Identification and Functional Analysis of Strigolactone Pathway Genes Regulating Tillering Traits in Sugarcane.

Saccharum officinarum (S. officinarum) and Saccharum spontaneum (S. spontaneum) are two fundamental species of modern sugarcane cultivars, exhibiting divergent tillering patterns crucial for sugarcane architecture and yield.

Enhanced ethylenediamine detection using WO3-BiVO4 nanoflakes heterostructure with exceptional adsorption capabilities: Experimental and theoretical studies.

The present work describes the synthesis of WO3-BiVO4- nanoflakes heterostructure (NFHs) by a single step hydrothermal method. The analysis of crystalline phases and structural behavior deduced the formation of good crystal quality WO3-BiVO4 NFHs. Under microscopic observation, the as-prepared WO3-BiVO4 displayed uniform and conspicuous nanoflakes like structures.

Exploring the Replication and Pathogenic Characteristics of Alpha, Delta, and Omicron Variants of SARS-CoV-2.

The variants of concern (VOCs) of SARS-CoV-2 have exhibited different phenotypic characteristics in clinical settings which are yet to be fully explored. This study aimed to characterize the viral replication features of major VOCs of SARS-CoV-2 and their association with pathogenicity. The Alpha, Delta, and Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2 isolated from the COVID-19 patients in Japan were propagated in VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells.

A Complex Case of COVID-19 Pneumonitis in a Patient With Follicular Lymphoma.

Protracted COVID-19 is increasingly recognised in immunocompromised patients, particularly those with haematological malignancies. Here, we present the case of a patient with protracted COVID-19 and an underlying B-cell malignancy. Standard COVID-19 treatment with remdesivir and steroids proved ineffective in this patient as she continued to have evolving ground-glass opacities on imaging.
