Purpose: This manuscript aimed for the generation of γ-irradiation derived mutants of potato genotype PAU/RR-1501 possessing desirable processing traits.
Materials And Methods: Nodal cuttings from virus-free explants were established on basal MS medium and irradiated with different doses (0, 5, 10 and 20 Gy) of γ-irradiation. The 5 and 10 Gy treated plantlets were multiplied and used for micro-tuber induction. Harvested micro-tubers were planted in pots for the selection and evaluation of mutants in M1V2 generation.
Results: Four weeks post-treatment, plantlets (5 Gy) showed enhanced growth as compared to the control while 20 Gy treatment exhibited completely ceased shoot growth. The highest number and weight of mini-tubers per plant was recorded for 10 Gy followed by 5 Gy treatment as compared to control. The γ-irradiation treatments caused changes in the skin color and shape of M1V2 tubers.
Conclusion: Under the 5 Gy treatment 49.9% of clones produced exhibited cream and 8.53% brown skin color. Nine putative mutants were identified in genotype PAU/RR-1501 exhibiting promising processing traits.

Background: Seed banks are a vital resource for preserving plant species diversity globally. However, seedling establishment and survival rates from banked seeds can be poor. Despite a growing appreciation for the role of seed-associated microbiota in supporting seed quality and plant health, our understanding of the effects of conventional seed banking processes on seed microbiomes remains limited.

Anhedonia is believed to be transdiagnostic symptom exist in various disorders including schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, and autism spectrum disorder. However, very few studies attempted to profile subclinical samples with schizophrenia, depressive, and autistic symptoms using measures of anhedonia scales. This study adopted a cluster analytical approach to examine the anhedonia profile in 46 individuals with schizotypal trait (ST), 43 subthreshold depression (SD), 27 autistic trait (AT), and 41 healthy controls.

Neophobia and exploratory behavior are personality traits through which organisms evaluate and respond to environment changes by adjusting their behavior. The Kelp Gull (Larus dominicanus) is a generalist seabird that consumes a wide variety of prey. Neophobia levels and exploratory behavior in novel circumstances were analyzed in urban adult (n=13) and immature (n=15) Kelp Gulls captured in the landfill of Mar del Plata city.

Obesity, often driven by high-fat diets (HFD), is a major global health issue, necessitating effective preventive measures. Tetragonia tetragonoides, a plant with known medicinal properties, has not been extensively studied for its effects on HFD-induced obesity and related genetic changes in mice. This study explores the impact of Tetragonia tetragonoides extract (TTE; 300 mg/kg) on obesity-related traits in C57BL/6J male mice, with a focus on transcriptomic changes in the liver and white adipose tissue (WAT).

Background: Mounting evidence suggests that Parkinson's disease (PD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are closely associated and becoming global health burdens. However, the causal relationships and common pathogeneses between them are uncertain. Furthermore, they are uncurable.
