Article Synopsis
- Surface ozone (O) is harmful to urban plants, and understanding its impact on different tree species is crucial for urban environments.
- The study developed a stomatal conductance model for ten urban plant species in northern China, showing that time of day and diurnal O levels significantly affect how plants absorb O.
- The findings revealed that plant types (like greening trees vs. shrubs) respond differently to ozone based on their light sensitivity and growing seasons, and these insights can help guide policies to improve plant health in polluted urban areas.

Article Synopsis
- * A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted on participants who received COVID-19 vaccines, revealing that certain human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles, particularly HLA-DRB113:02, are associated with better antibody responses.
- * The findings highlight the role of specific genetic factors in vaccine response and suggest that understanding these variations can help improve vaccination strategies for better protection against COVID-19 across different populations.
