Nanosilicon application changes the morphological attributes and essential oil compositions of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) under water deficit stress by Ayyub Rezghiyan, Hassan Esmaeili, Mohsen Farzaneh

“…Nanosilicon plays a crucial role in alleviating the deleterious impacts of both abiotic and biotic stresses in plants by modulating various phyto-morphological and physiological processes. This study aimed to examine the combined effects of drought stress and nanosilicon application on the morphological traits and essential oil content and compositions of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.), in which four-week-old seedlings were subjected to irrigation treatments at four levels, including 100% (control), 80% (mild stress), 60% (moderate stress) and 40% (severe stress) field capacity and nanosilicon at three concentrations (0, 0.5 and 1.5 mM) in a completely randomized factorial design experiment with three replications for 40 days. …”

Cuproptosis-related lncRNAs and genes: Potential markers for glioblastoma prognosis and treatment. by Yajia Chen, Jingxian Zhang, Weiqian Zheng, Hongwu Xu

“…In recent studies, regulatory cell death (RCD) has been identified as an effective mechanism to suppress glioma. Cuproptosis, caused by intracellular copper, is a novel RCD process that affects chemotherapy efficacy and glioma progression; however, the precise function of cuproptosis-related lncRNAs (CRLs) and cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) in GBM remains uncertain. …”

Improved estimates for extinction probabilities and times to extinction for populations of tsetse (Glossina spp) by Damian, Kajunguri, Elisha B., Are, John W., Hargrove

“…Because females only produce a single offspring approximately every 10 days, imposing a death rate of greater than about 3.5% per day will ensure the eradication of any tsetse population. These mortality levels can be achieved for some species using insecticide-treated targets or cattle— providing thereby a simple, effective and cost-effective method of controlling and eradicating tsetse, and also human and animal trypanosomiasis. …”
