Principal component analysis (PCA) has been applied to three nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral editing methods, namely, the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill spin-echo, diffusion editing, and skyline projection of a two-dimensional J-resolved spectrum, obtained from high-resolution magic-angle spinning NMR spectroscopy of liver tissues, to distinguish between control and hydrazine-treated rats. The effects of the toxin on rat liver biochemistry were directly observed and characterized by depleted levels of liver glycogen, choline, taurine, trimethylamine N-oxide, and glucose and by elevated levels of lipids and alanine. The highly unsaturated omega-3-type fatty acid was observed for the first time in hydrazine-treated rat liver. The contributions of the metabolites to the separation of control from dosed liver tissues varied depending on the type of spectral editing method used. We have shown that subtle changes in the metabolic profiles can be selectively amplified using a metabonomics approach based on the different NMR spectral editing techniques in conjunction with PCA.

Mid-infrared spectroscopy is a technology used globally for quantifying the concentration of fat, protein, lactose and other constituents in the milk samples of both individual animals and bulk tank milk. Differences in the milk components and yield of cows are known to exist between morning and evening milk; nonetheless, differences in the spectra originating from the same cow from morning and evening milkings have never been investigated. Data was obtained from 2,602 dairy cows from 7 research farms in Ireland.

Article Synopsis
- Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), caused by the bacterium "Liberibacter asiaticus," is a serious threat to citrus crops and currently has no effective cure or known susceptibility genes in Citrus species.
- We conducted a genome-wide analysis of the DnaJ gene family in various Citrus species, identifying 86 genes spread across nine chromosomes, and classifying them into six groups.
- Our research found that some DnaJ genes are significantly more active in HLB-infected tissues and suggested that silencing a specific gene could reduce disease resistance, laying groundwork for future breeding of disease-resistant citrus varieties.

The nutritional quality of bananas and their geographical origin authenticity are very important for trade. There is an urgent need for rapid, non-destructive testing to improve the origin and quality assurance for importers, distributors, and consumers. In this study, 99 banana samples from a range of producing countries were collected.

Background: Over the past few decades, the scientific community has recognized the impact of physical activity on health and performance. In parallel, researchers have been actively exploring novel methodologies to analyze the physiological and metabolic responses to exercise. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool in this effort, offering the potential to provide unique insights into exercise-related changes at the molecular level.

Purpose: To define the location of mglur6 paralogs in the outer zebrafish retina and delineate their contribution to retina light responses across the visual spectrum.
Methods: In situ hybridization and immunolocalization with custom-made antibodies were used to localize mglur6 transcripts, proteins, and additional components of the mGluR6 signaling complex. Gene editing was used to generate knockout mutants that were analyzed with white light and spectral electroretinography.
