Gentamicin (GM) is a generally utilized as an antibiotic against dangerous and life threatening contaminations, yet its value is restricted by the development of nephrotoxicity. The present investigation was intended to decide the defensive impact of salicylic acid (SA) in gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rabbits. Quantitative assessment of gentamicin-induced structural changes and level of functional modifications in the kidneys were performed by biochemical examinations keeping in mind the end goal is to decide the potential protective impacts of SA co-administration with gentamicin. Gentamicin was seen to cause a serious nephrotoxicity which was proved by a plasma urea, plasmacreatinine, plasma uric acid, plasma Na, plasma K, intra-erythrocyte Na and intra-erythrocyte K levels. On the other hand, simultaneous SA administration protected kidney tissue against the oxidative damage and the nephrotoxic effect caused by GM treatment. The outcomes from our investigation show that SA supplement lessens oxidative-stress related to renal damage by reducing oxygen free radicals in gentamicin-treated rabbits.

Introduction: Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is a threat to the citrus production and causes severe economic losses to the citrus industry. Ethylene response factors (ERFs) play important roles in plant growth and stress responses. Although ERF genes have been widely studied in model plants, little is known about their role in biological stress responses in fruit trees, such as citrus.

Tobacco is an economic crop that primarily relies on nitrate (NO) as its nitrogen source, and tobacco aphid is one of the significant pests that harm its growth. However, the impact of NO supply on the resistance of tobacco to aphids remains unclear. Present study investigated the effects of different NO concentrations supply on the reproductive capacity of tobacco aphids, impact of aphid infestation on tobacco growth, secondary metabolic and transcription changes.

DREB1A, a pivotal transcription factor, has long been known to regulate plant abiotic stress tolerance. However, its role in plant biotic stress tolerance and the underlying mechanisms have remained a mystery. Our research reveals that the maize ZmDREB1A gene is up-regulated in maize seedlings when the plants are infected by Rhizoctonia solani (R.

In this work, we report elastic integral, differential, and momentum-transfer cross sections for the scattering of low-energy electrons by salicylic acid. The cross sections were calculated with the Schwinger multichannel method implemented with norm-conserving pseudopotential within the static-exchange and static-exchange plus polarization (SEP) approximations for energies up to 15 eV. In the SEP approximation, four π* resonances were found at around 0.

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is a significant threat to tomato cultivation globally, transmitted exclusively by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. While previous research suggests that the TYLCV C2 protein plays a role in fostering mutualistic interactions between the virus and its insect vectors, the specific mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we show that the C2 protein interferes with the salicylic acid (SA) defence pathway by disrupting TCP7-like transcription factor-mediated regulation of TGA2 expression.
