Genome-wide identification of MGT gene family in soybean (Glycine max) and their expression analyses under magnesium stress conditions.

Background: Magnesium (Mg) is essential for plant growth and development and plays critical roles in physiological and biochemical processes. Mg deficiency adversely affects growth of plants by limiting shoot and root development, disturbing the structure and membranes of the grana, reducing photosynthesis efficiency, and lowering net CO assimilation. The MGT (Magnesium transporter) family is responsible for the absorption and transportation of magnesium in plants.

Teacher vaccinations enhance student achievement in Pakistan: The role of role models and theory of mind.

We provide experimental evidence that role models can galvanize prosocial actions amid global crises, exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. In a randomized control trial comparing role models, cash incentives, and celebrity endorsements, only role models successfully mitigated vaccine reluctance and ameliorated pandemic-induced educational setbacks. Monthly tracking of vaccination status was achieved via QR-code-verified certificates.

Enhanced aqueous phosphorus removal and mechanism by water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica Forsk) pretreated with lanthanum nitrate.

Excess nutrients such as phosphate (PO entering surface waters promote eutrophication, and phosphorous (P) removal is important to clear the water. Phytoremediation efforts have been used to improve water quality by varieties of P removal plants, such as water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica Forsk). Water spinach can reduce both internal and external resources of phosphorus from waterbody.

Chronic bisphenol A induced neurotoxicity: Exposure risk, molecular fate within carp and its potential phytoremediation.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine-disrupting toxicant commonly used in the plastics industry, as a result, it is present in large quantities in the environment. Therefore, current study was designed to assess BPA induced neurotoxicity and molecular fate within common carp (Cyprinus carpio), largely used edible fish. Following 6 weeks exposure to BPA 1/5th of 96 h LC (1.
