A hydroponics experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of salinity (NaCl) and cadmium (Cd) stresses on growth, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant enzyme activities of three wheat cultivars differing in salt tolerance. Cd and NaCl stresses inhibited plant growth, reduced chlorophyll content, and increased melondialdehyde content and the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase. The combined effect of NaCl and Cd on these parameters was larger than both NaCl and Cd alone. There was an obvious difference in the response to the both stresses among the three genotypes, with Pir Sabak-85 being less affected.

For the effective growth of malignant tumors, including glioblastoma, the necessary factors involve endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, hypoxia, and the availability of nutrients, particularly glucose. The ER degradation enhancing alpha-mannosidase like protein 1 (EDEM1) is involved in ER-associated degradation (ERAD) targeting misfolded glycoproteins for degradation in an N-glycan-independent manner. EDEM1 was also identified as a new modulator of insulin synthesis and secretion.

Depletion of soil organic matter was found to be the primary biophysical factor causing declining per capita food production in sub-Saharan Africa. The magnitude of this problem was exacerbated by moisture-stress and imbalanced fertilizer application that caused Striga weed infestation. To address such confounded issues, two-year field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of residual vermicompost and preceding groundnut on soil fertility, sorghum yield, and Striga density.

The Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench, commonly known as okra, is increasingly cultivated in Indonesia due to its recognition as a functional food source. Current efforts in breeding new okra varieties are focused on high productivity, yet minimal information is available regarding selection criteria.

Novel treatment options are needed for the gastric pathogen due to its increasing antibiotic resistance. The vitamin K analogue menadione has been extensively studied due to interest in its anti-bacterial and anti-cancer properties. Here, we investigated the effects of menadione on growth, viability, antibiotic resistance, motility and gene expression using clinical isolates.

Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) are the most widely used herbicides in the United States, accounting for 19% of estimated global use. Although the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reaffirmed that the active ingredient glyphosate (GLY) is safe for humans, recent studies on exposure have suggested association with cancer, metabolic disorders, endocrine disruption and infertility, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, and psychological disorders. Current literature on the effects of GLY exposure on reproductive function suggests potential clinical implications on women's reproductive health, including polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, infertility, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
