An Innovative Approach: Alleviating Cadmium Toxicity in Grapevine Seedlings Using Smoke Solution Derived from the Burning of Vineyard Pruning Waste.

Although plant-derived smoke solutions (SSs) have exhibited growth-promoting properties in various plant species, their potential role in mitigating heavy metal stress, specifically in grapevines, has remained unexplored and unreported. This knowledge gap prompted the present study to evaluate the efficacy of foliar application of SSs derived from vineyard pruning waste at concentrations of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 2% in mitigating Cadmium (Cd) phytotoxicity in grape saplings.

Menopausal status-dependent alterations in the transcript levels of genes encoding ERα, ERβ, PR and HER2 in breast tumors with different receptor status.

Background: Breast cancer has distinct causes and prognoses in patients with premenopausal and postmenopausal status. The expression status of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) are analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) to classify molecular subtypes of breast cancer among which large differences in prognosis exist.

Methods: The mRNA expression of ESR1 (encoding ERα), ESR2 (encoding ERβ), PGR (encoding PR), and ERBB2 (encoding HER2) was analyzed based on menopausal status (pre- vs post-menopausal) in tumors from breast cancer patients with different receptor status, in R programming environment, using transcriptomics data from TCGA-BRCA project.

Assessing the environmental impact of fertilizer consumption in Turkey.

The technique of fertilizer consumption increases yields from agriculture, but because it involves chemicals, there are disagreements regarding how it affects the environment. Based on this, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of fertilizer consumption on load capacity factor in Turkey through novel technique (multivariate quantile-on-quantile regression) for the period 1970-2021. In this regard, factors that have significant effects on the environment, such as trade globalization, renewable energy usage, natural resources, are also included in the empirical model to avoid omitted variable bias.
