We analyzed the expression of genes coding for Na+ transporters (OsHKT1.5, OsHKT1.1, OsSOS1, OsSOS2, OsNHX1, OsNHX2), Cl- transporter (OsNRT1, OsCLC, OsCCC1) and gene coding for the transcription factor DREB (OsDREB2) involved in response to desiccation in two cultivars of O. glaberrrima differing in salt-resistance (salt-tolerant cultivar (TOG5307) and salt-sensitive (TOG 5949)) exposed to NaCl, PEG or both agents present simultaneously. Seedlings were grown in iso-osmotic nutrient solution (Ψs = -0.47±0.02 MPa) containing PEG 6,000 12.9% (water stress), NaCl 75 mM (salt stress) and PEG 6.4% + NaCl 37.5 mM (MIX-treatment) during 1 and 7 days. Plants were analyzed for gene expression, mineral nutrients, and photosynthetic-related parameters. Na+ and Cl- accumulations in salt-treated plants were lower in roots and shoots of TOG5307 comparatively to TOG5949 while water content decreased in TOG5307. TOG5307 exhibited tolerance to water stress and maintained higher net photosynthesis and water use efficiency than TOG5949 in response to all treatments, but was less efficient for osmotic adjustment. Dehydration tolerance of TOG5307 involves a higher OsDREB2 expression. TOG5307 also exhibited a higher OsSOS1, OsSOS2, OsNHX1 and OsNHX2 expression than TOG5949 in response to salinity. OsHKT1.5 was slightly induced in the shoot. OsHKT1.1 was recorded in the shoots but remained undetectable in the roots. Chloride and sodium accumulations were strongly reduced in the shoots when PEG was present. Salinity resistance in Oryza glaberrima implies tolerance to dehydration as well as complementary strategies of Na+ exclusion through the SOS system and Na+ tolerance through vacuolar sequestration.

Heritable fragile bone disorders (FBDs), ranging from multifactorial to rare monogenic conditions, are characterized by an elevated fracture risk. Validating causative genes and understanding their mechanisms remain challenging. We assessed a semi-high throughput zebrafish screening platform for rapid in vivo functional testing of candidate FBD genes.

The occurrence of external L-glutamate at the Arabidopsis root tip triggers major changes in root architecture, but the mechanism of -L-Glu sensing is unknown. Members of the family of GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR-LIKE (GLR) proteins are known to act as amino acid-gated Ca-permeable channels and to have signalling roles in diverse plant processes. To investigate the possible role of GLRs in the root architectural response to L-Glu, we screened a collection of mutants with T-DNA insertions in each of the 20 AtGLR genes.

Background: Adrenomedullin 2 (AM2) plays critical roles in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance. However, the specific involvement of AM2 in cardiac hypertrophy has not been comprehensively elucidated, warranting further investigation into its molecular mechanisms and therapeutic implications.
Methods: Cardiac hypertrophy was induced in adult mice lacking AM2 (AM2-/-) using transverse aortic constriction surgery.

Background: The application of resistant rice varieties and insecticides represents two crucial strategies for managing the brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål). Insects often employ similar detoxification mechanisms to metabolize plant secondary metabolites and insecticides, which poses a potential risk that BPH population adapted to resistant rice may also obtain resistance to some insecticides.
Results: Here in a BPH population (R-IR56) that has adapted to the resistant rice variety IR56 through continuous selection, the moderate resistance to etofenprox was observed.

Background: Mizagliflozin (MIZ) is a specific inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransport protein 1 (SGLT1) originally developed as a medication for diabetes.
Aim: To explore the impact of MIZ on diabetic nephropathy (DN).
Methods: Diabetic mice were created using db/db mice.
