Seed priming and abiotic stress tolerance in carrot: Unraveling the mechanisms of improved germination. by Marcin Nowicki, Marzena Nowakowska, Katarzyna Nowak, Wojciech Szczechura, Piotr Kaminski

“…Our results revealed significant variability in germination rates and seedling growth among the studied carrot experimental lines and commercial cultivars under salinity or drought stress Seed priming enhanced germination and seedling vigor by up to 35% under salinity stress and 28% under drought stress, with notable differences observed across the priming agents. The application of inhibitors highlighted the involvement of specific cellular processes in regulation of seed germination under stress. …”

Transfer of optogenetic vectors into the brain of neonatal animals to study neuron functions during subsequent periods of development by D. A. Lanshakov, U. S. Drozd, T. A. Zapara, N. N. Dygalo

“…The peak expression of the transferred gene is usually achieved at week 3–5 after the transfer of the vector, which is what was also observed in our experiments. Stimulation of the hippocampal neurons with blue light in the 20-day-old animals, to which opto-vector was transferred at the 3rd day of life, increased the discharge activity of these neurons. …”

Three-dimensional numerical study of a local scour downstream of a submerged sluice gate using two hydro-morphodynamic models, SedFoam and FLOW-3D by Ghzayel, Alaa, Beaudoin, Anthony

“…Based on the comparison of the three-dimensional numerical results with the experimental data, a discussion has allowed to explain the two particular phenomena in the dynamics of the scour process, a change of the dune form and a digging - refilling cycles of the scour, observed in the experimental data. It was concluded that the dune shape-shifting is due to the hydro-morphodynamic behaviour of the interaction of fluid-particles in presence of high degree of confinement while the digging - refilling phenomenon is explained by the physical mechanics behaviour of the particles phase due to gravity.…”

Enhanced Tolerance to Antifungals as a General Feature of Rho⁻ Mutants in Yeast Species: Implications to Positive Selection of Respiratory Deficiency by Zachary Johnson, Farhan Nadim, Mikhajlo K. Zubko

“…The mode of inhibition in the majority of WT strains by all antifungals was fungicidal; most of the rho⁻ mutants manifested fungistatic inhibition. We observed partial (not complete) inhibition in WT, with four different types of ZOI patterns that were species- and antifungal-specific. …”
