Abstract Salicylic acid (SA)‐mediated induction of systemic resistance by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain 7NSK2 and P. fluorescens CHA0 against soil‐borne fungi viruses have been reported. The role SA biosynthesis in the enhancement defence mechanism plant‐parasitic nematodes these bacterial strains tomato is not known. To better understand importance rhizobacteria‐mediated suppression root‐knot nematodes, biocontrol potential SA‐negative or SA‐overproducing mutants Meloidogyne javanica was...

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) represent one of the most prevalent FDA-approved modalities for treating autoimmune diseases, infectious and cancers. However, discovery development therapeutic remains a time-consuming expensive process. Recent advancements in machine learning (ML) artificial intelligence (AI) have shown significant promise revolutionizing antibody optimization. In particular, models that predict biological activity enable in-silico evaluation binding functional properties; such...

Laser excitation of an Ar–La plasma, generated in a hollow cathode discharge lamp, has allowed to us observe huge number spectral lines that could not be interpreted as transitions between already known La energy levels. From the observed hyperfine structure patterns and fluorescence lines, we derived 37 new levels, all with even parity, range 38 000 cm−1 43 cm−1. The existence these levels was then proved by excitations from other lower
