The Medicago truncatula ornithine aminotransferase cDNA was cloned under the potent constitutive 35S RNA promoter of the cauliflower mosaic virus and transferred into the genome of tobacco Nicotiana tabacum SR1 plants. Transformed tobacco plants grew better in salinity stress, but did not differ in proline content under normal or stress conditions from control plants. It was assumed that the role of ornithine aminotransferase in the molecular mechanisms of stress resistance is not associated with additional proline synthesis.

High-quality aromatic rice (HAR) is most sensitive to low-temperature stress at the booting stage (LTB), and LTB leads to quality reduction. The key enzymes involved in nitrogen and carbon metabolism significantly affect the synthesis of proteins and starch, thereby influencing the nutritional and taste quality of rice. However, to date, no studies have focused on the after-effects of low-temperature at booting on the quality formation of HAR.

Sucrose (SUC) is a signaling molecule with multiple physiological functions. G protein is a kind of receptor that converts extracellular first messenger into intracellular second messenger. However, it is little known that SUC interplays with G protein signaling in maize thermotolerance.

Background: Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a major clinical issue characterized by progressive stages, including hepatic steatosis, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and HCC. Patients with long-term chronic alcoholism often present with gut microbiota dysbiosis and reduced plasma levels of vitamin B6. This study aimed to verify that gut microbiota disruption in ALD significantly contributes to reduced in vivo production of vitamin B6 and to investigate the role of this reduction in the pathogenesis of ALD.

Purpose: Description of retinal phenotype by structural and functional testing, ornithine plasma levels and mutational data of OAT gene in patients with Gyrate Atrophy (GA).
Methods: Ophthalmologic examination, fundus photography (CFP), autofluorescence (FAF), spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), Goldmann perimetry (GP), full-field electroretinogram (ffERG) and chromatic perimetry (CP) testing were performed. Ornithine plasma levels were measured.
Unveiling the chromate stress response in the marine bacterium Bacillus enclensis AGM_Cr8: a multifaceted investigation.

Article Synopsis
- - The study introduces Bacillus enclensis AGM_Cr8, a marine bacterium found in polluted Versova Creek, Mumbai, that displays significant tolerance to chromate stress and other heavy metals such as lead and arsenic.
- - Various microscopic techniques show how AGM_Cr8 absorbs chromate, with evidence of both surface interaction and internal bioaccumulation, suggesting a bioreduction mechanism that converts harmful Cr(VI) into less toxic Cr(III).
- - Genome sequencing reveals twenty-two genes related to chromate tolerance and detoxification processes, indicating AGM_Cr8's potential for bioremediation of chromium contamination in the environment.
