Summary: This study provides a comprehensive profile of lysine lactylation in wheat during seed germination. The functional enrichment analysis reveals that lactylated proteins associated with glycolysis and TCA cycle are significantly enriched, and there are more differentially lactylated proteins in the up-regulated lactylated proteins compared to the down-regulated lactylated ones. Additionally, ten preferred amino acids near lactylation sites are identified in the embryos of germinated wheat seeds.

Summary: In recent decades, there has been a shift in focus towards investigating hybrid nanofluid flows due to increasing energy demands and applications. This study explores hydro-magnetic flow to investigate the effects of incompressible flow and heat transfer on a stretching surface with velocity and thermal slips. By using scaling similarity transformations and converting equations from dimensional to non-dimensional, the analysis examines how different non-dimensional parameters impact skin friction and Nusselt number transfer rate. Multilinear regression analysis is also conducted to explore the relationship between predictor variables and one criterion variable.

Summary: This research investigates the effects of Dufour and Soret parameters on the properties of hybrid nanofluid flow between two parallel plates with temperature dependent electrical conductivity. The heat transport process is studied using thermal radiation parameter and Eckert number. The equations are solved using the bvp4c solver in MATLAB. Multiple linear regression is employed to explain physical parameters of interest, including Sherwood number. The main findings suggest that the velocity decreases with increasing nanoparticle volume fraction parameter and the concentration profile decreases with increasing Soret parameter. It is also observed that the fluid temperature increases with increasing Dufour number.

Summary: In this study, a fractional second-grade fluid model with ternary nanoparticles (Cu, Ag, CuO) was used to investigate the effects of electroosmotic forces on an oblique stenosed aneurysmal artery. Analytical solutions were obtained for mild stenosis and aneurysm by solving the governing equations of the proposed model. Graphs were used to illustrate the effects of nanoparticles and aneurysm on blood flow rate, wall shear stress, and impedance. The results showed that ternary nanoparticles were more effective than hybrid and copper nanoparticles in attenuating hemodynamic factors. This study is particularly important for drug transportation and biomedical research.

Summary: This paper discusses the effect of radiation and an unsteady Carreau hybrid fluid on non-Fourier heat flux over a shrinking sheet. By utilizing similarity transformations, the system of partial differential equations is converted into a set of ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically using shooting approach and the Runge-Kutta method. Computational findings are presented through tables and graphs for temperature, velocity, heat transfer rate, and friction between fluid and hybrid nanoparticles. A restricted case comparison with prior research is made, confirming the strengthening of temperature profile by the heat generation parameter and radiation, and the deceleration of the momentum boundary layer thickness near the plate by the porosity parameter.

Summary: In this paper, the significance of mass and heat transfer characteristics in mixed convective flow with non-Fourier flux and thermal radiation is numerically investigated. The effects of a partial Casson slip and a mix of thermophoresis and Brownian motion on an elastic surface are considered. By using similarity transformations and the shooting method, the highly nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into an ordinary differential system and solved. The findings show that the ferromagnetic interaction has a positive effect on mass transfer rate and a mixed effect on friction and heat transfer rate.

Summary: This study investigates the flow of an incompressible fluid over a linear stretching surface with momentum and thermal slip conditions, considering both the presence and absence of a magnetic field. The governing equations are transformed to reveal absolute invariants and boundary conditions are mathematically elucidated. The results show that the momentum slip parameter decreases the friction coefficient in the presence of a magnetic field and increases it in the absence of a magnetic field. The thermal slip parameter increases the Nusselt number in both cases. The thermal and concentration buoyancy ratio parameters increase the friction factor, Nusselt number, and Sherwood numbers in both cases.
