The synthesis of DNA, RNA, protein and dry matter was followed in the elongating cells of hypocotyl of Lupinus (Lupinus angustifolius L.) germinating in total darkness or in continuous light. Light strongly inhibits the synthesis of DNA, RNA and protein. It was shown by histofluorometric DNA determinations that a reduced synthesis of DNA in continuous light is accompanied by a lower level of endomitosis in the cortex cells of the hypocotyl. In the dark cortex nuclei become 8 C while in the light they become only 4 C. The more pronounced differences between dark and light germinated hypocotyls of lupinus in comparison with pea epicotyls is explained to a great extent by mitotic growth.

Background: Drug resistance constitutes one of the principal causes of poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. Although cancer cells can maintain viability independently of mitochondrial energy metabolism, they remain reliant on mitochondrial functions for the synthesis of new DNA strands. This dependency underscores a potential link between mitochondrial energy metabolism and drug resistance.

Azurin, a bacterial blue-copper protein, has garnered significant attention as a potential anticancer drug in recent years. Among twenty Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, we identified one isolate that demonstrated potent and remarkable azurin synthesis using the VITEK 2 system and 16S rRNA sequencing. The presence of the azurin gene was confirmed in the genomic DNA using specific oligonucleotide primers, and azurin expression was also detected in the synthesized cDNA, which revealed that the azurin expression is active.

Ameson portunus, the causative agent of "toothpaste disease" in Portunus trituberculatus and "slurry-like syndrome" in Scylla paramamosain, has resulted in considerable economic losses in the marine crab aquaculture industry in China. Practical control strategies are yet unavailable. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are crucial components of gene regulation of intracellular parasites, however, their roles in regulating the microsporidia-host interaction remain limited.

The origins and prehistory of domestic sheep () are incompletely understood; to address this, we generated data from 118 ancient genomes spanning 12,000 years sampled from across Eurasia. Genomes from Central Türkiye ~8000 BCE are genetically proximal to the domestic origins of sheep but do not fully explain the ancestry of later populations, suggesting a mosaic of wild ancestries. Genomic signatures indicate selection by ancient herders for pigmentation patterns, hornedness, and growth rate.
