Y-box-binding protein 1 (YBX1) is a multifunctional oncoprotein with its nuclear localization contributing to chemo-resistance in breast cancer. Through its interactions with various proteins and lncRNAs, YBX1 promotes cancer cell migration, invasion, and metastasis. Despite its significant role in cancer progression, studies on YBX1's protein-protein interactions (PPIs) remain limited.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on creating a quick and effective method for transforming soybean plants, specifically targeting the apical meristem using modified half-seed explants from the JS335 cultivar.
  • Different durations of sonication and vacuum infiltration were tested, with optimal results showing a transformation efficiency of up to 38% when both techniques were used for 10 minutes each.
  • The new regeneration protocol has the potential for broader application, as it achieved enhanced transformation efficiency in other Indian soybean cultivars, potentially addressing challenges in soybean genetic engineering.

The present study aims to investigate the impact of externally applied stevioside (a sugar-based glycoside) on soybean root growth by examining morpho-physiological characteristics, biochemical parameters, and gene expression. Soybean seedlings (10-day-old) were treated with stevioside (0, 8.0 μM, 24.

Arsenic is a highly toxic metalloid widespread in the Earth's crust, and its contamination due to different anthropogenic activities (application of agrochemicals, mining, waste management) represents an emerging environmental issue. Therefore, different sustainable and effective remediation methods and approaches are needed to prevent and protect humans and other organisms from detrimental arsenic exposure. Among numerous arsenic remediation methods, those supported by using microbes as (microbial remediation), and/or plants as (phytoremediation) are considered as cost-effective and environmentally-friendly bioremediation.

In this piece of work, microwave-assisted conversion of a natural precursor in to high-valued nano-scale material was carried out by a completely greener method. The fluorescent carbon dots prepared, designated as long pepper derived carbon dots (LPCDs), have been thoroughly characterized to explore the physical and chemical properties. The system exhibits excitation dependent emission behavior and from the optimal studies the excitation and emission wavelength of the system was found to be 330 nm and 455 nm respectively.
