Avocado is one of the world's fastest growing tropical fruit industries and the pathogen avocado sunblotch viroid (ASBVd) is a major threat to both production and access to international export markets. ASBVd is seed transmissible, with infection possible via either the male (pollen) or female gametes. Surveillance for ASBVd across commercial orchards is a major logistical task, particularly when aiming to meet the stringent standards of evidence required for a declaration of pest-freedom. Like many fruit crops, insect pollination is important for high avocado yields and honey bee (Apis mellifera) hives are typically moved into orchards for paid pollination services. Exploiting the foraging behaviour of honey bees can provide a complementary strategy for traditional surveillance methods. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) of bee samples for plant viruses shows promise but this surveillance method has not yet been tested for viroids or in a targeted plant biosecurity context. Here we tested samples of bees and pollen collected from pollination hives in two ASBVd orchard locations, one in Australia where only four trees in a block were known to be infected, and a second in South Africa where the estimated incidence of infection was 10%. Using real-time RT-PCR and HTS (total RNA-seq and small RNA-seq), we demonstrated that ASBVd can be confidently detected in bees and pollen samples from hives within 100 m of infected trees. The potential for using this approach in ASBVd surveillance for improved orchard management and supporting market access is discussed.Late blight and powdery mildew are two widespread tomato diseases caused by P. infestans and O. neolycopersici, respectively, which reduce the quantity and quality of tomato. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in tomato resistance to various pathogens. Investigating the function of miRNA is of great significance in controlling tomato diseases. To identify potential miRNAs involved in the interaction of tomato-P. infestans or O. neolycopersici, we analyzed expression profiles of small RNAs in tomato leaves infected with these two pathogens using RNA-seq technology. A total of 330 and 288 miRNAs exhibited differences in expression levels after exposure to P. infestans and O. neolycopersici, respectively. One hundred forty-six commonly differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs responsive to P. infestans and O. neolycopersici infestation were detected, including 10 commonly known conserved DE miRNAs and 136 novel miRNAs. Among these known DE miRNAs, sly-miR397 was strongly down-regulated in response to P. infestans or O. neolycopersici infection. Silencing of sly-miR397 resulted in enhanced tolerance to pathogens, whereas overexpression of sly-miR397 showed increased susceptibility. Furthermore, changes in sly-miR397 expression could also affect expression levels of PRs and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging genes, leading to altered necrotic cells and H2O2 levels. In addition, the number of lateral branches significantly changed in transgenic plants. Taken together, our study provides potential miRNA resources for further research of miRNA-disease associations and indicates that sly-miR397 acts as a negative regulator of disease resistance and influences lateral branch development in tomato.Fluoride deficiency and toxicity severely affect a large population globally. Hence, a low-cost geosorbent is in demand to overcome fluorosis hazards where in situ retardation is prioritized over pilot-scale waste water treatment. This study reports the fluoride removal potential of MgFe-type layered double hydroxide (HT-LDH) and its calcined form at 500 and 800°C for their usability for treatment of polluted streams, ponds, wells, and hot spring water. Rapid uptake with >33% removal in 24 h was found by the adsorptive method, whereas the co-precipitation process removed >16 mg/L (>83%) in 1 h. The efficiency was further enhanced upon calcination at 500°C with >95% removal up to five times regeneration, unlike that at 800°C. It was demonstrated that multilayer sorption onto heterogeneous surface sites is majorly controlled by surface adsorptive and ion exchange mechanisms. Acidic pH, low aqueous F - , and temperature >25°C favored greater uptake, whereas competitive anions slightly enhanced its potential in the order N O 3 - > S O 4 2 - > P O 4 3 - in adsorptive removal. In the co-precipitation process, competing anions slightly hindered F - retention, whereas high temperature and low aqueous F - led to greater F - retention. No F-bearing solid phases were evidenced upon its retention, except lowering the HT-LDH crystallinity and rearrangement of C O 3 2 - surface functional groups. The fluoride contents of natural water were lowered drastically up to 77% in 60 min upon precipitation of HT-LDH by maintaining alkalinity and a di-/trivalent cationic ratio of 2.0. PRACTITIONER POINTS F^- uptake is rapid on heterogeneous surface sites with multilayer sorption mechanism Greater F^- removed by coprecipitation technique compared with adsorptive pathway Acidic medium and temperature >25°C favor greater F^- retention NO_3^-+PO_l4^(3-) slightly enhanced F^- uptake by adsorption but lowered in coprecipitation Formation of LDH from natural waters lowered F^- content up to less then 77.This paper describes phytochemical studies on aerial part of the Cocculus pendulus, which led to the identification of a new ingredient namely, 2 N-methylkohatine (1) along with four reported compounds Kohatine (2), 1,2-Dehydrokohatine (3) and 5'Hhydroxyapateline (4). Structures of the all Compounds were elucidated by using 1 D and 2 D NMR and mass spectroscopy furthermore the structure of new Compound 1 was also proved by synthesize from compound 2 (Kohatine).Large current discharge is restricted because of the poor conductivity between the Ta-doped Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZTO) solid electrolyte and electrode. The poor conductivity would be caused by the interfacial reaction between LLZTO and the cathode, which is detrimental to the secondary Li ionic or metal battery. In this case, we studied the interfacial reaction between LLZTO and a haloid cathode (NiCl2) for a thermal battery for the first time, and a lower interfacial resistance could be obtained by a simple heat treatment. Owing to the element interdiffusion of Cl- and O2- at a high temperature of 600 °C, the main reaction products are LaOCl, LiCl, and La2Zr2O7. This reaction reduces the interfacial resistance from 3 Ω to 2 Ω. After a pretreatment at 600 °C, the discharge specific energy could reach 1254 Wh kg-1 from 828 Wh kg-1 at 550 °C with a cut-off voltage of 1.8 V. These results suggest that the interfacial reaction could be significant for the battery by adding interfacial contact. It is an effective approach to decrease the interfacial resistance at high temperature for some specific system, such as a haloid cathode-solid electrolyte.
Mutational loss of CDKN2A (encoding p16INK4A) tumor-suppressor function is a key genetic step that complements activation of KRAS in promoting the development and malignant growth of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, pharmacologic restoration of p16INK4A function with inhibitors of CDK4 and CDK6 (CDK4/6) has shown limited clinical efficacy in PDAC. Here, we found that concurrent treatment with both a CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) and an ERK-MAPK inhibitor (ERKi) synergistically suppresses the growth of PDAC cell lines and organoids by cooperatively blocking CDK4/6i-induced compensatory upregulation of ERK, PI3K, antiapoptotic signaling, and MYC expression. On the basis of these findings, a Phase I clinical trial was initiated to evaluate the ERKi ulixertinib in combination with the CDK4/6i palbociclib in patients with advanced PDAC (NCT03454035). Talabostat As inhibition of other proteins might also counter CDK4/6i-mediated signaling changes to increase cellular CDK4/6i sensitivity, a CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-ning and protein activity mapping reveal combinations that increase potency of CDK4/6 inhibitors and overcome drug-induced compensations in pancreatic cancer.Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) was generally insignificant in Europe from the 1960s until 2016, where a new race (TTRTF) caused damage on huge areas of durum wheat and bread wheat in Sicily (Bhattacharya, 2017). During the following five years, TTRTF was detected in eight additional countries in south- and central Europe (Patpour et al. 2022). In July 2021, seven wheat stem rust samples collected from spring wheat and one from barley in Svalov (55° 54' 10.8″ N, 13° 6' 54″ E) and Alnarp (55° 39' 39.6″ N, 13° 4' 40.8″ E), Sweden. Both cereal fields had a total disease incidence of 50% or higher. The samples were sent to the Global Rust Reference Center (GRRC, Denmark). Urediniospores of each sample were recovered on two susceptible cultivars, Line E and Morocco, which were used as susceptible controls in all experiments. Single pustular isolates were extracted and race typing was generally repeated two to three times based on Patpour et al. (2022) using 2ur, M., et al. 2022. Front.

