.
A facultative, microbial micro-community colonizing roots of Abutilon theophrasti Medik. supports the plant in detoxifying hydroxylated benzoxazolinones. The root micro-community is composed of several fungi and bacteria with Actinomucor elegans as a dominant species.
