Subcellular localization of the P2X4 receptor in sensory hair cells of Wistar rat cochlea - Ziyin Huang; Jacqueline M. Ross; Shelly C. Y. Lin; Prakansha N. Kumar; Kevin Roy; Srdjan M. Vlajkovic; Peter R. Thorne; Haruna Suzuki-Kerr (Histochemistry and Cell Biology, 2025)
Our sense of hearing starts in the inner ear organ, the cochlea, which contains two types of auditory hair cells for signal transduction. Earlier research showed that the complex cochlear physiology is regulated in part by purinergic signalling through activation of purine-mediated P2X, P2Y and adenosine receptors expressed in the cochlea. This study aims to extend our knowledge of purinergic signalling in the cochlea by comprehensively characterising the expression of the P2X4 receptor subtype. Wistar rat cochlea (embryonic day 20.5–6 weeks, both sexes) were collected, and the P2X4 expression was examined by immunohistochemistry. Robust P2X4 expression was found in the organ of Corti (OoC) in the inner hair cells (IHCs) and outer hair cells (OHCs), confirmed by double-labelling with hair cells (HCs) marker myosin VIIa. In IHCs, a robust cytoplasmic P2X4 expression occurred throughout the cell body, with the most intense signal at the medial side. In OHCs, P2X4 formed puncta near the apical and basal ends of the cell body. Using markers for subcellular organelles, P2X4 immunoreactivity was predominately associated with the trans-Golgi network apparatus and early endosomes in IHC and with early endosomes and lysosomes in OHC in the mature cochlea. In both cell types, some co-localisation of P2X4 with presynaptic marker was also observed. Taken together, these observations suggest unique roles for P2X4 in mature IHCs and OHCs as a purinergic receptor subtype responsible for the homeostatic regulation of hair cells and auditory sensory transduction.

Orchidaceae, one of the largest plant families, have been predicted in several analyses to be under a higher level of threat than angiosperms as a whole. Despite this, compared to many other major groups of animals and plants, orchids are under-represented on the Red List of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Since 2000, concerted efforts have led to the number of orchids on the Global Red List increasing from eight to > 2,000 species, but many of these assessments are now outdated, and c. 28,000 species remain to be assessed for the first time. Here we review the current knowledge of the conservation status of orchids based on Red Listing and other methods, including machine learning and EDGE (Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered). At the geographical level, Sub-Saharan Africa is relatively well sampled for the Global Red List, whereas South and Central America and tropical Asia are poorly sampled. With the existing Red List assessments, levels of threat vary widely between tribes and subtribes. Tribes and subtribes with no or low sampling are identified. We discuss the main threats, and we identify climate change and fire as emerging threats, the former due to the potential for disruption of critical associations with pollinators and mycorrhizal fungi.

IoT‐Based Smart Fertigation Scheduling and Wireless Microclimate Monitoring for a Greenhouse Dutch Bucket Hydroponic System - Murtaza Hasan; Adarsha Gopalakrishna Bhat; Vinod Kumar S; Mahesh R; Anjani Kumar Yadav; Athira Saji; Bharath G; Shinde Ankita Prakash (Irrigation and Drainage, 2025)
Precision irrigation and fertigation using IoT‐based decision‐making tools have proven effective in optimizing real‐time nutrient solutions for agricultural production. IoT is essential for real‐time sensor monitoring and for wirelessly activating fertigation and irrigation systems. Soilless or hydroponic culture presents a viable alternative to traditional soil‐based cultivation. This study evaluated an IoT‐based fertigation system for soilless Dutch bucket hydroponic cucumber production in field experiments conducted from August to October 2023 and 2024. Two treatments were compared: conventional soil‐based cultivation (Drip irrigation at 100% ETc) and IoT‐enabled Dutch bucket hydroponics. The system monitored crop microclimate and automated fertigation, applying nutrients when EC was ≤ 2.5 dS/m and turning off at ≥ 4 dS/m. Crop performance parameters were assessed, including plant height, leaf area, root volume, yield and water productivity. Results showed that the IoT‐enabled hydroponic system produced significantly higher yields than traditional soil‐based cultivation. Yield and water productivity increased by 7% and 53%, respectively, with 12% less irrigation water. While testing under protected cultivation, the system's waterproof design indicates its suitability for outdoor conditions. The IoT system effectively records and displays environmental and fertigation data via the cloud, enabling fully automated fertigation and minimizing human intervention.

