Introduction: The use of telemedicine for treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection has been effective in lowering the risk of infection and relieving strain on the healthcare system. This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 cases, their follow-up, risk factors of disease severity, and predictors of hospital admission while using telemedicine.

Methodology: The study included 611 Egyptian patients with mild and moderate COVID-19 disease.

Circadian clocks rely on transcriptional/translational feedback loops involving clock genes and their corresponding proteins. While the primary oscillations originate from gene expression, the precise control of clock protein stability plays a pivotal role in establishing the 24-hour circadian rhythms. Most clock proteins are degraded through the ubiquitin/26S proteasome pathway, yet the enzymes responsible for ubiquitination and deubiquitination remain poorly characterised.

Warm temperatures accelerate plant growth, but the underlying molecular mechanism is not fully understood. Here, we show that increasing the temperature from 22°C to 28°C rapidly activates proliferation in the apical shoot and root meristems of wild-type Arabidopsis seedlings. We found that one of the central regulators of cell proliferation, the cell cycle inhibitor RETINOBLASTOMA-RELATED (RBR), is suppressed by warm temperatures.

Light affects almost every aspect of plant development. It is perceived by photoreceptors, among which phytochromes (PHY) are responsible for monitoring the red and far-red spectrum. Arabidopsis thaliana possesses five phytochrome genes (phyA-phyE).
