Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSBs) were isolated from different plant rhizosphere soils of various agroecological regions of India. These isolates showed synthesis of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), production of gluconic acid, and release of phosphorus from insoluble tricalcium phosphate. The bacterial isolates synthesizing PQQ also showed higher tolerance to ultraviolet C radiation and mitomycin C as compared to Escherichia coli but were less tolerant than Deinococcus radiodurans. Unlike E. coli, PSB isolates showed higher tolerance to DNA damage when grown in the absence of inorganic phosphate. Higher tolerance to ultraviolet C radiation and oxidative stress in these PSBs grown under PQQ synthesis inducible conditions, namely phosphate starvation, might suggest the possible additional role of this redox cofactor in the survival of these isolates under extreme abiotic stress conditions.

Cytosine methylation (mCG) is an important heritable epigenetic modification, yet its functions remain to be fully defined in important crops. This study investigates mCG in soybean following the loss-of-function mutation of two GmMET1 genes. We generated knockout mutants of GmMET1s by CRISPR-Cas9 and conducted comprehensive methylome and transcriptome analyses.

Our aim was to elucidate mechanisms underlying nitrogen (N)-deficiency tolerance in bread wheat (cultivar Ruta), conferred by a wild emmer wheat QTL (WEW; IL99). We hypothesised that the tolerance in IL99 is driven by enhanced N-uptake through modification of root system architecture (RSA) underscored by transcriptome modifications. Severe N-deficiency (0.

Introduction/aims: Stimulated jitter analysis (stim-JA) involves analyzing the variation in time intervals between stimulations and action potentials, expressed as the mean consecutive difference (MCD). The MCD upper limits are derived from adult populations and warrant a re-evaluation in children to accurately diagnose neuromuscular junction (NMJ) defects.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted which analyzed orbicularis oculi stim-JA studies performed on children between January 2014 and December 2021.
