Rhizosphere organic acids drive nutrient release from silicate rock powders across contrasting tropical soilsNARA Subscribed
Aims Silicate rock powders can enhance nutrient availability through rhizosphere-mediated mineral weathering. Although organic acids mediate this process, how soil fertility shapes their interactions with rhizosphere microbial communities and nutrient release remains poorly understood. He, we evaluated how contrasting soil fertility influences rhizosphere organic acids, microbial communities, and nutrient release from silicate...
Aim We investigate the distribution of dispersal modes — endozoochory (via animal ingestion), synzoochory (via animal seed accumulation) and anemochory (via wind)—and seed mass of woody plants across Brazilian ecosystems, testing whether their relative abundance in local plant communities could be predicted by climate, edaphic factors and dispersal agents (e.g., the main vectors moving seeds). We expected climate to be the mai...
Cat-transmitted Sporotrichosis: A Clonal Household Outbreak with Atypical Human and Canine Disease Due to Sporothrix brasiliensisNARA Subscribed
The epidemiology of sporotrichosis, a neglected mycosis caused by Sporothrix species, has shifted in South America from classic sapronosis to urban zoonosis driven by feline transmission of the hypervirulent Sporothrix brasiliensis . However, the fine-scale transmission dynamics of this epidemic, particularly within households, remain poorly understood. Here, we dissect an intrafamilial outbreak in Brazil involving a cat (the...
Image-based phenotyping of castor bean seeds for morphological traits, seed weight prediction, and assessment of genetic diversityNARA Subscribed
Digital seed phenotyping offers an efficient and objective alternative to conventional, labor-intensive methods for morphological characterization in plant breeding programs. In castor bean, rapid and reliable tools are essential to support genetic improvement. This study evaluated the potential of digital phenotyping for seed characterization and its application in breeding. Seeds from 65 accessions (2023) and 51 accessions (...
PEGylated liposomal fluopsin C triggers cuproptosis and ferroptosis pathways and suppresses 3D tumor spheroid growth in NCI-H460 cellsNARA Subscribed
Copper-based metallodrugs are promising anticancer agents, but their toxicity limits clinical translation. This study evaluated the toxicological and molecular effects of PEGylated Fluopsin C (PEG-FlpC) in in vitro human non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NCI-H460) cells cultured as 2D monolayer and 3D spheroids. Cells were exposed to PEG-FlpC at its IC 50 (1.0 µM) for 24 h. Flow cytometry revealed G₁-phase arrest and non-apoptoti...
