The protein kinase A/protein kinase G/protein kinase C-family (AGC kinase family) of eukaryotes is involved in regulating numerous biological processes. The 3-phosphoinositide- dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1), is a conserved serine/threonine kinase in eukaryotes. To understand the roles of homologous genes in cell death and immunity in tetraploid , the previuosly generated transgenic CRISPR/Cas9 lines, in which 5-7 alleles of the 4 homologous genes (/// homologs) simultaneously knocked out, were used in this study. Our results showed that the hypersensitive response (HR) triggered by transient overexpression of active Pto (Pto) or soybean MEKK1 was significantly delayed, whereas the resistance to pv. DC3000 ( DC3000) and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) was significantly elevated in these partial knockout lines. The elevated resistance to DC3000 and TMV was correlated with the elevated activation of MPK6, MPK3, and MPK4. Taken together, our results indicated that 1s play a positive role in cell death but a positive role in disease resistance, likely through negative regulation of the MAPK signaling cascade.

Introduction: Despite the crucial importance of effective AFS in resource-limited settings, such settings remain comparatively underserved and underrepresented in terms of resource-setting-specific guidance and research. Further practical contextualization and application of current AFS best practices is thus necessary.
Areas Covered: A panel of leading experts from diverse countries (India, Nigeria, Spain, and the US) was brought together to provide recommendations for practical and effective implementation of AFS in resource-limited settings.

Background: Benzimidazole resistance is an emerging challenge among parasitic helminths. It is caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in specific loci in helminths' β-tubulin genes. Field studies and laboratory investigations reported resistance-associated SNPs in 4 codon locations with 7 allelic variations among hookworms.

Background: Many factors are associated with the development and progression of liver fat and fibrosis; however, genetics and the gut microbiota are representative factors. Moreover, recent studies have indicated a link between host genes and the gut microbiota. This study investigated the effect of patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 (PNPLA3) rs738409 (C > G), which has been reported to be most involved in the onset and progression of fatty liver, on liver fat and fibrosis in a cohort study related to gut microbiota in a non-fatty liver population.

This study aims to isolate and identify both diseased and healthy fish pathogens of Ctenopharyngodon idella, Labeo rohita and Oreochromis niloticus and assess their antibacterial and biofilm supressing activities against fish pathogens. It explores their potential to inhibit and degrade biofilms, serving as an alternative to antibiotics in aquaculture while enhancing fish health and disease resistance. Furthermore, the research endeavors to assess the biofilm degradation potential of antibiotics and probiotics, both individually and in combination.

The incidence and prevalence of urolithiasis are increasing in industrialized countries. In particular, an increase has been observed among young adults and women. The gender gap is closing, and gender equality (1:1) with regard to urolithiasis has already been documented for the USA.
