Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the deadliest cancers, ranking third in cancer incidence worldwide. These tumor cells often adopt unique strategies under chemotherapeutic stress to attain a reversible drug-tolerant state ...

Ore beneficiation results in the production of finely ground tailings after the extraction of minerals. In recent decades, the production of mine tailings has expanded due to the growing demand for minerals. The tailings ...

Copy number variations (CNVs) in the Plasmodium vivax genome can influence key parasite traits such as erythrocyte invasion, immune evasion, drug resistance, and survival in the human host. Their potential role in severe ...

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria has become a major concern for the effective treatment of infections; therefore, alternatives to antibiotics are being extensively researched to combat drug-resistant microbes. In this ...

BBX proteins are a family of zinc finger transcription factors that are versatile regulators of plant development. The 32 BBX proteins in Arabidopsis are subdivided into five structural groups based on their domain structure. ...

The bZIP transcription factor ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5) represents a major hub in the light-signaling cascade both under visible and UV-B light. The mode of transcriptional regulation of HY5, especially under UV-B light, ...

Under acute stress conditions, precocious seedling development may result in the premature death of young seedlings, before they switch to autotrophic growth. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) inhibits seed germination ...

Seed germination and postgermination seedling establishment are crucial early developmental events in angiosperms. Although the demarcations between these two successive events appear to be elusive, they have been defined ...

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a crucial role in plant development, regulating germination, seedling development and stomatal movements, especially under adverse conditions. Light interacts with the ABA signalling pathway to ...

Abiotic stress conditions such as drought, salinity, and flood challenge agricultural production worldwide by adversely affecting crop growth and yield. Plants inherently possess sophisticated response mechanisms for ...
