A 2-gram fresh weight inoculum of bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss. culture BG970) cell suspension culture treated with 7.5 x 10(-5) molar abscisic acid (ABA) for 7 days at 25 degrees C survived slow cooling to -60 degrees C. Over 80% of the cells in ABA treated cultures survived immersion in liquid N(2) after slow cooling to -40 or -60 degrees C. In contrast, a 6-gram fresh weight inoculum only attained a hardiness level of -28 degrees C after 5 days of ABA treatment. Ethanol (2 x 10(-2) molar) added to the culture medium at the time of ABA addition, inhibited the freezing tolerance of bromegrass cells by 25 degrees C. A 6-gram inoculum of both control and ABA treated bromegrass cells altered the pH of the medium more than a 2-gram inoculum. ABA inhibited the increase in fresh weight of bromegrass by 20% after 4 days. Both control and ABA (10(-4) molar) treated alfalfa cells (Medicago sativa L.) grown at 25 degrees C hardened from an initial LT(50) of -5 degrees C to an LT(50) of -23 degrees C by the third to fifth day after subculture. Thereafter, the cells dehardened but the ABA treated cells did not deharden to the same level as the control cells. ABA inhibited the increase in fresh weight of alfalfa by 50% after 5 days.

Impact of glioma metabolism-related gene ALPK1 on tumor immune heterogeneity and the regulation of the TGF-β pathway.
Front Immunol

Department of Neurological Care Unit, The First Affiliated Hospital of YangTze University, Jingzhou, Hubei, China.
Background: Recent years have seen persistently poor prognoses for glioma patients. Therefore, exploring the molecular subtyping of gliomas, identifying novel prognostic biomarkers, and understanding the characteristics of their immune microenvironments are crucial for improving treatment strategies and patient outcomes.
Methods: We integrated glioma datasets from multiple sources, employing Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) to cluster samples and filter for differentially expressed metabolic genes.
Does the habitual dietary intake of adults in Bavaria, Germany, match dietary intake recommendations? Results of the 3rd Bavarian Food Consumption Survey.

Chair of Epidemiology, University of Augsburg, Augsburg, Germany.
Objective: Monitoring dietary habits is crucial for identifying shortcomings and delineating countermeasures. About 20 years after the last population-based surveys in Bavaria and Germany, dietary habits were assessed to describe the intake distributions and compare these with recommendations at food and nutrient level.
Methods: The 3rd Bavarian Food Consumption Survey (BVS III) was designed as a diet survey representative of adults in Bavaria; from 2021 to 2023, repeated 24-h diet recalls were collected by telephone using the software GloboDiet©.
Genetic insights and therapeutic avenues: unraveling the role of polyunsaturated fatty acids as mediators between hypothyroidism and Von Willebrand disease through Mendelian randomization.

Department of Neurology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: Previous observational studies have shown that Hypothyroidism is associated with Von Willebrand Disease (VWD), but the causal relationship has not been confirmed because of conflicting findings and confounding by mixing factors. There are also some studies suggesting that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) may be one of the potential mediators. In this study, we used a Mendelian randomization study to analyze the causal relationship between Hypothyroidism and VWD and to investigate whether polyunsaturated fatty acids mediate the effects of Hypothyroidism on VWD.

This study evaluated a dual management approach to enhance plant-growth by improving soil fertility, reducing pathogenic stress using PGPR that affect phosphorus-transporter (pht) genes. Among 213 maize rhizobacterial isolates, 40 demonstrated the ability to solubilize tri-calcium phosphate, potassium, zinc, and silicon, showing various PGP traits. Nine of these isolates exhibited significant antagonistic activity against the plant pathogens Colletotrichum chlorophyti and Xanthomonas axonopodis.

Cultivable microbial communities associated with plants inhabiting extreme environments have great potential in biotechnological applications. However, there is a lack of knowledge about these microorganisms from Bryophyllum pinnatum (which survives in severely barren soil) and their ability to promote plant growth. The present study focused on the isolation, identification, biochemical characterization, and potential applications of root endophytic bacteria and rhizosphere bacteria.
