Ethylene Is Crucial in Abscisic Acid-Mediated Modulation of Seed Vigor, Growth, and Photosynthesis of Salt-Treated Mustard.

The current study explored the differential interaction between ethylene (ET) and abscisic acid (ABA) in relation to salt stress in mustard ( L.) plants. Significant reductions in seed germination, growth, and photosynthesis were observed with 100 mmol NaCl.

OsNAC121 regulates root development, tillering, panicle morphology, and grain filling in rice plant.

Transcription factors in coordination with phytohormones form an intricate regulatory network modulating vital cellular mechanisms like development, growth and senescence in plants. In this study, we have functionally characterized the transcription factor OsNAC121 by developing gene silencing and overexpressing transgenic rice plants, followed by detailed analyses of the plant architecture. Transgenic lines exhibited remodelling in crown root development, lateral root structure and density, tiller height and number, panicle and grain morphologies, underpinning the imbalanced auxin: cytokinin ratio due to perturbed auxin transportation.

Balloon dacryoplasty: A boon for dacryologists in managing persistent congenital nasolacrimal duct obstructions.

Purpose: To study the outcomes of balloon dacryoplasty (BD) or (BDCP) in children with persistent congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (pCNLDO) by using new and reused balloon catheters.

Methods: Our retrospective analysis focused on managing pCNLDO by using the BD or BDCP technique. The study included children aged >1 year to <12 years who underwent single or multiple probings before.
