GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) and melatonin are endogenous compounds that enhance plant responses to abiotic stresses.The response of Vicia faba to different stressors (salinity (NaCl), poly ethylene glycol (PEG), and sulfur dioxide (SO2)) was studied after priming with sole application of GABA and melatonin or their co-application (GABA + melaton
Generally, epithelial cells must organize in three dimensions to Hat and Coat Stand form functional tissue sheets.Here we investigate one such sheet, the Drosophila embryonic epidermis, and the morphogenetic processes organizing cells within it.We report that epidermal morphogenesis requires the proper distribution of the apical polarity determinan
The social isolation resulting from the 2020 global pandemic posed both challenges and opportunities in higher education.One of the greatest opportunities has been the chance to foreground ANTIOXIDANT 7 the dimensions of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ).As online course enrollments in postsecondary programs increase, educators, rese
We have recently suggested a novel mechanism, autoendocytosis, for the entry of certain microbes into their hosts, with a key role played by the sphingomyelinase-catalyzed topical conversion of sphingomyelin to ceramide, the differences in the biophysical properties of these two lipids providing the driving force.The only requirement for such micro
