Article Synopsis
- * Exposure to increasing concentrations of NB (from 0 to 100 mg/L) led to significant reductions in rice growth, with roots being more affected than shoots, indicating NB's phytotoxicity.
- * NB also caused structural damage and biochemical changes in rice seedlings, such as decreased chlorophyll levels and increased stress markers, emphasizing the risk of NB accumulation in irrigated crops.
Myo-inositol oxygenase (MIOX), a pivotal enzyme in the myo-inositol oxygenation pathway, catalyzes the cleavage of myo-inositol to UDP-glucuronic acid and plays a major role in plant adaptation to abiotic stress factors. However, studies pertaining to the MIOX gene family in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) are lacking.

In the COVID-19 outbreak year 2020, a consensus was reached on the fact that SARS-CoV-2 spreads through aerosols. However, finding an efficient method to detect viruses in aerosols to monitor the risk of similar infections and enact effective control remains a great challenge. Our study aimed to build a swirling aerosol collection (SAC) device to collect viral particles in exhaled breath and subsequently detect SARS-CoV-2 using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
