RESUMO

Infra-red multiple-photon dissociation spectroscopy on Xe-tagged Re/Si clusters, [ReSin]+, n = 3-9, reveals intense absorption features around 400 cm-1, along with, in some cases, additional bands in the 250-350 cm-1 window. A survey of the potential energy surface using density functional theory in conjunction with particle swarm optimisation indicates a growth pattern based on a growing network of Si atoms wrapped around the Re centre: the Sin units can be viewed as fragments of a putative 16-vertex Frank-Kasper polyhedron. The structural evolution for the [ReSin]+ series differs significantly from the iso-electronic Mn series studied previously, where the metal ion is typically bound externally to the surface of a growing 3-dimensional Sin cluster, the differences reflecting the greater accessibility of 5d vs. 3d electron density.

RESUMO

Overview and significance: Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by aberrant formation of nonfunctional lung tissue with anomalous systemic blood supply. Despite its rarity, PS presents significant diagnostic and management challenges, often necessitating a multidisciplinary approach for optimal patient outcomes. This case report provides insights into the clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities, and management strategies for PS. Case summary: The authors present a case of a 30-year-old male who complained of chronic cough and hemoptysis and was eventually diagnosed with intralobar PS by computed tomography (CT) imaging. The patient underwent a surgical procedure, specifically a lobectomy, to address the lung tissue. Clinical discussion: The diagnosis of intralobar PS is confirmed by CT imaging, showing features of abnormalities, including irregular cystic communication. A large area with abnormal systemic arterial supply and variable venous fluid. This patient presented with symptoms consistent with PS, including chronic cough and hemoptysis, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis and intervention to prevent life-threatening complications. Conclusion: Lung sequestration has diagnostic challenges due to its variable clinical presentation and potential for misdiagnosis. However, advances in technology, such as CT angiography, make accurate diagnosis and precise surgical planning easier. Prompt intervention via lobectomy or transarterial embolization is important to reduce the risk of life-threatening complications associated with PS. These data highlight the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration between physicians, radiologists, and surgeons to effectively manage PS and improve patient outcomes.

RESUMO

Millets stand out as a sustainable crop with the potential to address the issues of food insecurity and malnutrition. These small-seeded, drought-resistant cereals have adapted to survive a broad spectrum of abiotic stresses. Researchers are keen on unravelling the regulatory mechanisms that empower millets to withstand environmental adversities. The aim is to leverage these identified genetic determinants from millets for enhancing the stress tolerance of major cereal crops through genetic engineering or breeding. This review sheds light on transcription factors (TFs) that govern diverse abiotic stress responses and play role in conferring tolerance to various abiotic stresses in millets. Specifically, the molecular functions and expression patterns of investigated TFs from various families, including bHLH, bZIP, DREB, HSF, MYB, NAC, NF-Y and WRKY, are comprehensively discussed. It also explores the potential of TFs in developing stress-tolerant crops, presenting a comprehensive discussion on diverse strategies for their integration.

RESUMO

KEY MESSAGE: A total of 104 foxtail millet accessions were evaluated for 11 nutrients in three environments and 67 high-confidence marker-trait associations (MTAs) were identified. Six SNPs showed pleiotropic effect and associated with two or more nutrients, whereas 24 candidate genes were identified for 28 MTAs involving seven traits. Millets are known for their better nutritional profiles compared to major cereals. Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is rich in nutrients essential to circumvent malnutrition and hidden hunger. However, the genetic determinants underlying this trait remain elusive. In this context, we evaluated 104 diverse foxtail millet accessions in three different environments (E1, E2, and E3) for 11 nutrients and genotyped with 30K SNPs. The genome-wide association study showed 67 high-confidence (Bonferroni-corrected) marker-trait associations (MTAs) for the nutrients except for phosphorus. Six pleiotropic SNPs were also identified, which were associated with two or more nutrients. Around 24 candidate genes (CGs) were identified for 28 MTAs involving seven nutrients. A total of 17 associated SNPs were present within the gene region, and five (5) were mapped in the exon of the CGs. Significant SNPs, desirable alleles and CGs identified in the present study will be useful in breeding programmes for trait improvement.