From 2019 to 2021, postharvest green mold disease was observed with an incidence of 2~5% on the tuberous roots of the harvested P. heterophylla at eight locations in Zherong county, Fujian Province, China. The symptoms were as follows white mycelial growth on the tuberous roots surface initially, then green mold layers forming, and the tuberous roots decaying finally. To identify the causal agent, a total of 20 symptomatic tuberous roots were collected. Small pieces (5 mm×5 mm) were treated by surface disinfestion with 75% ethanol and 1% NaOCl, then rinsed 3 times with sterile distilled water. These treated pieces were transferred onto potato dextrose agar (PDA) and incubated at 25°C in the dark for 7 days. Twenty pure cultures were obtained by single-spore isolation method. Colonies on PDA medium initially appeared as white mycelium that developed grayish-green conidia with white margins. Mycelium wasg Koch's postulates. To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. ochrochloron causing green mold disease on P. heterophylla in China, which would be a potentially new threat to the medicinal plant.
Acquired tracheal stenosis (TS) is a potentially life-threatening condition following prolonged intubation and/or tracheostomy in adult patients with severe Acquired Brain Injury (sABI), requiring a tracheal resection and reconstruction.

We included 38 sABI adult patients with TS, admitted at a post-acute Neurorehabilitation Hospital. Disability Rating Scale (DRS) and other functional assessment measures were recorded at admission (t
), before TS surgical treatment (t
), and at discharge (t
). Patients were defined as 'improved' when they changed from a more severe to a less severe disability, between time t
and time t
, and as "not improved" when they did not show any further improvement between t
and t
, or they already exhibited a disability improvement since time interval t
-t
.

Time interval between the injury onset and TS surgical treatment (t
-t
) was associated with the patient's disability improvement, suggesting the t
-t
time interval ≤ 115days as a cutoff value for a possible functional recovery.
