This study reveals that the process of crown root development and auxin-induced de novo root organogenesis during in vitro plantlet regeneration share a common auxin-OsWOX10 regulatory module in rice. In the fibrous-type root system of rice, the crown roots (CR) are developed naturally from the shoot tissues. Generation of robust auxin response, followed by activation of downstream cell fate determinants and signaling pathways at the onset of crown root primordia (CRP) establishment is essential for new root initiation.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to understand the prevalence of secondary bacterial and fungal infections in hospitalized COVID-19 patients in India, and how these infections influence patient outcomes and control measures.
- A comprehensive analysis of electronic health records from 10 hospitals revealed that 9.8% of the 19,852 COVID-19 patients developed secondary infections, which were significantly more common in older patients and those with severe disease.
- The most frequent infections were urinary (41.7%) and blood-related (30.8%), with Gram-negative bacilli being the predominant pathogens, leading to increased hospitalization duration for affected patients.
