Mitigation of the Negative Effect of Drought and Herbicide Treatment on Growth, Yield, and Stress Markers in Bread Wheat as a Result of the Use of the Plant Growth Regulator Azolen.

Most chemical pesticides, in addition to their main functions (protection against diseases, weeds, and pests), also have a noticeable inhibitory effect on target crops. In a laboratory experiment and two-year field experiments (Russia, Trans-Urals), a study was made of the effect of the biopreparation Azolen ( IB-4) on plants of the Ekada 113 wheat variety under conditions of drought and stress caused by the exposure to the herbicide Chistalan (2.4-D and dicamba).

Independent evaluation of the accuracy of 5 artificial intelligence software for detecting lung nodules on chest X-rays.

Background: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medicine is growing, with some experts predicting its standalone use soon. However, skepticism remains due to limited positive outcomes from independent validations. This research evaluates AI software's effectiveness in analyzing chest X-rays (CXR) to identify lung nodules, a possible lung cancer indicator.

Improving Tree Seedling Quality Using Humates Combined with Bacteria to Address Decarbonization Challenges through Forest Restoration.

Improving the quality of tree planting material for carbon sequestration through reforestation can help solve environmental problems, including the need to reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of using humic substances in combination with rhizosphere microorganisms DA1.2 and sp.

Effect of Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria on Antioxidant Status, Acetolactate Synthase Activity, and Growth of Common Wheat and Canola Exposed to Metsulfuron-Methyl.

Metsulfuron-methyl, a widely used herbicide, could cause damage to the sensitive plants in crop-rotation systems at extremely low levels in the soil. The potential of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) for enhancing the resistance of plants against herbicide stress has been discovered recently. Therefore, it is poorly understood how physiological processes occur in plants, while PGPB reduce the phytotoxicity of herbicides for agricultural crops.

Biodegradation Potential of C-C Perfluorocarboxylic Acids and Data from the Genome of a New Strain of 5(3).

The use of bacteria of the genus -destructors of persistent pollutants for biotechnologies of environmental purification-is an interesting area of research. The aim of this work was to study the potential of strain 5(3) isolated from pesticide-contaminated soil as a degrader of C-C perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) and analyze its complete genome. The genome of the strain has been fully sequenced.

The Growth-Inhibitory Effect of Increased Planting Density Can Be Reduced by Abscisic Acid-Degrading Bacteria.

High-density planting can increase crop productivity per unit area of cultivated land. However, the application of this technology is limited by the inhibition of plant growth in the presence of neighbors, which is not only due to their competition for resources but is also caused by growth regulators. Specifically, the abscisic acid (ABA) accumulated in plants under increased density of planting has been shown to inhibit their growth.

Draft genome sequence of perfluorinated acids C-C degrading bacterium 5(3), isolated from soil contaminated with pesticides.

The P 5(3) strain is a potential degrader of persistent perfluorinated pollutants, particularly C-C perfluorinated acids. The genome of the strain has been fully sequenced. It consists of a chromosome with a length of 5,676,241 base pairs and a G-C content of 64.

Clinical application of radiological AI for pulmonary nodule evaluation: Replicability and susceptibility to the population shift caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Purpose: replicability and generalizability of medical AI are the recognized challenges that hinder a broad AI deployment in clinical practice. Pulmonary nodes detection and characterization based on chest CT images is one of the demanded use cases for automatization by means of AI, and multiple AI solutions addressing this task are becoming available. Here, we evaluated and compared the performance of several commercially available radiological AI with the same clinical task on the same external datasets acquired before and during the pandemic of COVID-19.

Effects on 2,4-D and Humic Substances on the Growth, Pigment Indices and Concentration of Hormones in Wheat Seedlings Grown under Water Deficit.

The search for ways to increase plant productivity in drought conditions is of fundamental importance, since soil moisture deficiency is widespread and leads to critical crop losses. The aim of this study was to identify the effects of plant growth-promoting bacteria and humic substances on the growth, chlorophyll, flavonoids, nitrogen balance index, and concentration of cytokinins and abscisic acids in wheat plants grown in the laboratory under conditions of water deficit. An increase in the accumulation of plant mass was shown during the treatment of wheat plants with 2,4-D and humic substances in these conditions.

PGP-Bacterium Improves Bread Wheat Growth and Mitigates Herbicide and Drought Stress.

The reaction of plants to simultaneous stress action and treatment with biological stimulants still remains poorly studied. Laboratory and field experiments have been conducted to study the growth and yield of bread wheat ( L.) of the variety Ekada 113; stress markers and quantitative ratios of phytohormones in plants under insufficient soil moisture; the effects of spraying with herbicide containing 2,4-D and dicamba and growth-stimulating bacterium DA1.

Changes in software as a medical device based on artificial intelligence technologies.

Purpose: to develop a procedure for registering changes, notifying users about changes made, unifying software as a medical device based on artificial intelligence technologies (SaMD-AI) changes, as well as requirements for testing and inspections-quality control before and after making changes.

Methods: The main types of changes, divided into two groups-major and minor. Major changes imply a subsequent change of a SaMD-AI version to improve efficiency and safety, to change the functionality, and to ensure the processing of new data types.

Effects of Humic Substances on the Growth of 2,4-D and Wheat Plants Inoculated with This Strain.

Both rhizosphere bacteria and humic substances (HSs) can promote plant growth when applied individually and even greater effects of their combination have been demonstrated. We aimed to elucidate the relative importance of the stimulating effects of HSs on bacterial growth and the effects of the combination of bacteria and HSs on plants themselves. The effects of humic (HA) and fulvic acids (FA) (components of humic substances) on the growth of 2,4-D in vitro were studied.

Influence of Hydrocarbon-Oxidizing Bacteria on the Growth, Biochemical Characteristics, and Hormonal Status of Barley Plants and the Content of Petroleum Hydrocarbons in the Soil.

Much attention is paid to the relationship between bacteria and plants in the process of the bioremediation of oil-contaminated soils, but the effect of petroleum degrading bacteria that synthesize phytohormones on the content and distribution of these compounds in plants is poorly studied. The goal of the present field experiment was to study the effects of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria that produce auxins on the growth, biochemical characteristics, and hormonal status of barley plants in the presence of oil, as well as assessing the effect of bacteria and plants separately and in association with the content of oil hydrocarbons in the soil. The treatment of plants with strains of sp.

Effects of Association of Barley Plants with Hydrocarbon-Degrading Bacteria on the Content of Soluble Organic Compounds in Clean and Oil-Contaminated Sand.

Plant-bacteria consortia are more effective in bioremediation of petroleum contaminated soil than when either organism is used individually. The reason for this is that plant root exudates promote growth and activity of oil degrading bacteria. However, insufficient attention has been paid to the ability of bacteria to influence root exudation.

Capacity of Strains to Degrade Hydrocarbons, Produce Auxins and Maintain Plant Growth under Normal Conditions and in the Presence of Petroleum Contaminants.

The phytoremediation of soil contaminated with petroleum oil products relies on co-operation between plants and rhizosphere bacteria, including the plant growth-promoting effect of the bacteria. We studied the capacity of strains of , selected as oil degraders, to produce plant hormones and promote plant growth. Strains with intermediate auxin production were the most effective in stimulating the seedling growth of seven plant species under normal conditions.
