A Review of the Prospective Effects of Spacing and Varieties on Onion Yield and Yield Components ( < em > Allium cepa < /em > L.) in Ethiopia
ScientificWorldJournal. 2024 Mar 22;2024:2795747. doi: 10.1155/2024/2795747. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTOnion (Allium cepa L.) is the most important commercial vegetable crop widely grown throughout the world. It is also an important bulb crop in Ethiopia. However, its production and productivity are restricted by different factors, including biotic and abiotic stresses. This review investigates the potential impacts of spacing and varieties on onion yield and yield components in Ethiopia. Countries around the world are producing onion for its nutritional value, medicinal properties, minerals, proteins, and carbohydrates. In...

Anatomical And Functional Interrogation of 5HT3R+ Sensory Neurons in Knee Arthritis
The aim of the current study was to map the distribution, phenotype and function of 5HT3AR positive sensory neurons in the normal and inflamed mouse knee joint. We collected lumbar dorsal root ganglia (DRG) from 5HT3R-Flpo:Ai65F reporter mice to characterize the neurochemical and molecular phenotype of labeled neurons using immunohistochemistry and multiplex fluorescent in situ hybridization. We confirmed a high degree of co-expression between Tomato mRNA with Htr3a mRNA (94.5 +/- 3.6%) and observed between 10-12% Tomato-immunoreactive (IR) neurons in lumbar DRG.

Robust construction of konjac glucomannan/polylactic acid nanofibrous films incorporated with carvacrol via microfluidic blow spinning for food packaging
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Mar 29:131250. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131250. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn recent years, the application of biopolymer-based nanofibers prepared via microfluidic blow spinning (MBS) for food packaging has continuously increased due to their advantages of biocompatibility, biodegradability, and safety. However, the poor spinnability, undesirable water barrier capacity, and loss of antibacterial and antioxidant properties of biopolymer-based nanofibers strictly restrict their real-world applications. In this work, carvacrol (CV) incorporated konjac glucomannan (KGM)/polylactic acid (PLA) n...

A transcriptional cascade mediated by two APETALA2 family members orchestrates carotenoid biosynthesis in tomato
In this study, we determined that SlAP2c, an APETALA2 (AP2) family member, acts as a transcriptional repressor to regulate carotenoid biosynthesis in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Knockout of SlAP2c in both the "MicroTom" and "Ailsa Craig" backgrounds resulted in greater lycopene accumulation, whereas overexpression of this gene led to orange-ripe fruit with significantly lower lycopene contents than the wild type. We established that SlAP2c represses the expression of genes involved in lycopene biosynthesis by directly binding to the cis-elements in their promoters. Moreover, SlAP2c relies on its EAR motif to recruit the...

Triazole resistance in < em > Aspergillus fumigatu < /em > s isolated from a tomato production environment exposed to propiconazole
Appl Environ Microbiol. 2024 Mar 27:e0001724. doi: 10.1128/aem.00017-24. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe emergence of azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus (ARAf) across the world is an important public health concern. We sought to determine if propiconazole, a demethylase inhibitor (DMI) fungicide, exerted a selective pressure for ARAf in a tomato production environment following multiple exposures to the fungicide. A tomato field trial was established in 2019 and propiconazole was applied weekly until harvest. Soil, leaf, and fruit (when present) samples were collected at baseline and after each propiconazole applicati...
