Soybean is one of the most important food crops in the world. However, with the environmental change in recent years, many environmental factors like drought, salinity, heavy metal, and disease seriously affected the growth and development of soybean, causing substantial economic losses. In this study, we screened a bZIP transcription factor gene, , which is significantly induced by (), phytohormones, salt-, drought-, and heavy metal stresses in soybean. We found that overexpression of in () enhances the resistance to and the tolerance of salt, drought, and heavy metal stresses compared to wild-type (WT). The antioxidant enzyme related genes (including , and ) and their enzyme activities are induced by , salt, drought, and heavy metal stress in compared to WT. Furthermore, we also found that the expression level of biotic- and abiotic-related marker genes (, , , and etc.) were increased in compared to WT under and abiotic stresses. Moreover, we performed a Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay and found that GmbZIP152 could directly bind to promoters of ABA-, JA-, ETH-, and SA-induced biotic- and abiotic-related genes in soybean. Altogether, plays an essential role in soybean response to biotic and abiotic stresses.

More than 50 % of proteins bind to metal ions. Interactions between metal ions and proteins, especially coordinated interactions, are essential for biological functions, such as maintaining protein structure and signal transport. Physiological metal-ion binding prediction is pivotal for both elucidating the biological functions of proteins and for the design of new drugs.

Genotoxic effects in island populations of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia due to environmental exposure to mercury and cadmium.

F1000Res

January 2025

Doctorado en Medicina Tropical, Faculty of Medicine, Universidad de Cartagena, Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia.

Background: Contamination of Cartagena Bay, Colombia with heavy metals such as mercury (Hg) and cadmium (Cd) presents a major environmental and public health concern, particularly for human communities residing on nearby islands and coastal areas. These populations face enhanced exposure risks owing to their traditional fishing practices and continuous interactions with polluted marine environments. This study aimed to evaluate the genotoxic effects of environmental exposure to Hg and Cd in populations from the island zone of the Cartagena district, Bolívar.

Background: Metabolic-associated steatohepatitis and liver fibrosis (MASLD) is a growing public health concern, with environmental factors potentially playing a role in its development. This study aimed to investigate the associations between serum cadmium and mercury levels and the risk of MASLD in a nationally representative sample from the United States.

Methods: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2018 were analyzed.

Over the past few decades, the merger of photocatalysis and transition metal-based catalysis or self-photoexcitation of transition metals has emerged as a useful tool in organic transformations. In this context, cobalt-based systems have attracted significant attention as sustainable alternatives to the widely explored platinum group heavy metals (iridium, rhodium, ruthenium) for photocatalytic chemical transformations. This review encompasses the basic types of cobalt-based homogeneous photocatalytic systems, their working principles, and the recent developments (2018-2024) in C-X (X = C, N, O, H, Si) bond formations.
