SignificanceOscillations in intracellular calcium concentration play an essential role in the regulation of multiple cellular processes. In plants capable of root endosymbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria and/or arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, nuclear localized calcium oscillations are essential to transduce the microbial signal. Although the ion channels required to generate the nuclear localized calcium oscillations have been identified, their mechanisms of regulation are unknown. Here, we combined proteomics and engineering approaches to demonstrate that the calcium-bound form of the calmodulin 2 (CaM2) associates with CYCLIC NUCLEOTIDE GATED CHANNEL 15 (CNGC15s), closing the channels and providing the negative feedback to sustain the oscillatory mechanism. We further unraveled that the engineered CaM2 accelerates early endosymbioses and enhanced root nodule symbiosis but not arbuscular mycorrhization.

Article Synopsis
- Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is a beneficial relationship between plant roots and fungi that helps plants absorb nutrients and cope with environmental stresses.
- RNA-seq technology was used to analyze the gene expression in tomato roots at 7 and 30 days after being inoculated with the fungus, identifying 1,019 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with a strong emphasis on plant defense, growth, and nutrient transport.
- The study offers new insights into the role of AM-responsive genes in tomato roots, enhancing our understanding of the interactions between plants and symbiotic fungi over short and long durations.
Aging of Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System of the Face-Novel Biomarkers and Micro-CT Relevance of Facial Anti-Gravity Support.

The soft superficial tissues of the face are against gravity through an intricate network of ligaments and ligamentous attachments. The aim of this investigation is to delineate the relationship between the muscular, fibrous, and vascular components of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system of the face (SMAS) at the level of its periosteal fixation areas from advanced radiological and novel biomarkers' perspectives. These areas represent key points underlying skin aging and the longevity of restorative surgery results.

Article Synopsis
- Ethylene hormone is crucial for the ripening of climacteric fruits like apples, and its biosynthesis can be inhibited by calcium ions (Ca2+), though the exact mechanism is not fully understood.
- Researchers identified an apple transcription factor, MdCRF4, that activates genes involved in ethylene production and signaling in partnership with calmodulin, a calcium sensor.
- Ca2+ leads to the phosphorylation and subsequent degradation of MdCRF4, lowering the expression of important genes and reducing ethylene biosynthesis, which in turn delays fruit ripening and may help develop methods to extend the shelf life of apples.
