Kang Ha Ye JinJang WooyeongKo MinsamRyu Kwang Sun - Cajanus platycarpus, a wild relative of cultivated pigeonpea, exhibits robust resistance to the pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera; however, the contribution of terpenoid metabolism to this resistance has not been systematically examined. Here, we investigate the terpene synthase (TPS) gene family in C. platycarpus and its relation with continued herbivory. The C. platycarpus genome encodes 52 TPS genes distributed across 11 chromosomes, comprising both conserved TPS lineages and species-specific expansions. Integrative analyses of phylogeny, synteny, and herbivory-associated expression patterns prioritized CpTPS32, CpTPS42, and CpTPS47 as candidate TPS genes linked to herbivore-responsive terpene emission patterns. These genes are connected with the production of a focused set of mono- and sesquiterpenes, including linalool, nerolidol, germacrene D, and α-farnesene. Coherently, GC-MS/LC-MS profiling revealed recurrent herbivore-induced shifts in the relative abundance of this restricted terpene blend. Heterologous expression of the selected CpTPS genes in Nicotiana benthamiana was linked with reduced insect damage and production of the target metabolites. Artificial diet assays with linalool and nerolidol suppressed larval growth and induced detoxification-related cytochrome P450 gene expression in the larval midgut. Together, our findings identified a small subset of TPS genes and a concomitant terpene blend associated with herbivore-responsive chemical defense in C. platycarpus, providing a framework for prioritizing the candidate genes for engineering enhanced pod borer resistance in pigeonpea. - Source: PubMed

EBV+ lymphomas in immunocompetent humans are usually derived from germinal center (GC)-experienced B cells and have stringent latency forms that do not express the viral transforming protein, EBNA2. Human EBV+ lymphomas that lack EBNA2 expression are largely driven by the viral LMP1 and LMP2A proteins, which activate NF-κB and B cell receptor-like signaling, respectively, or by Myc translocations. However, EBNA2 is required for EBV-mediated transformation of B cells in vitro and there is currently no model system for studying how EBV transforms human GC-derived B cells into lymphomas in vivo in the absence of EBNA2 expression or Myc translocation. Here, we show that human tonsil GC B cells (GCBs) infected with an EBNA2-deleted EBV mutant proliferate on a CD40L/IL21-expressing feeder layer and form lymphomas in NSG mice that resemble human DLBCLs (both ABC and GCB subtypes) and PLs. These EBV-induced lymphomas occur in the absence of Myc overexpression, often have normal karyotypes, and do not contain mutations in cellular genes (including p53) commonly mutated in uninfected human DLBCLs. Using this model system, we show that LMP2A induces plasmablast differentiation, increases expression of genes involved in lymphocyte mobility and trafficking and enhances tumor invasiveness in vivo. This new model system can thus be used to define roles of viral and cellular proteins in EBV-induced human GCB-derived lymphomas that lack EBNA2 expression. - Source: PubMed

While university students are a key donor demographic, data on engineering students-a group with distinct academic profiles-is limited. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding blood donation and identified the associated factors of these domains among first-year engineering students in Nepal. - Source: PubMed

Teli BholaRijal DurgaGc SulochanKhanal AshokSingh Anil Kumar - The rising global need for sustainable energy has driven the exploration of efficient and cost-effective pathways for producing biodiesel from renewable resources. This work presents the development of an enhanced solid catalyst (NES9-3) derived from a synergistic blend of eggshells and sardine scales (ES). Unlike conventional eggshell-derived calcium oxide (CaO) catalysts, which often suffer from rapid deactivation due to leaching, the incorporation of sardine scale-derived hydroxyapatite (HAP) introduces a synergistic effect, providing improved structural stability and partial resistance to catalyst deactivation. The 1:1 ES mixture was first thermally treated at 900 °C for 3 h to obtain the ES9-3 catalyst, which served as a reference catalyst. A subsequent hydration-dehydration-recalcination process was employed to produce the NES9-3 catalyst, aiming to generate a more porous structure with increased surface area and enhanced catalytic activity. Structural characterization using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis confirmed significant phase transformations, enhanced textural properties, and reduced crystallite size following the modification treatment. The transesterification of waste frying oil (WFO) was optimized using response surface methodology. Under the optimized conditions (2.97 wt% catalyst, 12.35:1 methanol-to-oil molar ratio, and 3.02 h reaction time), the NES9-3 catalyst achieved a biodiesel yield of 93.72% with a conversion efficiency of 97.29%, as confirmed by H nuclear magnetic resonance (H NMR). In contrast, ES9-3 exhibited a lower yield of 85.8% under identical conditions and required a longer reaction time and higher methanol consumption to achieve an 89% yield. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis confirmed the formation of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), and the resulting biodiesel complied with ASTM D6751 and EN 14214 fuel standards. This study demonstrates that coupling CaO with hydroxyapatite, followed by hydration-dehydration modification, provides a strategy to partially mitigate catalyst deactivation and improve catalytic efficiency, offering a sustainable and economically viable approach for biodiesel production within a circular bioeconomy framework. - Source: PubMed