Optimizing Water Productivity in Cassava Production: Comparative Water Footprint of Drip and Furrow Irrigation in Humid Tropics of India - S. Sunitha; A. U. Akash; J. Suresh Kumar; R. Saravanan (Irrigation and Drainage, 2025)
Efficient irrigation strategies are essential for optimizing water use in cassava production. This study evaluated the water footprint of cassava under five irrigation regimes—drip irrigation at 100%, 80% and 60% of crop evapotranspiration (ETc), furrow irrigation, and rainfed conditions—using field data from 2008 to 2012 validated with 2021–2023 data from humid tropical India. The crop ETc showed a decreasing trend, peaking at 378.8 mm in 2008–2009 and reaching its lowest value (307.6 mm) in 2021–2022. Drip irrigation at 100% ETc significantly reduced water use and blue water dependency compared to furrow irrigation, which exhibited high inefficiencies due to surface evaporation and runoff. The blue water usage under furrow irrigation (7200 m 3 in 2021–2023) was reduced to 2065 m 3 with drip irrigation. This efficiency resulted in higher cassava yields, with drip irrigation at 100% ETc achieving the highest yields (45.5 ± 7.3 t ha −1 in 2008–2012 and 46.7 ± 3.5 t ha −1 in 2021–2023), surpassing furrow (~26%–27% lower) and rainfed (~59% lower) conditions. Drip irrigation also led to the lowest total water footprint (80.9 ± 7.0 m 3 t −1 ), representing a 65% reduction compared with furrow irrigation and a 28% reduction compared with rainfed conditions (112.2 m 3 t −1 ). These findings provide crucial insights for sustainable cassava intensification.

The work at hand follows the pragmatic design and development of a tripartite controlled release tablet, motivated by the ongoing opioid epidemic and poor adherence to adjunct gastroprotective agents (GPAs) in chronic NSAID users. Taking heed of critical process parameters (CPPs) and critical material attributes (CMAs), a formulation capable of meeting the pre-defined Quality Target Product Profiles (QTPPs) and critical quality attributes (CQAs) was achieved. Delivering 50% of the Paracetamol (PAR) dose within the first 30 min, from an Immediate Release (IR) layer of 250 mg (PAR) for an early onset of analgesia; 100 mg of Diclofenac Sodium (DS) and 250 mg of PAR from the cup, formulated for a delayed and retarded release, and lastly 20 mg Esomeprazole Magnesium Trihydrate (ESM) from a press coated core pill, the latter often prescribed separately. The release mechanism of PAR and DS from the cup after the 2-h mark distinctly followed the Hixson-Crowell model where the geometrical characteristic of the cup was maintained with surface erosion. SEM analysis results prior to and during dissolution confirmed bulk and surface erosion release mechanisms. The obtained ex vivo analysis results showed retarded permeation rates of the tableted APIs compared to the APIs in their pure state. Graphical Abstract

The Southern Ocean (SO) is a critical driver of global wave dynamics, generating long-period swells that propagate vast distances and significantly impact far distant coastal regions, including the Indian coastal regions. Climate change has intensified westerly winds and altered storm tracks in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in higher wave heights and longer periods, which in turn increase the risk to coastal regions.​ However, the remote and harsh environment in the SO has historically limited in-situ wave observations, hindering a comprehensive understanding of the wave characteristics in the region. To bridge this gap, the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) launched the Indian Ocean Wave Drifter (IOWD) program in 2021 under the Deep Ocean Mission to address the in-situ data gap in the Southern Indian Ocean. Through the deployment of GPS-enabled directional wave spectra drifters, the program has enabled near-real-time observations of wave characteristics across the SO. This article highlights the early outcomes of the IOWD program, including wave model validation, Stokes drift estimation, and swell tracking. The study emphasizes the importance of sustained in-situ observations from remote oceans for improving wave forecasting, enhancing coastal preparedness, and advancing scientific understanding of wave–current interactions and climate variability in the Indian Ocean region.

