Background: HOPZ-ACTIVATED RESISTANCE 1 (ZAR1) is a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) protein functioning as a recognition hub to initiate effector-triggered immunity against bacterial pathogens. To initiate defense, ZAR1 associates with different HOPZ-ETI-DEFICIENT 1 (ZED1)-Related Kinases (ZRKs) to form resistosomes to indirectly perceive effector-induced perturbations. Few studies have focused on the phylogenomic characteristics of ZAR1 and ZRK immune gene families and their evolutionary relationships.

- Researchers are studying the clustered distribution of metabolic genes in plants to understand biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) better.
- By comparing changes in the flanking regions of these genes across various species using synteny neighborhood networks (SNN), they have developed a workflow for analyzing gene relationships.
- The analysis of oxidosqualene cyclases (OSCs) in 122 plant species revealed conserved positional relationships with certain flanking genes, highlighting evolutionary patterns and variations in gene arrangements across different plant lineages.
Purpose: To evaluate the refractive prediction error of common intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas in patients who underwent intrascleral IOL fixation using the four-flanged technique.
Methods: This prospective, longitudinal, single-site, single-surgeon study's setting was the Department for Ophthalmology and Optometry, Medical University of Vienna, Austria. Patients who received IOL implantation via the four-flanged technique were followed up to 3 months after the operation.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the early developmental stages of the mayfly Ephemera vulgata, an ancient flying insect, to better understand ancestral modes of insect development which have been under-researched compared to more modern insects.
- Through DAPI staining and extensive RNA sequencing, researchers created a detailed expression atlas and identified over 6,000 differentially expressed genes across various developmental timepoints.
- The findings highlight a structured progression in embryonic development, revealing important correlations between genetic expression and the formation of major anatomical structures, as well as insights into the ancestral short germ segmentation process.
