Article Synopsis
  • Maize, which is the highest-yielding cereal crop, struggles with drought during its flowering period, impacting its growth and yield.
  • Researchers engineered maize by overexpressing a rice gene that lowers a sugar signal related to growth (trehalose-6-phosphate) while increasing sucrose levels.
  • This genetic modification resulted in significant yield improvements, with increases of 9% to 49% in non-drought or mild drought conditions and 31% to 123% in severe drought conditions compared to traditional maize.

Cystic glandular polyps of the stomach, histologically distinct from hyperplastic and adenomatous polyps, may undergo spontaneous regression. We report their occurrence in a 50-year-old woman with adult celiac disease, an association not previously described. They regressed incompletely when the patient was given a gluten-free diet.

It is widely accepted that the major cause of visceral larva migrans (VLM) in man is Toxocara canis infection. This has been largely based on the detection of antibodies to this species. We have compared the antigens of T.

The nematode parasite Toxocara canis is found in all dog populations and poses a poorly defined health hazard to humans. We have studied excretory-secretory antigen (ES) and surface antigens of the infective larval stage which is tissue-invasive in mammalian hosts. Antigens were probed with a panel of eight monoclonal antibodies raised in mice to whole ES.
