Soil Salinity, a Serious Environmental Issue and Plant Responses: A Metabolomics Perspective

Metabolites, 2021
The effects of global warming have increasingly led to devastating environmental stresses, such as heat, salinity, and drought. Soil salinization is a serious environmental issue and results in detrimental abiotic stress, affecting 7% of land area and 33%

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Spatial distribution and risk assessment of microplastics in surface sediments in semi-enclosed waters: a case study of Laizhou Bay

Frontiers in Marine Science
Marine ecosystems are the most important sinks for microplastics (MPs) from inland sources, and the input of large quantities of MPs into the oceans poses a serious threat to marine organisms and ecosystems.

Normal Saline [PDF]

AMA Journal of Ethics, 2019
In 2017, Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico and prompted a shortage of normal saline in US health care organizations. This graphic narrative considers ethics and justice in the supply, demand, and allocation of intravenous fluids in clinical settings during this time.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Harnessing Soil Microbes to Modulate Plant-Soil Feedbacks in Saline Agricultural Systems

Soil Systems
Soil salinity is a major constraint to agricultural productivity, causing osmotic stress, ion toxicity, nutrient imbalance, and progressive deterioration of soil biological functions.

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Are Autochthonous Bacteria of Desert Root Environments Capable of Increasing Crop Tolerance to Saline Stress?

Plants
Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) could be an alternative for alleviating salinity problems in different plants grown under salinity conditions. The study aimed to evaluate the ability of a bacterial consortium, isolated from the rhizosphere of the ...

Sustentabilidad del riego complementario en suelos Udipsament Típico y Hapludol Entico de Argentina Complementary irrigation sustainability in Typic Udipsament and Entic Hapludol soils of Argentina

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2006
El riego complementario con aguas sódicas conduce a procesos dispersivos que deterioran el espacio poroso y con ello otras propiedades relacionadas. Esto podría producirse con bajos a medios niveles de RAS del agua, en suelos gruesos, cuando la illita ...
