... Iron (Fe) is a micronutrient for plant development, as constituent of several photosynthesis- and respiration-related proteins and enzymes. Consequently, Fe deficiency leads to chlorosis in leaves and plant growth impairment. It has become increasingly evident that light signals coordinate iron homeostasis in plants. To further address new insights into how light is a fundamental part of Fe defici ...
... Dopamine is a naturally occurring amine in plants and animals, having a strong antioxidative capacity. Different abiotic stressors, such as drought, salinity, and nutrient deficiency induce endogenous dopamine biosynthesis, while exogenous dopamine application confers tolerance to abiotic stress. Plants benefit from exogenous dopamine to promote photosynthetic pigment concentrations, stomatal cond ...

Abstract:
... Colony formation is a key trait facilitating the formation of Microcystis blooms. However, the role of morphological changes (e.g., colony size and tightness) in the adaptation to nutrient availability is not fully understood. In this study, we analyzed the morphological changes under both nutrient sufficiency and deficiency. Accordant morphological changes were found with both an isolated colonia ...

Abstract:
... Exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) could inhibit cadmium (Cd) accumulation in plants; however, its performance in an uneven iron (Fe) background remains unknown. Here, we found that the inhibitory effects of ABA on Cd accumulation in plants were optimal under nonlimiting Fe availability (25 and 50 µM), causing a reduction of 25–50 %, whereas only a 0–29 % decrease was observed in a Fe-free or -deficien ...

Abstract:
... Fucoidan, a natural polysaccharide with a variety of classical bioactivities mainly sourced from brown algae, has been extensively studied owing to its favorable pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anticoagulant and liver protection. Recently it has been found to play a regulatory role in the processes of autophagy. Autophagy is an important cellular process that effe ...

Abstract:
... The micronutrient cycling in tropical latitudes is an issue of great concern because tropical soils are not only suffering micronutrient deficiency, but also influencing the global cycling of trace metals. With the development of stable isotope techniques, Zn isotopic composition (δ⁶⁶Zn) has been an powerful tool to interpret the Zn behaviour, signature, and cycling in soils. This review compiles ...

Abstract:
... Magic spot synthetases are emerging targets to overcome persistence caused by stringent response. The ‘stringent response’ is a bacterial stress survival mechanism, which results in the accumulation of alarmones (also called Magic spots) leading to the formation of dormant persister cells. These ‘sleeper cells’ evade antibiotic treatment and could result in relapse of infection. This review broadl ...

Abstract:
... Glutathione (GSH) is known to regulate iron (Fe) deficiency response in plants but its involvement in modulating subcellular Fe homoeostasis remains elusive. In this study, we report that the GSH‐deficient mutants, cad2‐1 and pad2‐1 displayed increased sensitivity to Fe deficiency with significant downregulation of the vacuolar Fe exporters, AtNRAMP3 and AtNRAMP4, and the chloroplast Fe importer, ...

Abstract:
... Iron deficiency is an important soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] nutrient deficiency that is easily identified by interveinal chlorosis of the leaves and reduced plant growth, both of which lead to yield reductions. Research in soybean iron deficiency is often segmented into studies on soil characteristics, microbe interactions, specific phenotypes, or genetics of iron efficiency. Joining these ar ...

Abstract:
... Micronutrient malnutrition is responsible for severe social and health concerns and therefore, intensifies acute anxiety throughout the world. Nutrition is the strategic element in several stratagems designed to ease the burden of diseases on a global level. The green revolution satisfied the necessity for greater yield but at the expense of quality. Today, poor people are primarily suffering from ...

Abstract:
... Plants leave testimonies of undergoing physical state by depicting distinct variations in their electrophysiological data. Adequate nutrition of plants signifies their role in the growth and a plentiful harvest. Plant signal data carries enough information to detect and analyse nutrient deficiency. Classification of nutrient deficiencies through signal decomposition and bilevel measurements has no ...

Abstract:
... Locally made complementary foods in sub-Saharan Africa are often of poor nutritional quality due to the use of predominantly starchy staples. The type of complementary food fed to infants is determined mainly by availability and affordability especially in rural African communities. The poor nutritional quality of these complementary foods relative to nutritional requirement is responsible for wid ...

Abstract:
... Iron deficiency (ID) is a global nutritional deficiency that was shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) in our previous studies. Some studies suggested that mitochondrial dynamics was involved in the apoptosis and phenotypic transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, little is known about the role of mitochondrial dynamics in aortic m ...

Abstract:
... Iron (Fe) is an essential nutrient for living organisms and Fe deficiency is a worldwide problem for the health of both rice and humans. Zinc (Zn) contamination in agricultural soils is frequently observed. Here, we studied Fe isotope compositions and transcript levels of Fe transporter genes in rice growing in nutrient solutions having a range of Zn concentrations. Our results show Zn stress redu ...

Abstract:
... Micronutrient deficiency has become a barrier to soil productivity and sustainability along with fluctuations in soil micronutrient insufficiency that is linked to crops with the low usage efficiency or limited ability to absorb micronutrients in various agricultural ecosystems worldwide. Therefore, a field investigation was conducted during two consecutive years 2016–17 and 2017–18 at two differe ...

... Cocoa production in the state of Tamil Nadu is severely constrained by the deficiencies of micronutrients viz., iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and boron (B) resulting in yield loss to the tune of 40 − 50%. A preliminary survey was conducted in forty cocoa growing locations across seven districts of the state to develop diagnostic norms and indices for the yield limiting micronut ...

Abstract:
... While research publications on bariatric surgery (BS) have grown significantly over the past decade, there is no mapping of the existing body of evidence on this field of research. We performed a systematic review followed by a mapping of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in BS for people with obesity. From January 2020 to December 2020, we performed a systematic review of RCTs evaluating BS, ve ...

... Currently, we are increasingly aware of the environmental unsustainability of the conventional wastewater treatment processes, e.g. extensive energy consumption and greenhouse gases emission. As such, the light-motivated non-aerated microalgal-bacterial granular sludge (MBGS) process has drawn extensive attention recently. This review aims to offer the important recent advances and future directio ...

Abstract:
... Nutrition intervention decisions should be evidence based. Single 24-h recalls are often used for measuring dietary intake in large dietary studies. However, this method does not consider the day-to-day variation in populations’ diets. We illustrate the importance of adjustment of single 24-h recall data to remove within-person variation using the National Cancer Institute method to calculate usua ...
