GUARD CELL HYDROGEN PEROXIDE-RESISTANT1 functions upstream of reactive carbonyl species production in Arabidopsis guard-cell abscisic acid signaling.

GUARD CELL HYDROGEN PEROXIDE-RESISTANT1 (GHR1), a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase, is involved in abscisic acid (ABA)-induced stomatal closure. We investigated the role of GHR1 in reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling for ABA-induced stomatal closure. ABA induced ROS production in wild type (WT) and the ghr1 of Arabidopsis thaliana.

An investigation of the pigments, antioxidants and free radical scavenging potential of twenty medicinal weeds found in the southern part of Bangladesh.

Despite their overlooked status, weeds are increasingly recognized for their therapeutic value, aligning with historical reliance on plants for medicine and nutrition. This study investigates the medicinal potential of native weed species in Bangladesh, specifically pigments, antioxidants, and free radical scavenging abilities. Twenty different medicinal weed species were collected from the vicinity of Khulna Agricultural University and processed in the Crop Botany Department Laboratory.

Opportunities and Challenges in Advancing Plant Research with Single-cell Omics.

Plants possess diverse cell types and intricate regulatory mechanisms to adapt to the ever-changing environment of nature. Various strategies have been employed to study cell types and their developmental progressions, including single-cell sequencing methods which provide high-dimensional catalogs to address biological concerns. In recent years, single-cell sequencing technologies in transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and spatial transcriptomics have been increasingly used in plant science to reveal intricate biological relationships at the single-cell level.

Fetomaternal Outcome of Covid-19 Positive Pregnant Patients in Bangladesh: A Comparative Study.

Objective of the study was the effect of Covid-19 infection on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes. This prospective cohort study was conducted in Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Bogura, Obstetrics and Gynaecology department from June 2020 to October 2020. We have collected and analyzed data of 29 pregnant ladies positive for Covid-19.

Social history and glaucoma progression: the effect of body mass index, tobacco and alcohol consumption on the rates of structural change in patients with glaucoma.

Background/aims: Although obesity, tobacco and alcohol consumption were linked to the progression of numerous chronic diseases, an association of these social history aspects with glaucoma progression is not yet determined. This study aims to investigate the effect of body mass index (BMI) and history of tobacco and alcohol use on the rates of retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) change over time in glaucoma patients.

Methods: 2839 eyes of 1584 patients with glaucoma from the Duke Ophthalmic Registry were included.
