Heterozygous pathogenic STT3A variation leads to dominant congenital glycosylation disorders and functional validation in zebrafish by Linxue Meng, Zhixu Fang, Li Jiang, Yinglan Zheng, Siqi Hong, Yu Deng, Lingling Xie

“…Heterozygous knockdown zebrafish exhibit phenotypes similar to those of patients, including craniofacial dysmorphology (increased eye distance, increased Basihyal’s length, increased Ceratohyal’s angle), skeletal abnormalities (reduced number of mineralized bones), developmental delay (reduced adaptability under light‒dark stimuli suggesting abnormal locomotion, orientation, and social behavior), and electrophysiological abnormalities. Conclusion We report a proband with a dominant congenital glycosylation disorder caused by heterozygous pathogenic STT3A variation, which is a new inheritance pattern of STT3A. …”

Balancing Yield and Sustainability: A Comparative Analysis of Supplemental Lighting in Commercial-Scale Cucumber Cultivation by Seyed Mohammad Hashemi, Andrzej Kurenda, Selin Karatepe, Nick A. Savidov

“…The results indicated that iLEDs enhance intrinsic water use efficiency (35.65 µmol CO₂/mol H₂O) and reduce transpiration, reflecting superior physiological resource use. Electrophysiological measurements indicated significantly more stable stress responses in plants subjected to iLEDs and hLEDs as compared to HPS and control treatments, indicating the effectiveness of LED light spectra in mitigating stress-related physiological impacts. …”
