Article Synopsis
- Carbon dioxide (CO) is crucial for the photosynthesis of green plants, but greenhouse vegetables often suffer from low CO levels, especially after sunrise.
- Researchers explored genetic engineering by introducing genes related to the glycolate catabolic pathway into cucumber plants, which enhanced their photosynthesis and overall yield in low CO environments.
- The modified cucumbers showed significant improvements, with the partial pathway increasing net photosynthesis by 14.9% and biomass by 44.9%, while the full pathway led to increases of 33.4% in seed yield and 59.0% in biomass, demonstrating a better efficiency in photosynthesis even under CO constraints.
Background: The standard for early traumatic brain injury (TBI) seizure prophylaxis is phenytoin (PHT). Levetiracetam (LEV) has been proposed as an alternative to PHT. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LEV on TBI seizure when compared with PHT.
