Molecular Plant Physiology for Model Plants under Abiotic Stress ConditionsAbstract Extreme temperatures, drought, and high soil salinity are some of the significant abiotic stresses that can severely impact crop yields, posing a threat to global food production. Comprehensive studies on model plant species are crucial for understanding their biochemical, physiological, and molecul [...] 479 3419 |
Sun Safety Struggles Among Children with Xeroderma Pigmentosum in a Tropical Low-Income CountryAbstract Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genodermatosis characterized by increased sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation, leading to severe skin manifestations and a higher risk of early-onset malignancies. Previous studies from temperate climate countries with sound economic levels showed adequate photo [...] 445 2475 |
Newborn Screening for Neuromuscular Disorders, Disorders of Glycogen Metabolism, and Fatty Acid OxidationAbstract Newborn screening for neuromuscular disorders and glycogen or fatty acid oxidation disorders aims to identify infants at risk for these conditions, allowing for early intervention and management. While not all neuromuscular disorders currently have established newborn screening programs, there are v [...] 446 2612 |
A Comprehensive in Silico Analysis of the Functional and Structural Consequences of the Deleterious Missense Nonsynonymous SNPs in Human GABRA6 GeneAbstract Epilepsy, a prevalent neurological disorder, affects more than 50 million individuals worldwide and is characterized by recurring seizures. Nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) found within coding regions of epilepsy-related genes are believed to have significant impact [...] 442 3022 |

This study aims to evaluate the lung compromise in chest CT scans of high-altitude dwellers hospitalized with COVID-19. Retrospective study that took place in "Daniel Alcides Carrión&quo [...] 411 2296 |
Allelic Variation of High-Molecular-Weight Glutenin Genes in Triticum Species and Triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack)by
Penko Spetsov
and
Nadia Daskalova
Abstract High-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) encoded by alleles at the Glu-A1, Glu-B1, and Glu-D1 loci confer unique bread-making properties of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The identification [...] 451 2712 |
