Foliar-applied different treatments significantly reduced the water stress adverse effects on the performance of fennel plants regarding growth and yield that found linked to improvement in water status of plants and better net photosynthetic activity of fennel plants in comparison to non-treated plants. Combined application of Pro and BEB1 better maintained the seed yield and growth of fennel plants found associated with reduced lipid peroxidation, improvement in antioxidative defence mechanism, maintenance of plant water relations through better osmotic adjustment by increased accumulation of different metabolites. The maintenance of better yield and biomass production of water-stressed fennel plants also found positively associated with increased uptake as well as translocation of mineral nutrients.

An increase of 41.43% in seed yield was recorded in fennel plants sprayed with 1%Pro + BEB1. Combined foliar spray of Pro and BEB1 was found better to increase tolerance against water stress for better yield by improving physio-biochemical mechanisms than their individual applications.","PeriodicalId":8853,"journal":{"name":"Biologia futura","volume":" ","pages":"113-138"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145628411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, these chemicals also harm natural snail populations. In this study, the effects of selected bryophyte species extracts and their application concentrations were tested as natural snail repellents. Twelve bryophyte species, eight mosses, and four liverworts were randomly selected, and their ethanolic extracts were applied as burgundy snail repellents in lettuce. Significant antifeeding effects were observed for the liverworts Bazzania trilobata, Plagiochila asplenioides, and Porella platyphylla, as well as for the mosses Fontinalis antipyretica, Mnium stellare, and Neckera crispa. Among these, B. trilobata exhibited the strongest antifeeding effect without negatively impacting lettuce growth and development, as assessed through seed germination, hypocotyl length, and seedling total chlorophyll content. All bryophyte species with significant antifeeding i.e. repellent potential shared similar chemical profiles, characterized by high phenolic and triterpenoid contents and strong antioxidant capacity. The results obtained offer a nature-based solution in lettuce crop protection as well as an eco-friendly alternative in food production.","PeriodicalId":8853,"journal":{"name":"Biologia futura","volume":" ","pages":"175-188"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145628403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, we examined the effects of asprosin on electrocorticography (ECoG) band powers. Forty-two male Wistar rats were divided into six groups as follows: sham, 4-AP (2.5 mg/kg i.p.), asprosin 20 nmol (i.c.v.), asprosin 50 nmol (i.c.v.), asprosin 50 nmol (i.c.v.) posttreatment, and asprosin 50 nmol (i.c.v.) pre-treatment. Recordings lasting 60-70 min were conducted for all groups under ketamine/xylazine (90/10 mg/kg) anesthesia. In the posttreatment group, asprosin was injected 20 min after the induction of epileptiform activity. In the pre-treatment group, asprosin was injected after baseline recordings, and following a 20-min pre-treatment period, 4-AP was administered. 4-AP alone induced epileptiform activity in all animals, peaking at approximately the 30th minute. Asprosin significantly reduced ECoG power at doses of 20 nmol and 50 nmol. Furthermore, both doses of asprosin reduced alpha, beta, delta, theta, and gamma band activity in ECoG recordings at various time points. However, asprosin pre- and posttreatment had no significant effect on 4-AP-induced epileptiform activity. These findings suggest that asprosin modulates cortical excitability under physiological conditions but is ineffective in attenuating induced epileptiform activity.","PeriodicalId":8853,"journal":{"name":"Biologia futura","volume":" ","pages":"155-164"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145494355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Host-directed therapies that enhance innate immune responses offer promising alternatives to traditional antibiotics. This review focuses on the central role of the PI3K/PKB (Akt) signaling pathway in phagocytosis and bacterial inactivation across both primitive phagocytes, such as Dictyostelium discoideum, and mammalian immune cells. In Dictyostelium, PI3K/PKB signaling coordinates the maturation of phagosomes and the fusion of phagolysosomes, processes essential for bacterial killing. Similarly, in immune cells, this pathway regulates cytoskeletal remodeling, vesicle trafficking, and the degradation of microbes. Specific pathogens, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Salmonella, subvert PI3K/PKB to evade immune responses, highlighting the pathway's dual role in host defense and pathogen survival. Targeting PI3K/PKB signaling or its inhibitory regulators may enhance phagocytic efficiency and restore immune function. Thus, PI3K/PKB represents a critical module in innate immunity and a compelling target for next-generation antimicrobial strategies.","PeriodicalId":8853,"journal":{"name":"Biologia futura","volume":" ","pages":"29-37"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145602027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
