Embryogenic cultures were initiated from haploid and diploid seedlings of maize inbred LH244 and monitored for ploidy stability by flow cytometry over the course of six mo. Both culture types were transformed with three different constructs using Agrobacterium tumefaciens to compare transformation and gene editing frequencies. Paromomycin resistant cell lines were split prior to plant regeneration, and half of the tissue was t...

Hwangkeumjakyak-tang (HJT), a Korean traditional herbal medicine, is known to clear phlegm, relieve congestion, and reduce inflammation. However, there is a lack of research on the efficacy of HJT in other diseases. The present study aimed to investigate whether HJT could protect against liver injury. We first examined the effects of HIT in vitro by assessing its toxicity and the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of nu...

Coastal hypoxia in the densely populated Indian Ocean regions has dramatic consequences for ecosystems and ecosystem services such as fisheries and coastal protection. However, inadequate understanding of the spatio‐temporal variability of coastal hypoxia in the region, and its physical and biological drivers, poses a major challenge for anticipating these risks. Here we use in‐situ observations and a high‐resolution (1/12 deg...

Since 1980, atmospheric pollutants in South Asia and India have dramatically increased in response to industrialization and agricultural development, enhancing the atmospheric deposition of anthropogenic nitrogen in the northern Indian Ocean and potentially promoting primary productivity. Concurrently, ocean warming has increased stratification and limited the supply of nutrients supporting primary productivity. Here, we exami...

Aim We test the hypothesis that wind dispersal is more common among emergent tree species given that being tall increases the likelihood of effective seed dispersal. Location Americas, Africa and the Asia‐Pacific. Time period 1970–2020. Major taxa studied Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. Methods We used a dataset consisting of tree inventories from 2821 plots across three biogeographic regions (Americas, Africa and Asia‐Pacific),...

Sleep apnea is probably the most common respiratory disorder; respiration and blood oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) are major concerns in sleep apnea and are also the two main parameters checked by polysomnography (PSG, the gold standard for diagnosing sleep apnea). In this study, we used a simple, non-invasive monitoring system based on photoplethysmography (PPG) to continuously monitor SpO 2 and heart rate (HR) for individuals at...
