Maize drought protection by Azospirillum argentinense Az19 requires bacterial trehalose accumulation.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol

December 2024

Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata (UNMdP), Ruta Provincial 226 Km 73.5, B7620, Balcarce, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Azospirillum argentinense Az19 is an osmotolerant plant growth-promoting bacterium that protects maize plants from drought. In this work, we explored the role of trehalose in the superior performance of Az19 under stress. The trehalase-coding gene treF was constitutively expressed in Az19 through a miniTn7 system.

It is crucial to investigate new anti-diabetic agents and therapeutic approaches targeting molecules in potential signaling pathways for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The objective of the study was to investigate the total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, α-glucosidase, and α-amylase inhibitory activities of Bolanthus turcicus (B. turcicus), as well as their cytotoxic, anti-adipogenic, anti-diabetic, apoptotic, and anti-migration potential on adipocytes.

Stimulation of histamine H-receptors produces a positive inotropic effect in the human atrium.

Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol

December 2024

Institute for Pharmacology and Toxicology, Medical Faculty, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Magdeburger Straße 4, D-06097, Halle (Saale), Germany.

There is a controversy whether histamine H-receptor activation raises or lowers or does not affect contractility in the human heart. Therefore, we studied stimulation of H-receptors in isolated electrically stimulated (one beat per second) human atrial preparations (HAP). For comparison, we measured force of contraction in left atrial preparations (LA) from mice with overexpression of the histamine H-receptor in the heart (H-TG).

Selection signatures associated with adaptation in South African Drakensberger, Nguni, and Tuli beef breeds.

Trop Anim Health Prod

December 2024

Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Natural & Agricultural Sciences, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa.

In the present study 1,709 cattle, including 1,118 Drakensberger (DRB), 377 Nguni (NGI), and 214 Tuli (TUL), were genotyped using the GeneSeek® Genomic Profiler™ 150 K bovine SNP panel. A genomic data set of 122,632 quality-filtered single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were used to identify selection signatures within breeds based on conserved runs of homozygosity (ROH) and heterozygosity (ROHet) estimated with the detectRUNS R package. The mean number of ROH per animal varied across breeds ranging from 36.
