Background: Random induced mutation by gamma radiation is one of the genetic manipulation strategies to improve the antagonistic ability of biocontrol agents.
Objectives: This study aimed to induce mutants with more sporulation, colonization rate leading to enhanced antagonistic ability ( assay) comparing to wild type (WT) and the assessment of genetic differences (in situ evaluation) using molecular markers. The superior mutants could be appropriate biocontrol agents against soil borne fungal diseases.
Materials And Methods: In this research sampling and isolation of isolates were performed from soils with low incidence of soil borne disease. 65 was selected and irradiation was conducted with gammacell at optimal dose 250 Gray/s. Mutants (115) were obtained from the WT. The antagonistic abilities of twenty-four mutants were evaluated using dual culture and culture filtrate tests.
Results: The results of assays revealed that and mutants exhibited stronger growth inhibition (GI) and colonization rate on and AG4 compared to the wild type. and mutants exhibited stronger GI and colonization rate on in dual culture and culture filtrate tests and and mutants exhibited stronger GI on in culture filtrate test. The DNA fingerprinting was carried out using RAPD and rep-PCR markers. Two ( and ) out of the 24 mutants categorized distantly from the rest based on different polymorphism obtained by molecular markers. However, was different in GI% from . RAPD analysis separated WT from mutants, from and also phenotypically superior mutants from other mutants. Meanwhile, rep-PCR analysis categorized WT isolate and mutants according to their antagonistic properties.
Conclusions: The latter marker (rep-PCR) appeared to be reproducible and simple to distinguish mutants from a single isolate of . Mutants (3 isolates) were phenotypically and genotypically distinct from WT. These mutants demonstrated a pronounced biocontrol activities against soilborne fungal phytopathogens.

In many plants, the asymmetric division of the zygote sets up the apical-basal body axis. In the cress , the zygote coexpresses regulators of the apical and basal embryo lineages, the transcription factors WOX2 and WRKY2/WOX8, respectively. WRKY2/WOX8 activity promotes nuclear migration, cellular polarity, and mitotic asymmetry of the zygote, which are hallmarks of axis formation in many plant species.

Malignant gliomas are heterogeneous tumors, mostly incurable, arising in the central nervous system (CNS) driven by genetic, epigenetic, and metabolic aberrations. Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1/2) enzymes are predominantly found in low-grade gliomas and secondary high-grade gliomas, with IDH1 mutations being more prevalent. Mutant-IDH1/2 confers a gain-of-function activity that favors the conversion of a-ketoglutarate (α-KG) to the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), resulting in an aberrant hypermethylation phenotype.

Historically considered to be nonenveloped, hepatitis E virus (HEV), an important zoonotic pathogen, has recently been discovered to egress from infected cells as quasi-enveloped virions. These quasi-enveloped virions circulating in the blood are resistant to neutralizing antibodies, thereby facilitating the stealthy spread of infection. Despite abundant evidence of the essential role of the HEV-encoded ORF3 protein in quasi-enveloped virus formation, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Objective: This study focuses on epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated lung adenocarcinoma, known for frequent brain metastasis. It aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of combining Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) (GKRS+TKI group) versus TKIs alone (TKI group) for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed brain metastasis in this condition.
Methods: Study characteristics of the two groups were matched using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW).
