Acetic acid: a cost-effective agent for mitigation of seawater-induced salt toxicity in mung bean.

The current study sought the effective mitigation measure of seawater-induced damage to mung bean plants by exploring the potential roles of acetic acid (AA). Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that foliar application of AA under control conditions improved mung bean growth, which was interlinked to enhanced levels of photosynthetic rate and pigments, improved water status and increased uptake of K, in comparison with water-sprayed control. Mung bean plants exposed to salinity exhibited reduced growth and biomass production, which was emphatically correlated with increased accumulations of Na, reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, and impaired photosynthesis, as evidenced by PCA and heatmap clustering.

Here, we aimed to determine the impact of elevation on the physiological attributes of two plant species along an altitudinal gradient.

Silver/quartz nanocomposite as an adsorbent for removal of mercury (II) ions from aqueous solutions.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and silver/quartz nanocomposite (Ag/Q)NPs)) were synthesized by sol-gel method using table sugar as chelating agent. The synthesized nanosized materials were used for mercury ions adsorption from aqueous solutions The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron microscope (TEM), and surface area (BET). Adsorption of Hg (10 mg/l) is strongly dependent on time, initial metal concentration, dose of adsorbent and pH value.

: A plant-growth promoting rhizobacterium that also impacts biotic stress.

Plants encounter many biotic agents, such as viruses, bacteria, nematodes, weeds, and arachnids. These entities induce biotic stress in their hosts by disrupting normal metabolism, and as a result, limit plant growth and/or are the cause of plant mortality. Some biotic agents, however, interact symbiotically or synergistically with their host plants.

Truncating ARL6IP1 variant as the genetic cause of fatal complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia.

Background: Mutations in ARL6IP1, which encodes a tetraspan membrane protein localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), have been recently described in a large family with a complicated form of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP).
