There are often outbreaks of infectious diseases on farms, which not only disrupt production but also cause significant economic losses. Vaccines are given to prevent the spread of these infectious diseases, but they produce only systemic antibodies or antibodies in the mucosa of a particular system.

Salinity hinders the growth of many crops common in the diet, such as rice, wheat and maize when cultivated in coastal salinity areas. Given the limited availability of cultivable land and the increasing growth of the population, it is necessary to enhance productivity. In this paper, we present an innovative approach to adopting Halotolerant Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (HPGPR) to enhance salt-tolerant rice varieties to solve salinity stress and enhance crop production.

Article Synopsis
  • Rapid and accurate diagnosis of meningitis is crucial to avoid severe outcomes, leading to the development of a new diagnostic assay that doesn't require specialized equipment.
  • The assay features dual-priming isothermal amplification (DAMP) with unique internal primers to minimize false results, using Brilliant Green dye for effective fluorescence detection.
  • It effectively identifies major meningitis-causing pathogens in clinical samples, demonstrating high specificity and sensitivity, making it suitable for standalone use or integration into point-of-care testing systems.

Obstructed urine flow is known to cause structural and functional kidney damage leading to renal fibrosis. However, limited information is available on the change in kidney lipids during urinary tract obstruction. In this study, we investigated the change in lipidome in a mouse model with unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO).
