Exposing all of a wild-type tomato plant to electromagnetic radiation evoked rapid and substantial accumulation of basic leucine-zipper transcription factor (bZIP) mRNA in the terminal leaf (#4) with kinetics very similar to that seen in response to wounding, while in the abscisic acid (ABA) mutant (Sitiens), the response was more rapid, but transient. Submitting just the oldest leaf (#1) of a wild-type plant to irradiation evoked bZIP mRNA accumulation both locally in the exposed leaf and systemically in the unexposed (distant) leaf #4, although systemic accumulation was delayed somewhat. Accumulation of Pin2 mRNA was less than bZIP in both the exposed and distant leaves in wild type, but there was no delay in the systemic response. In Sitiens, bZIP mRNA accumulation was far less than in wild type in both local and distant leaves, while Pin2 mRNA accumulation was stronger in the exposed leaf, but totally prevented in the systemic leaf. In the jasmonic acid (JA) mutant (JL-5) and in wild-type plants treated with the ABA biosynthesis inhibitor, naproxen, responses were similar to those in the ABA mutant, while treatment of the exposed leaf with calcium antagonists totally abolished both local and systemic increases in bZIP transcript accumulation.

Better knowledge of the molecular actors governing sequential amyloid precursor protein (APP) proteolysis is crucial to endorse novel therapies aimed to delay Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression. ADAM17 (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase 17) is a type-I transmembrane protease involved in the non-amyloidogenic processing of APP that contributes to the maintenance of synaptic functions. In this work, we analyzed the 5'-flanking region and first intron of ADAM17 gene employing an in silico analysis.

Plants and algae use light not only for driving photosynthesis but also to sense environmental cues and to adjust their circadian clocks via photoreceptors. Aureochromes are blue-light-dependent photoreceptors that also function as transcription factors, possessing both a LOV and a bZIP domain. Aureochromes so far have only been detected in Stramenopile algae, which include the diatoms.

Background: Plant growth and development are severely threatened by drought and salt stresses. Compared with structural genes, transcription factors (TFs) play more pivotal roles in plant growth and stress adaptation. However, the underlying mechanisms of sorghum adapting to drought and salt are insufficient, and systematic analysis of TFs in response to the above stresses is lacking.

Article Synopsis
- Oxidative stress contributes to neurodegenerative diseases, and while there's progress in understanding protection for neurons, astrocytes are less studied in this context.
- Research reveals that prolactin (PRL) boosts antioxidant defenses in astrocytes, showing increased activity of key enzymes like SOD and GPX, while preventing cell death caused by oxidative stress.
- The protective effects of PRL involve the activation of STAT3 and NRF2 pathways, leading to enhanced expression of antioxidant genes, highlighting PRL's potential as an important neuroprotective molecule for astrocytes.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on comparing two genotypes of Thymus daenensis, 'Zagheh-11' and 'Malayer-21', to identify differences in their phytochemical contents and related gene expressions.
- Both genotypes were analyzed for secondary metabolites at different growth stages, revealing significant differences, especially at the early flowering stage, and extensive gene expression data was collected through mRNA sequencing.
- Results showed 'Zagheh-11' had much higher levels of carvacrol and triterpenic acids, while 'Malayer-21' was richer in thymol, with gene analysis indicating distinct metabolic pathways influencing these variations.
