AI Article Synopsis

  • Climate change is impacting the types of plants we can grow and the conditions for their cultivation.
  • A new series of articles examines the dual challenges of making plants more resilient to climate change.
  • It also looks at ways to improve plants' ability to capture carbon from the atmosphere.

Article Abstract

Climate change is affecting the types of plant varieties we can cultivate, as well as how and where we can do so. A new collection of articles explores the twin challenges of engineering plants for resilience to climate change and enhancing their carbon-capture potential.

Engineering an optimized hypercompact CRISPR/Cas12j-8 system for efficient genome editing in plants.

Plant Biotechnol J

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Herbage and Endemic Crop Biology, Ministry of Education, Inner Mongolia University, Hohhot, China.

The Cas12j-8 nuclease, derived from the type V CRISPR system, is approximately half the size of Cas9 and recognizes a 5'-TTN-3' protospacer adjacent motif sequence, thus potentially having broad application in genome editing for crop improvement. However, its editing efficiency remains low in plants. In this study, we rationally engineered both the crRNA and the Cas12j-8 nuclease.

Assessment of bacteriological and immunological markers in urinary tract infection and the effect of antibiotics on the isolated bacteria.

Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand)

January 2025

Laboratory of Plant Improvement and Valorization of Agro-resources, National School of Engineers of Sfax, University of Sfax, Sfax LR.16ES20, Tunisia.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are recognized as the second most common medical condition, following respiratory infections. Despite the availability of numerous efficacious antibiotics for the management of UTIs, the rising incidence of bacterial resistance presents significant challenges in the treatment of these infections. Bacteria are endowed with the ability to reproduce and develop resistance mechanisms against antibiotics.

Strawberry fruits are highly perishable and have a limited shelf life. Therefore, effective methods such as essential oils (EOs) and edible coatings are required to mitigate spoilage and maintain fruit quality during storage. In the current study, Echinophora platyloba EO was extracted and subsequently formulated into a nanoemulsion.
