An experimental method has been devised for the study of the inter-action of bimolecular (black) lipid membrane and protein in which 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid is used as a fluorescent probe. The presence of phospho-lipid in the membrane is necessary for the enhanced fluorescence.

Article Synopsis
- Cytosolic calcium (Ca) serves as a universal second messenger in plants, playing crucial roles in growth, stress responses, and development, with calmodulin and calmodulin-like proteins (CMLs) facilitating these Ca signals.
- Research revealed that the expression of GbCML45 increases after infection with Verticillium dahliae, suggesting its importance in enhancing cotton's resistance to the disease.
- Knockdown of GbCML45 reduces resistance, while its overexpression in Arabidopsis strengthens resistance, indicating that GbCML45 and its homologue GbCML50 positively regulate defense mechanisms through various signaling pathways, offering potential targets for developing more resilient cotton varieties through genetic engineering.

Organic nitrates (ONs) can impact spatial distribution of reactive nitrogen species and ozone formation in the atmosphere. While photolysis of ONs is known to result in the release of NO back to the atmosphere, the photolysis rate constants and mechanisms of monoterpene-derived ONs (MT-ONs) have not been well constrained. We investigated the gas-phase photolysis of three synthetic ONs derived from α-pinene, β-pinene, and d-limonene through chamber experiments.
