Two proteins were purified from Listeria monocytogenes cell wall using detergent extraction, Superose 6 gel chromatography. Mono Q cation-exchange chromatography and Superose 12 gel chromatography. Proteins were shown to form complexes of ca. 300 kDa and pI 4.7. These complexes could not be dissociated in 6 M urea, however, during SDS-PAGE 79 and 39 kDa monomers were formed. Immunoblot analysis showed that the proteins under investigation were common to all listerial strains tested, but were absent in strains of other bacteria. We propose that the proteins investigated here could serve as immunoserological markers for Listeria.

We tested the effects of galactoglucomannan oligosaccharides (GGMOs) and/or cadmium (Cd) on peroxidase activity and the proteome in maize (Zea mays L.) roots and leaves. Our previous work confirmed that GGMOs ameliorate the symptoms of Cd stress in seedlings.

Uniform seed germination is crucial for consistent seedling emergence and efficient seedling production. In this study, we identified a seed-expressed protein in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), lateral organ boundaries domain 40 (SlLBD40), that regulates germination speed. CRISPR/Cas9-generated SlLBD40 knockout mutants exhibited faster germination due to enhanced seed imbibition, independent of the seed coat.

Certain coral individuals exhibit enhanced resistance to thermal bleaching, yet the specific microbial assemblages and their roles in these phenotypes remain unclear. We compared the microbial communities of thermal bleaching-resistant (TBR) and thermal bleaching-sensitive (TBS) corals using metabarcoding and metagenomics. Our multidomain approach revealed stable distinct microbial compositions between thermal phenotypes.

Flower appearance stands as a key characteristic of flowering plants and is closely linked to their ornamental value. Phytohormone Gibberellin (GA), essential for plant growth and development are widely reported for expansion in flower. DELLA proteins are known to negatively regulate GA signaling and influences plant growth and development through the regulation of cell expansion.

Recently, there has been growing interest in knowing the best hygrometry level during high-flow nasal oxygen and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and its potential influence on the outcome. Various studies have shown that breathing cold and dry air results in excessive water loss by nasal mucosa, reduced mucociliary clearance, increased airway resistance, reduced epithelial cell function, increased inflammation, sloughing of tracheal epithelium, and submucosal inflammation. With the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic, using high-flow nasal oxygen with a heated humidifier has become an emerging form of non-invasive support among clinicians.
