February 1996 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry” In this study, sequences upstream of the TGM3 gene were found to regulate epithelial-specific gene expression in keratinocytes, suggesting potential applications in gene therapy.
February 2026 in “South African Journal of Botany” In this study, rice straw-derived smoke water enhanced root growth in rice plants by increasing root meristem size and cell proliferation, reducing superoxide accumulation under phosphorus deficiency, and altering internal phosphorus partitioning, although it suppressed root hair elongation, which affected phosphate uptake.
