Summary: Alcohol dependence leads to oxidative stress in the body, as evident from the changes observed in the levels of oxidative stress biomarkers. This meta-analysis highlights the decreased activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) enzymes and lower levels of albumin, along with increased levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), vitamin B12, homocysteine, and bilirubin in patients with alcohol dependence.

Summary: This study is the first to report on the efficacy of lupeol as a salt stress mitigating molecule in plants. It found that lupeol can alleviate the adverse effects of salt stress on plant growth and biomass traits. However, when lupeol was applied along with salt stress, the activity of antioxidative enzymes and the concentrations of phenolics and flavonoids decreased.

Summary: This study reveals the involvement of a Rossmann fold protein in the chitosan response in the moss Physcomitrium patens. Knocking out the Rossmann fold protein gene resulted in decreased peroxidase activity and reduced expression of the LOX gene, suggesting its importance in the signaling pathway leading to the oxidative burst and basal expression of the LOX gene in P. patens.

Summary: Monoterpenes applied as a foliar spray can increase antioxidant capacity and decrease oxidative stress in tomato plants under water deficit stress. The foliar uptake of exogenous monoterpenes was confirmed by the increase in foliar content with spray concentration. Exogenous monoterpenes effectively decreased the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxidation. However, their role in preventing reactive oxygen species accumulation rather than mitigating subsequent damage was emphasized. Low spray concentration proved most effective in decreasing oxidative stress, while higher concentrations up-regulated key antioxidant enzymes. The protective properties of specific monoterpenes and endogenous antioxidants require further research.

Summary: Oxygen activation in heme enzymes requires the formation of high oxidation states of iron, known as ferryl heme, with two intermediates known as Compound I and Compound II. Recent crystal structure studies of Compound II in cytochrome c peroxidase and ascorbate peroxidase reveal differences in iron-oxygen bond lengths, suggesting fine-tuning of the ferryl species across closely related peroxidase enzymes.

Summary: The study investigated apoplastic antioxidative constituents in different root zones of hydroponically grown maize using a noninvasive filter strip method. Metabolic analysis identified three major classes of low-weight metabolites (organic acids, sugars, and phenolics), with different distribution patterns in the apoplast. Advanced analytical techniques coupled with filter strips provided new insights into metabolic processes and spatial-temporal changes in small regions of intact root tissue.

Summary: This study constructed an asymmetric flow-electrode electrochemical separation (AFES) system, which efficiently removes As(III) from groundwater. The system achieves this through self-alkalization and the adsorption of H+ on the cathode, resulting in the removal of As(V) predominantly. The system shows stability and superior removal performance.

Summary: This review summarizes the current state of knowledge on when, where, and how ROS accumulate in response to aphids, the role of salivary effectors in modifying ROS levels in plants, and the impact of microbial associates on aphid-induced ROS. It also explores the potential adaptive significance of intra- and extracellular oxidative responses to aphid infestation in compatible and incompatible interactions, highlighting knowledge gaps that require further exploration.

Summary: Using Arabidopsis thaliana cultured cells, this study analyzed early cellular responses to sorbitol-induced hyperosmotic stress, revealing biphasic and dual responses in the cells. These responses included survival adaptation through signaling and osmotic adjustment, as well as programmed cell death in part of the cell population, raising questions about the induction of different behaviors in response to the same hyperosmotic condition.

Summary: In this study, theoretical calculations were performed to investigate various properties of iminodiacetic acid (IDA) molecule, including vibrational frequencies, NMR chemical shifts, geometric parameters, atomic charges, reactivity indices, and thermodynamical data. Different computational approaches and methods were utilized to compare the theoretical results with experimental data. It was found that while the computational predictions of vibrational frequencies were accurate at low frequencies, they were less successful at high frequencies. However, the computational methods performed well in predicting carbon and proton NMR chemical shifts. Comparison of different computational approaches also revealed the impact of method choice, dispersion correction, water solvation, basis set, and other factors on the calculated properties.

Summary: Rare earth elements (REEs) are a group of 17 metals with special physicochemical properties that have attracted the interest of chemists, environmental biologists, plant biologists, and molecular biologists. Despite limited knowledge about the mechanisms of REE action in living organisms, they have been found to enhance physiological activities in plants and serve as synergistic agents for nutrient intake. Understanding the effects of REEs on plant growth and development is important for scientists exploring their action mechanisms and researching ways to mitigate their adverse consequences.

Summary: Before the upheaval of phylogenetic classification, traditional taxonomy separated living beings into animals and plants; Western science, rooted in Aristotelian ideas, built its theoretical framework on this dichotomy. Despite the adoption of the Darwinian paradigm, the concept of the hierarchy of beings still influences the analysis and understanding of living species. Researchers aim to integrate developments in phylogeny, biology advancements, and a renewed interest in plant agency, to create an interdisciplinary approach to the realm of life.
