Inherently low concentrations of zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), iodine (I), and selenium (Se) in wheat ( L.) grains represent a major cause of micronutrient malnutrition (hidden hunger) in human populations. Genetic biofortification represents a highly useful solution to this problem.

Instead, PPM catalyzes the interconversion of ribose 1-phosphate and ribose 5-phosphate.

The main objective of this paper is to introduce a hybrid approach for the power system reforms and advances of low-carbon technology to address environmental concerns as well as transition towards a more sustainable energy infrastructure. To meet these objectives, various aggregation operators (AOs) are developed named as T-spherical fuzzy Dubois-Prade (T-SFDP), T-spherical fuzzy interactive Dubois-Prade weighted average (T-SFIDPWA), T-spherical fuzzy interactive Dubois-Prade ordered weighted average (T-SFIDPOWA), T-spherical fuzzy interactive Dubois-Prade weighted geometric (T-SFIDPWG), and T-spherical fuzzy interactive Dubois-Prade ordered weighted geometric (T-SFIDPOWG).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAging is a key risk factor for numerous diseases, including cardiac diseases. High energy demands of the heart require precise cellular energy sensing to prevent metabolic stress. AMPK and sirtuins are key intracellular metabolic sensors regulating numerous cell functions, like mitochondrial function and biogenesis, autophagy, and redox balance.
