The BRAHMA-associated SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex controls Arabidopsis seed quality and physiology.

The SWI/SNF (SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable) chromatin remodeling complex is involved in various aspects of plant development and stress responses. Here, we investigated the role of BRM (BRAHMA), a core catalytic subunit of the SWI/SNF complex, in Arabidopsis thaliana seed biology. brm-3 seeds exhibited enlarged size, reduced yield, increased longevity, and enhanced secondary dormancy, but did not show changes in primary dormancy or salt tolerance.

Pseudomonas produce various metabolites displaying herbicide activity against broomrape.

Pseudomonads are well-known for their plant growth-promoting properties and biocontrol capabilities against microbial pathogens. Recently, their potential to protect crops from parasitic plants has garnered attention. This study investigates the potential of different Pseudomonas strains to inhibit broomrape growth and to protect host plants against weed infestation.

Honeybee gut bacterial strain improved survival and gut microbiota homeostasis in exposed to clothianidin.

Unlabelled: Pesticides are causing honeybee mortality worldwide. Research carried out on honeybees indicates that application of pesticides has a significant impact on the core gut community, which ultimately leads to an increase in the growth of harmful pathogens. Disturbances caused by pesticides also affect the way bacterial members interact, which results in gut microbial dysbiosis.

Camptocormia in Parkinson Disease: Systematic Review of Management Using Spine Surgery.

Objective: Postural abnormalities are a debilitating symptom of Parkinson disease (PD) that may require spinal intervention. Camptocormia is a unique abnormality most seen in PD, defined by a severe forward flexion of the trunk that completely resolves when supine. The condition presents a challenge due to an undefined pathophysiology and optimal therapeutic approach in a high-risk patient population.
