Melatonin Confers NaCl Tolerance in L. by Maintaining Na/K Homeostasis, Strengthening the Antioxidant Defense System and Modulating Withanolides Synthesis-Related Genes.

Unlabelled: As a multifunctional signaling molecule, melatonin (ML) is widely considered to induce the defense mechanism and increase the accumulation of secondary metabolites under abiotic stresses. Here, the effects of different concentrations of ML (100 and 200 µM) on the biochemical and molecular responses of L. in hydroponic conditions under 200 mM NaCl treatment were evaluated.

Mycorrhizal symbiosis alleviate salinity stress in pistachio plants by altering gene expression and antioxidant pathways.

Unlabelled: This study investigated how inoculation of salt-stressed seedlings with , an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF), affects their biomass, oxidative damage, antioxidant enzyme activity, and gene expression. Pistachio seedlings (N:36) were randomly assigned to AMF inoculation and non-inoculation groups in a pot experiment with 9 replications. Each group was further divided and randomly assigned to two salinity treatments (0 and 300 mM NaCl).

Concept Analysis of End-of-Life Care.

The inevitability of human mortality encourages the care system to enhance the quality of life (QOL) at the end of life. However, the main problem is that the boundaries of care as end-of-life care (EOLC) have not been defined precisely. Hence, this study aimed to clarify the concept of EOLC.

Positive Consequences of the Hidden Curriculum in Undergraduate Nursing Education: An Integrative Review.

Background: Hidden Curriculum (HC) plays an essential role in nursing education and professionalism. However, its positive consequences have been overlooked. Thus, this study aimed to explore and discuss the positive consequences of HC in nursing undergraduate education.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis regulates the physiological responses, ion distribution and relevant gene expression to trigger salt stress tolerance in pistachio.

Mycorrhizal symbiosis is generally considered effective in ameliorating plant tolerance to abiotic stress by altering gene expression, and evaluation of genes involved in ion homeostasis and nutrient uptake. This study aimed to use fungus (AMF) to alleviate salinity stress and analyse relevant gene expression in pistachio plants under No/NaCl stress in greenhouse conditions. Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis was used to study the physiological responses, ion distribution and relevant gene expression in pistachio plants under salinity stress.
