, an ectomycorrhizal fungus, forms a symbiotic relationship with , a rare and endangered species crucial to desert riparian ecosystems. In this study, endofungal bacteria (EFBs) within the fruiting bodies of were confirmed by a polyphasic approach, including genomic sequencing, real-time quantitative PCR targeting the 16S rRNA gene, full-length and next-generation sequencing (NGS) of the 16S rRNA gene, and culture methods. The genera , , , and were abundant in the EFBs of fruiting bodies associated with three hosts and were consistently present across different developmental stages.

Herein, choline chloride/oxalic acid (ChCl/OA) and choline chloride/oxalic acid/ethylene glycol (ChCl/OA/EG) pretreatments of oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) and mesocarp fibers (MSF) were conducted to achieve protection of the lignin structure, while improving the enzymatic efficiency of the solid residues. Under the operating conditions of 90 °C and 6 h, ChCl/OA/EG demonstrated a higher lignin extraction selectivity and obtained solid residues with higher hemicellulose content compared to ChCl/OA. The digestibility of glucan and xylan in solid residues obtained using ChCl/OA/EG achieved 98.

This review covers the latest developments on the regulation of early seed development by phytohormones. The development of seeds in flowering plants starts with the fertilization of the maternal gametes by two paternal sperm cells. This leads to the formation of two products, embryo and endosperm, which are surrounded by a tissue of maternal sporophytic origin, called the seed coat.

In this review, we introduce the concept of "dual thermosensing mechanisms," highlighting the functional collaboration between G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and transient receptor potential (TRP) channels that enable sophisticated cellular thermal responsiveness. GPCRs have been implicated in thermosensory processes, with recent findings identifying several candidates across species, including mammals, fruit flies, and nematodes. In many cases, these GPCRs work in conjunction with another class of thermosensors, TRP channels, offering insights into the complex mechanisms underlying thermosensory signaling.

Objectives: Birthweight prediction in fetal development presents a challenge in direct measurement and often depends on empirical formulas based on the clinician's experience. Existing methods suffer from low accuracy and high execution times, limiting their clinical effectiveness. This study aims to introduce a novel approach integrating feature-wise linear modulation (FiLM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), and Attention network to improve birthweight prediction using ultrasound data.
