The global scarcity of irrigation water poses a significant challenge to the sustainable production of rice and its availability worldwide. With a growing population driving increased demand for rice, it is crucial to enhance rice production while minimizing water usage. Achieving this requires a comprehensive understanding of the complex interactions between water and nitrogen dynamics and the formulation of strategies to optimize the application of irrigation water and nitrogen fertilizers.

The leaf color chart (LCC), being one of the handy tool, is put to use for the estimation of the indirect leaf N, and also heightens the competence of crop N administration. Integrating leaf color chart assessments into maize cultivation practices can provide a practical and cost-effective approach for tailoring nitrogen applications, leading to improved resource-use efficiency and sustainable maize production.

- - Insufficient vitamin D levels are linked to chronic conditions like cancers, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, particularly coronary artery disease (CAD), with enzymes involved in vitamin D metabolism potentially affecting these levels.
- - The study analyzed genetic mutations (rs1562902 C > T, rs12255372 G > T, and Δ32 bp deletion) for their relationships with reduced vitamin D and CAD risk, using specific PCR techniques for genotyping.
- - Results showed significant associations between certain genetic variants and higher CAD risk, particularly the rs1562902 C > T genotype and Δ32 deletion, suggesting these mutations may be genetic indicators for CAD susceptibility.
MTAN is an attainable therapeutic target for H. pylori because it may minimize virulence production, limit resistance, and impair quorum sensing without affecting gut flora. Here, 457 compounds with anti-H.

Objectives: Does switching from cigarettes to HTPs improve responses to pulmonary infection.
Methods: We conducted experiments in which 3 groups of mice were pre-exposed to cigarette smoke for 8 weeks, followed by 8-week exposure to (1) HTPs (tobacco product switching), (2) air (smoking cessation), or (3) continued exposure to cigarette smoke.
