Summary: Screening of 862 T-DNA lines identified mutants defective in different phases of indirect adventitious organogenesis in tomato, including callus growth, bud differentiation, and shoot-bud development. Mutants of TDC-1 and TDS-1 genes showed specific roles in cell proliferation and organization of adventitious shoot meristems, respectively, while mutants of TDB-1, -2, -3 genes exhibited multiple changes in vegetative and reproductive traits, with the discovery of the involvement of the SlMAPKKK17 gene in shoot-bud differentiation.

Summary: This study establishes an effective management system for teak plantations in the Lao PDR by investigating the relationship between tree growth curve parameters and topographic conditions. The results show that slope gradient and stand density have significant negative correlations with the upper limits of teak tree's diameter at breast height (DBH) and height growth. The curvature of DBH and height growth curves shows significant positive correlations with the slope form. Moreover, elevation and slope gradient have significant negative correlations with the curvature of tree height growth curve, while DBH growth time lag has a significant negative correlation with slope position and tree height growth time lag is positively correlated with slope gradient.

Summary: The study found that embryonic axes and cotyledonary nodes with two cotyledons were the most effective explant types for shoot and callus formation in common bean. This efficient regeneration system through direct and indirect organogenesis provides a useful reference for future genetic transformation research.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) molecular weight on the indirect photodegradation of antibiotics. The results showed that antibiotics had a higher degradation rate in low molecular weight DOM fractions, which were rich in terrestrial humic-like substances.

Summary: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a method used to support critically ill patients, but it poses challenges in terms of complications and medication optimization. A non-systematic review evaluated the pharmacokinetic parameters of commonly used anti-infectives in ECMO patients and found that they are similar to those in non-ECMO critically ill populations, but there is considerable variability between patients, indicating the need for further evaluation of therapeutic drug monitoring in this complex population.

Summary: Centratherum punctatum Cass. is an important wild ornamental medicinal plant with various medicinal properties. This study presents a protocol for shoot regeneration from leaf explants through in vitro culture. The optimal conditions for shoot regeneration and callus induction were determined, and the clonal fidelity of the micropropagated plants was confirmed through genetic marker analysis.

Summary: In this study, a one-step seedling regeneration tissue culture system was used to improve the plantlet regeneration efficiency of konjac. Different sterilization methods and plant growth regulator combinations were applied, resulting in efficient somatic embryogenesis and plantlet regeneration. The establishment of this system significantly increased the micropropagation efficiency and decreased the cost of konjac tissue culture.

Summary: The impacts of water chemistry properties, such as pH and dissolved organic carbon (DOC), on the ecotoxicity of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are evident. pH affects the bioavailability of ionizable APIs through chemical speciation, while DOC interacts with APIs to inhibit their traversal through organisms' membrane system. This study examined the influences of pH and DOC on the bioavailability of ampicillin and clarithromycin using a bioavailability model. The results showed that pH significantly affected the bioavailability of ampicillin, while DOC had no significant effect on the bioavailability of both antibiotics.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of different growth substances on the rooting of adventitious shoots of two argan genotypes and found the optimal medium formulation to promote root development. Furthermore, high survival rates were achieved by using appropriate substrate mixtures for plantlet acclimatization, providing important insights for rapid and large-scale propagation of this endangered species.
