The dataset presented in this article is associated with the TMT (Tandem mass tag) labeled proteomics of chili pepper plant () infested by a broad mite (). Data was captured using a nano liquid chromatography system coupled with high-resolution Orbitrap FusionTribridmass spectrometer. Proteomics data was analyzed using the Proteome Discoverer version 2.

Plant-pathogen interactions are key biological events that shape ecological dynamics, food production, agriculture and economy. In this context, is an economically and culturally significant chili pepper plant grown widely across the globe as an essential ingredient of hot sauces, chili concentrates, oleoresin flavors, and also in traditional medicines. An important pathogen that limits chili cultivation causing low yield and economic loss is the broad mite, .

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the genetic variations of the eNOS gene (specifically the -786T/C, Intron 4b/4a, and 894G/T polymorphisms) and their link to the higher prevalence of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) among young Indians and their first-degree relatives (FDRS).
  • - Results reveal that FDRS and CHD patients exhibit significantly higher risk factors (like obesity and family history) compared to healthy controls, alongside notable differences in eNOS genotype frequencies.
  • - The findings highlight the critical role of eNOS variations in CHD development and suggest potential for predicting coronary risks and developing preventative treatments for at-risk individuals.

Apoptosis plays an important role in atherogenesis and rupture of vulnerable plaques in coronary artery disease. FAS and FAS ligand (FASL) induce apoptosis when FAS binds to FAS-L. However sFas blocks apoptosis by binding to FAS and FASL or sFasL.

Background: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is clearly a multifactorial disease that develops from childhood and ultimately leads to death. Several reports revealed having a First Degree Relatives (FDRS) with premature CAD is a significant autonomous risk factor for CAD development. C - reactive protein (CRP) is a member of the pentraxin family and is the most widely studied proinflammatory biomarker.

Compared with unvaccinated challenged birds, day-old chicks vaccinated orally with live Salmonella typhimurium galactose epimerase mutant (G30D) and challenged orally after 14 days with a field strain of S. typhimurium had statistically significant reductions in fecal shedding (P less than 0.01), in salmonella carrier status at slaughter (P less than 0.

One experimental and two field studies were conducted to assess the input of the three most common pathogenic serotypes of Escherichia coli (01a, 02a, and 078) via the hatch debris, environment of turkey buildings, and feed and water supplied these turkeys. Air samples were also taken to assess the environmental load in the experimental study. These studies revealed that in one field trial the input of E.

Two separate experiments were conducted to assess the shed rate and duration of shed of S . typhimurium organisms from turkey poults orally infected with chlortetracycline-sensitive S. typhimurium in relation to chloretetracycline (CTC) given in the feed at 0, growth promotant, subtherapeutic and therapeutic levels; the emergence of resistant S.

Multiresistant Salmonella typhimurium donor and multisensitive Escherichia coli recipient spread from the infected group of turkey poults to the control group. Contact poults given only the S typhimurium donor and placed in the same cage with infected poults given both the donor and the E coli recipient exhibited in vivo patterns of antibiotic drug resistance transfer similar to the patterns obtained in the infected poults. This in vivo spread of antibiotic drug resistance in turkeys was established for the first time.

In vitro and in vivo transfers of antibiotic drug resistance were observed when isolates of multi-resistant Salmonella saint-paul and Escherichia coli donors were mated with multi-sensitive E coli and Salmonella typhimurium recipients, respectively. For in vivo studies, day-old turkey poults were used. Drug resistances were transferred either alone or in various combinations.

Antibiotic dipping with gentamicin sulfate by means of the temperature-differential method was effective in reducing but not completely eliminating Arizona hinshawii (7:1, 7, 8) from artificially infected turkey hatching eggs. Embryonic development was well maintained. The antibiotic dip solution intake was variable from egg to egg.
