The mRNA-surveillance factor, PELOTA is essential for maintaining translation fidelity and facilitating the degradation of faulty mRNAs. Initially recognized for its role in ribosome rescue and RNA quality control in eukaryotic cells, PELOTA has recently garnered attention for its diverse functions in plant biology as well as in plant-virus interactions. Numerous studies suggest that the PELOTA protein plays a distinctive role...

The optical characteristics of coastal Antarctic waters exhibit complexity due to the dynamic hydrography influenced by meltwater intrusion, which alters nutrient levels, thermohaline structure, and optically active substances (OAS) regimes. Studies on bio-optical variability and its implications on phytoplankton productivity (PP) are scanty in coastal polar regions. On this backdrop, time-series measurements (72 h at 6 h inte...
