Silicon uptake and transport mechanisms in plants: processes, applications and challenges in sustainable plant management.

Silicon (Si) is an abundant element in the earth's crust essential for plant growth and development. Recent studies silicon's potential for improving plant resilience to numerous biotic stressors, notably fungal diseases. This review seeks to offer a comprehensive understanding of the processes and advantages of silicon-induced systemic resistance in plants, with a special focus on its interactions with fungal pathogens.

Molecular dynamics study of tropical calcific pancreatitis (TCP) associated calcium-sensing receptor single nucleotide variation.

Tropical Calcific Pancreatitis (TCP) is a chronic non-alcoholic pancreatitis characterised by extensive calcification. The disease usually appears at a younger age and is more common in tropical regions. This disease's progression can lead to pancreatic diabetes, which can subsequently lead to pancreatic cancer.