Comparative Effects of Different Saline Irrigation Levels and Foliar Potassium Applications on Two Wheat Cultivars Grown in the Trans‐Gangetic Plains of India - Mukesh Kumar; A. Sarangi; D. K. Singh; A. R. Rao; S. Sudhishri; R. K. Singh; Ajita Gupta; Ravindra D. Randhe (Irrigation and Drainage, 2025)
The experiment was conducted in a split–split plot design (SSPD) layout on two winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, namely, the salt‐tolerant KRL‐1‐4 and the salt‐intolerant HD‐2894, under various saline irrigation regimes ranging from 1.7 to 12 dSm −1 treated with and without foliar potassium application at a K + :Na + ratio of 1:10. In the SSPD experiment, the main effects of salinity, foliar application, and variety, along with their interaction effects, were examined. The results of the comprehensive statistical analysis revealed the significance of these factors. All four salt levels substantially reduced the grain yield for both wheat varieties, with the other variables held constant. These findings underscore the detrimental impact of salinity on wheat productivity. The analysis further supported the hypothesis that foliar potassium spray plays a pivotal role in influencing the grain production of both wheat cultivars. Notably, both the foliar and nonfoliar potassium treatment means were found to be statistically different. The statistical analysis conducted in this study not only provides valuable insights into the effects of salinity and potassium application on wheat cultivars but also serves as a guide for future studies with similar experimental designs. This research contributes to our understanding of the optimal conditions for wheat cultivation in saline environments.

Extension of lifespan by epicatechin, halofuginone and mitoglitazone in male but not female genetically heterogeneous mice - Randy Strong; James F. Nelson; Molly A. Bogue; Jerry R. Colca; Martin Denzel; Vivian Diaz; Brian N. Finck; Vadim N. Gladyshev; Steve Horvath; Nisi Jiang; Tracy Keller; Rolf F. Kletzien; et al. (GeroScience, 2025)
Mice bred in 2021 were tested by the Interventions Testing Program (ITP) for possible lifespan benefits of 2BAct (2BA), dichloroacetate (DCA), Epicatechin (EPI), Forskolin (FSK), Halofuginone (HAL) and Mitoglitazone (MIT). All agents were administered in the diet ad libitum beginning at 7 months of age. In male mice, EPI increased median lifespan by ~ 5%, and HAL and MIT each increased median lifespan by ~ 9%. EPI and HAL, but not MIT, increased 90% survival. In addition to adding 3 new agents to the list of interventions identified by the ITP that extend lifespan, this report continues the strong male bias in the efficacy of life-extending drugs identified so far.

The major objectives of this study were to examine the effectiveness of different application methods (surface vs subsurface) of broiler litter and pine wood pristine biochar on the leaching of dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) via preferential flows in no-till pasture fields located in Alabama, USA. Intact undisturbed soil cores (15 soil cores having dimensions of 150 mm inner diameter and 500 mm length) were used for column-based successive rainfall simulation experiments. Treatments were surface-applied broiler litter, subsurface-banded broiler litter, surface-applied broiler litter + biochar, subsurface-banded broiler litter + biochar, and control (no biochar and no broiler litter). For each treatment, three simulations (simulation 1 (0th day), simulation 2 (5th day), and simulation 3 (10th day)) were performed. The bromide breakthrough curves provided evidence of preferential flow through all soil columns. Treated columns leached significantly ( p < 0.05) greater amounts of dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) than control columns. However, DRP leaching was higher in simulation 1 ( p < 0.05 ) than in simulations 2 and 3 in all treated columns except subsurface broiler litter treatment. Additionally, DRP leaching consistently decreased with successive rainfall events in all treatments. Among different application methods, either broiler litter alone or along with pristine biochar, the subsurface application method proved to be more effective than surface broadcasting in controlling DRP losses.

