Deciphering fungicide resistance in Phytophthora: mechanisms, prevalence, and sustainable management approaches.

The genus Phytophthora contains more than 100 plant pathogenic species that parasitize a wide range of plants, including economically important fruits, vegetables, cereals, and forest trees, causing significant losses. Global agriculture is seriously threatened by fungicide resistance in Phytophthora species, which makes it imperative to fully comprehend the mechanisms, frequency, and non-chemical management techniques related to resistance mutations. The mechanisms behind fungicide resistance, such as target-site mutations, efflux pump overexpression, overexpression of target genes and metabolic detoxification routes for fungicides routinely used against Phytophthora species, are thoroughly examined in this review.

In Vitro Analysis of the Accuracy of the Use of Waste Zirconia Dust Compared With Optical Scanning Spray on Implant Abutment Models in Extraoral Scanning Protocol.

Introduction The evolution of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems has heightened the significance of digital models in dentistry, particularly for fabricating prostheses like inlays, crowns, and bridges. While digital dentistry offers enhanced speed and precision, the initial investment in intraoral scanners may pose a barrier for some clinicians. Extraoral or lab scanners, however, offer a viable alternative, reducing laboratory time and providing accurate prostheses fit, though challenges such as reflective surfaces and availability of scanning sprays persist, impacting scanning quality and operator technique.

Investigating the relationship of government revenue and expenditure on economic growth using a generalized method of moments: Does state-level panel ensure sustainable growth?

The current research project investigates the correlation between economic growth, government spending, and public revenue in seventeen Indian states spanning the years 1990 to 2020. An analysis of the relationship between key fiscal policy variables and economic growth was conducted utilising a panel data approach, the Generalised Method of Moments (GMM), and fully modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS & DOLS) estimation. In our investigation, we assessed the impacts of non-tax revenue, development plan expenditure, tax revenue, and development non-plan expenditure on (i) the net state domestic product (NSDP) and (ii) the NSDP per capita.

TANGO1 inhibitors reduce collagen secretion and limit tissue scarring.

Uncontrolled secretion of ECM proteins, such as collagen, can lead to excessive scarring and fibrosis and compromise tissue function. Despite the widespread occurrence of fibrotic diseases and scarring, effective therapies are lacking. A promising approach would be to limit the amount of collagen released from hyperactive fibroblasts.
