Coinoculation with growth-promoting microorganisms has proven to be an efficient strategy for enhancing the agronomic performance of onion ( Allium cepa L.). This study evaluated the effect of inoculating Pantoea phytobeneficialis PF55 and Trichoderma harzianum ESALQ 1306, applied individually and in combination, on agronomic, biochemical, and microbiological variables of the Valessul cultivar. The experiment was conducted in...

This study investigated whether the genus Luffa could act as a sporulation inducer for Macrophomina euphorbiicola , with the aim of providing a morphological description and proposing a taxonomic amendment for the species. In a greenhouse, Luffa cylindrica was inoculated with M. euphorbiicola to induce the formation of pycnidia and conidia. Previously, M. euphorbiicola had been described only using molecular methods. Eighty da...

Metabolic steatotic liver disease (MASLD) lacks effective pharmacological therapies targeting mitochondrial dysfunction, a central driver of disease progression. We hypothesized that dapagliflozin attenuates MASLD progression by promoting an indirect systemic fasting-mimicking state, thereby proposing the hypothesis of mitochondrial restoring mitochondrial bioenergetics restoration via modulation of the SIRT1–PGC-1α signaling...

A new species of pearl cichlid of the ‘ Geophagus ’ brasiliensis species group, endemic to the Piranga River, a major tributary of the upper Doce River basin in the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil, is herein described. The new species is delimited using an integrative approach, with molecular‐based species delimitation methods coupled with morphological diagnosis. For this, we developed a matrix containing 27 sequen...
