Chloroplast Vesiculation and Induced Chloroplast Vesiculation and Senescence‐Associated Gene 12 Expression During Tomato Flower Pedicel Abscission by Magda Tušek Žnidarič, Maja Zagorščak, Živa Ramšak, Katja Stare, Marko Chersicola, Maruša Pompe Novak, Aleš Kladnik, Marina Dermastia

“…This suggests a possible vesicle transport of chloroplast degrading material for recycling by autophagy‐independent senescence‐associated vacuoles (SAVs) and CV‐containing vesicles (CCVs). Ethylene signaling appears to be involved in the regulation of these processes, as treatment with a competitive inhibitor of ethylene action, 1‐methylcyclopropene, delayed vesiculation, reduced the expression of SAG12, and increased expression of Curvature Thylakoid 1A (CURT1A). …”

The shield of the screen: The role of anger on the development of social media addiction and internet gaming disorder by Fiammetta Iannuzzo, Clara Lombardo, Maria Catena Silvestri, Fabrizio Turiaco, Giovanni Genovese, Caterina Rombolà, Carmela Mento, Maria Rosaria Anna Muscatello, Antonio Bruno

“…A linear regression model showed how TANG and AX–I were direct predictors of the BSMAS total scores, and how AX–I was a direct predictor of the IGDS9–SF total scores. It appears plausible that there is a significant correlation between the dimensions of anger and the emergence of social media addiction and internet gaming: internet usage may serve as a coping mechanism for emotional or social challenges and as a protective screen to deal with negative emotions.…”
