"Elegy of blossoms": Decrypting the dynamics of petal senescence in L.

Petal senescence represents a crucial phase in the developmental continuum of flowers, ensuing tissue differentiation and petal maturation, yet anteceding seed formation and development. Instigation of petal senescence entails myriad of changes at the cytological, physiological and molecular dimensions, mirroring the quintessential characteristics of cell death. In the current investigation biochemical and molecular intricacies were scrutinized across various developmental stages (bud to the senescent phase).

Perception of patient safety culture among undergraduate dental students: a cross-sectional study.

Objectives: Although patient safety has received a lot of emphasis in medicine and nursing, data regarding patient safety perception in dentistry are limited, particularly among dental students. Given the increasing risk of safety hazards, curriculum developers need evidence to guide their implementation in undergraduate studies. This study aimed to determine patient safety culture among undergraduate dental students in Pakistan.