Temporal Variations in Wave Systems in a Multimodal Sea State in the Coastal Waters of the Eastern Arabian Sea - Sivakrishnan K. Kalappurakal; Shanas R. Puthuveetil; V. Sanil Kumar (Oceans, 2025)
Multimodal waves can significantly impact ocean–atmosphere interactions and affect coastal ecosystems. Due to the presence of waves created in different geographical areas, many wave systems coexist in coastal seas. Based on data collected with a directional waverider buoy, this study investigates fluctuations in multimodal sea states from March 2010 to May 2020 in the eastern Arabian Sea. The watershed-based spectral partitioning method is used to analyze 2D wave spectra obtained from measurements. Four-wave systems are present during pre- and post-monsoon periods, and three systems are detected during the monsoon (June–September). Interannual changes in significant wave height and peak wave period of different systems are investigated, revealing the maximum interannual variability of all wave systems in the inter-monsoon periods (May and October). The most energetic system during the pre-monsoon period is wind seas from the northwest direction, whereas during monsoon, swells from the southwest-west dominate. This pattern is similar across a spatial distance of 570 km along the western coastal waters of India. In the post-monsoon period, both systems (wind seas and swells) are present, with swells having slightly higher intensity.

Dissecting resistance mechanisms to Agroathelia rolfsii in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) through comparative RNA-Seq profiling of resistant and susceptible genotypes - Pankaj Kumar Verma; Arindam Das; Manisha Ojha; Koushik Ghose; Gunvant B. Patil; Venkateswara R. Sripathi; Rebecca S. Bennett; Naveen Puppala; Madhusudhana R. Janga (Journal of Plant Pathology, 2025)
Stem rot, caused by the fungal pathogen Agroathelia rolfsii , is a devastating disease in peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.), resulting in substantial global agricultural losses. This study employed RNA sequencing to unravel the molecular mechanisms of resistance by analysing the gene expression profiles of a resistant peanut genotype (Georgia-03 L) and a susceptible genotype (Valencia C) under normal and infected conditions. From the sequencing data, 405.9 million high-quality reads were successfully mapped to the A. hypogaea reference genome, achieving an average mapping rate of 97%. The alignment showed that out of the 67,124 annotated genes in the Tifrunner genome, 49,598 were expressed in at least one sample. In the resistant genotype, key defense-related genes, including receptor-like kinases, NBS-LRR resistance genes, and transcription factors such as MYB and zinc finger proteins, were strongly induced upon infection in G03L. Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) identified a coexpression gene module which associated with resistance and enriched with the genes involved in oxidative stress response, secondary metabolism, and cell wall reinforcement. In contrast, the susceptible genotype displayed a limited activation of these defense pathways, emphasizing its vulnerability to A. rolfsii . Functional annotation highlighted critical pathways, such as oxidoreductase activity, glutathione metabolism, and peroxidase-mediated responses, as pivotal to the resistance mechanisms. These findings provide valuable insights into the molecular basis of stem rot resistance in peanuts, offering a foundation for breeding or genetic engineering approaches to enhance disease resistance in susceptible cultivars.

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Dots for Sensitive Fluorescence-Based Urea Detection in Soil - Numy Eranikkal; K. R. Riyamol; Hajera Shafaf; Mohammad Nawshad; Muni Raj Maurya; Anwarul Hasan; Probir Das; Kishor Kumar Sadasivuni (Journal of Fluorescence, 2025)
This study presents a rapid, green, and highly sensitive fluorescence-based method for detecting urea in soil using nitrogen-doped carbon dots (CDs) synthesized via a microwave-assisted process. Citric acid and urea were used as carbon and nitrogen precursors, respectively, with optimal synthesis achieved at a 1:1 weight ratio and 9 min of microwave irradiation. The structural properties of nitrogen-doped carbon dots (CDs) were studied using X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) technique was used to observe the shape and size of the CDs, providing insight into their morphology. To understand the chemical composition, bonding states, and surface functionalities, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses were carried out. The performance of the nitrogen-doped-CDs in detecting urea, including their sensitivity and selectivity, was evaluated using fluorescence spectroscopy. The resulting CDs exhibited enhanced fluorescence properties and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 143 mg/gm. The method demonstrated high selectivity toward urea even in the presence of interfering metal ions, and its effectiveness was validated in soil samples under varying pH conditions. This approach provides a cost-effective, scalable, and environmentally friendly solution for real-time monitoring of soil nutrients, supporting sustainable agricultural practices through improved nitrogen management.
