Article Synopsis
  • Pomegranate is a vital fruit crop that faces serious farming issues from pests and diseases, making the development of resistant varieties important for sustainable agriculture.
  • Researchers identified 958 resistance gene analogues (RGAs) using a prediction tool, with the majority located on chromosomes 02 and 08, and found that many RGAs are linked to defense against biotic stresses.
  • The study highlights the potential of differentially expressed RGAs, particularly receptor-like kinases (RLKs), in breeding pomegranates resistant to bacterial blight, supporting long-term cultivation sustainability.

The rehabilitation of the cleft requires a multidisciplinary approach involving a pediatrician, surgeon, otolaryngologist, speech therapist, orthodontist, prosthodontist, and psychologist. The present case report illustrates the rehabilitation of a 12-day-old neonate with a cleft palate. Since the palatal arch of the neonate was very small, a feeding spoon was innovatively modified to obtain the impression.

The human genome contains 61 codons encoding 20 amino acids. Synonymous codons representing a given amino acid are decoded by a set of transfer RNAs (tRNAs) called isoacceptors. We report the surprising observation that two isoacceptor tRNAs that decode synonymous codons become modulated in opposing directions during breast cancer progression.
