Unlabelled: Yield reduction in lentil crop due to weed infestation is a key hindrance to its growth due to poor weed-crop competition. Imazethapyr (IM), a selective herbicide, target acetolactate synthase (ALS) which catalyzes the first reaction in biosynthesis of branched chain amino acids, required for plant growth and development. The objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of IM treatment on weeds, ALS enzyme activity, antioxidant capacity, osmolyte accumulation, growth and yield related parameters in lentil genotypes. Two IM tolerant (LL1397 and LL1612) and two susceptible (FLIP2004-7L and PL07) lentil genotypes were cultivated under weed free, weedy check and IM treatments. Weed control efficiency reached its peak at 21 days after spray (DAS). Imazethapyr treatment decreased chlorophyll and carotenoid content up to 28 DAS with higher reduction in susceptible genotypes. FLIP2004-7L and PL07 had reduced plant height and lower number of pods under IM treatment which resulted in decreased seed yield. Higher ALS activity in LL1397 and LL1612 at 21 DAS, higher antioxidant capacity and glycine betaine content both at 21 and 28 DAS and lower decrease in relative leaf water content might be mediating herbicide tolerance in these genotypes that led to higher seed yield. The identified IM tolerance mechanism can be used to impart herbicide resistance in lentil.

Thymidylate synthase (TYMS) is a key regulatory enzyme in DNA synthesis. We identified the biological effect and molecular mechanisms of TYMS in colorectal cancer (CRC). We employed western blot and immunohistochemistry for the assessment of TYMS expression in CRC samples.

Introduction: The common duckweed () is a model organism for investigation of plant physiology, especially stress-related responses. Its two physiological characteristics are of special interest: (1) salt-stressed duckweeds may accumulate starch, a precursor for biofuel; (2) duckweeds are associated with various beneficial (plant-growth promoting, PGP) bacterial strains. In this paper, we analyzed the role of two bacterial strains: D1-104/3 and C31-106/3 in regulation of duckweed's growth and antioxidative responses to salt (10 and 100 mM NaCl) and hypothesized that they alleviate salt-induced oxidative stress.

The consequences of walnut ( L.) leaf scorch (WLS) were studied using the cultivated varieties, Wen185 ( 'Wen 185') and Xinxin2 ( 'Xinxin2') in the Aksu region, Xinjiang, China. Photosynthetic parameters and indoor chemical analysis were used to determine the variations in photosynthetic characteristics, osmotic regulatory substances, antioxidant enzyme activities, and changes in fruit yield and quality between diseased and healthy leaves.

Ferroptosis and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) are both promising therapeutic modalities, but their clinical application remains challenging due to the hypoxic tumor microenvironment and limited supply of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Developing an agent with oxygen-enhanced SDT and increased ferroptosis sensitivity is crucial for advancing tumor therapy. In this study, catalase (Cat) and Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) highly expressed 4T1 cells were constructed lentivirus transfection.
