Exogenous application with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) or pro...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract— A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) like Azotobacter chrocoocum A101, Pseudomonas fluorescens, pseudomonas mendocina Palleroni 1970 and Azospirillum lipoferum N040 or proline on growth traits, photosynthetic pigments, relative water content (RWC), electrolyte leakage percent (EL%), osmoprotectants such as proline and soluble sugars, activities of antioxidant enzymes like peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and catalase (CAT), oil percent and water use efficiency (WUE) of basil plants subjected to water stress. Plants were treated with two regimes of irrigation water, i.e., 100% of evapotranspiration (ETc) (control) and 60% of ETc and PGPR or proline. Growth traits, photosynthetic pigments, RWC, EL %, proline and soluble sugars concentrations, activities of antioxidant enzymes oil percent and water use efficiency (WUE) were significantly altered by water stress and PGPR or proline treatments. Results indicated that PGPR or proline mitigated the water stress and significantly reduced the reduction in growth traits and leaf water content as compared to non-PGPR or proline-treated water-stressed plants. Water-stressed plants treated with PGPR or proline had significant higher photosynthetic pigments, proline and soluble sugars concentrations than water-stressed plants without PGPR or proline treatments. Higher POD, PPO and CAT activities were also observed in water-stressed plants treated by PGPR or proline than water-stressed plants without PGPR or proline treatments. Furthermore, water-stressed plants treated with PGPR or proline treatments had also significant higher oil percent and WUE as compared to water-stressed plants without PGPR or proline treatments. These results are important as the potential of PGPR or proline to alleviate the harmful effects of water stress and offers an opportunity to increase the resistance of basil plants to growth under drought conditions. The protective action of PGPR was more efficient than proline.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
3. PROLINE
Alpha amino acid.
Involves in protein synthesis.
Cellular homeostasis.
Can act as signaling molecule to modulate
mitochondrial functions.
Influnces cell proliferation.
Triggers specific gene expression.
4. REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES
(ROS)
Aerobic metabolism constantly generates ROS which are
confined to the different plant cellular compartments, like the
chloroplast, mitochondria and peroxisomes.
The major members of the ROS family include free radicals
like O•−
2, OH• and non-radicals like H2O2 and 1O2.
Act as secondary messengers.
Also induce oxidative damages under environmental stress
conditions.
The cellular damages are manifested in the form of
degradation of biomolecules.
Estimates show that only 1–2% of the O2 consumption by plant tissues,
leads to the formation of ROS.

10. PLANT STRESS
Plant stress has been defined by Lichtenthaler
(1996) as any unfavorable environmental
conditions that alter plant growth, development
and metabolism, and even may lead to plant
death.
Salt and soil drought conditions are major
abiotic stress factors that limits crop
productivity.

14. LOCALISATION OF ENZYMES
P5CS1 accumulates in chloroplast under salt or osmotic
stress.
P5CS2 predominantly localised in the cytosol.
P5CR protein and activity detected in both cytosol and
chloroplast.
PDH and P5CDH are mitochondrial enzymes that use
FAD and NAD+ as electron acceptors and generate FADH2
and NADH respectively, delivering elctrons for mitochondrial
respiration.
When PDH activity is limited, the P5C-proline cycle can
transfer more electrons to the mitochondrial ETC and
generate reactive oxygen species (ROS)
15. MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS OF PROLINE
IN PLANTS
REF: Laszlo Szabados et al. Proline: a multifunctional amino acid, Trends in Plant Science, 2009, 15: 89-97
16. PROLINE AS ANTIOXIDANT
Proline has the ROS scavenging activity by which it
protect the cells from oxidative damage.
Proline treatment can diminish ROS levels in fungi
and yeast, thus preventing programmed cell death, and
can reduce lipid peroxidation in alga cells exposed to
heavy metals.
Proline pretreatment also alleviated mercuric toxicity
in rice through scavenging ROS, such as H2O2
(hydrogen peroxide).
17. PROLINE AS ANTIOXIDANT AND
PERHAPS A PROTECTANT
The damaging effects of singlet oxygen and hydroxyl
radicals on photosystem 2 (PS2) can be reduced by
proline in isolated thylakoid membranes.
As an alternative to direct ROS scavenging feature,
proline can protect and stabilise proteins and perhaps
ROS scavenging enzymes and activate alternative
detoxification pathways.
Proline function as a molecular chaperone to protect
protein integrity and enhance the activities of different
enzymes. E.g. ribonucleases, proteases, nitrate
reductase, lactate dehydrogenase.

19. BIOSYNTHESIS OF GABA
GABA shunt reactions are responsible for the synthesis, conservation and
metabolism of GABA. GABA-T, GABA α-oxoglutarate transaminase; GAD, glutamic
acid decarboxylase; SSADH, succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase
20. GABA SHUNT PATHWAY
• In cytosol, glutamate
decarboxylase(GAD)
catalyses glutamate to
GABA.
•GABA is transported from
cytosol to mitochondria and
forms succinate
semialdehyde(SSA),
catalysed by 2-oxyglutarate-
dependent GABA
transaminase(GABA-T).
•SSA is converted to
succinate by SSA
dehydrogenase(SSADH).
•Succinate enters to TCA
cycle

Science, 2012, 17: 57-59
21. REDOX HOMEOSTASIS BY GABA
During stress conditions GABA levels
increase because stress is generally
associated with elevated ratios of NADH to
NAD+ and NADPH to NADP+ , and
frequently with cytosolic acidosis (e.g.
hypoxia), the glyoxylate reductase (GLYRs),
like glutamate decarboxylate (GAD), would
be expected to function efficiently during
stress.
