In vitro assessment of chemical surface treatments on the shear bond strength of metal orthodontic brackets to CAD/CAM provisional materials by Abdulaziz A. Alzaid, Abdulaziz A. Alzaid, Khalid K. Alanazi, Maha N. Alharbi, Maha N. Alharbi, Lulu A. Alyahya, Lulu A. Alyahya, Hatem Alqarni, Hatem Alqarni, Mohammed Alsaloum, Mohammed Alsaloum, Hayam Alfallaj, Hayam Alfallaj, Ghada S. Alotaibi, Ghada S. Alotaibi, Ghada S. Alotaibi

“…The bond strength was inferior in milled materials: HFA (5.98 ± 0.59 MPa) and PA (5.66 ± 0.65 MPa) with no significant difference between both surface treatments. When each material was evaluated separately, a significant difference in SBS was found for surface treatments in 3D-printed materials (p &lt; 0.001) but not for milled materials (p = 0.916). …”

The sporophytic type of fertility restoration in the A3 CMS-inducing cytoplasm of sorghum and its modification by plant water availability conditions by L. A. Elkonin, V. V. Kozhemyakin, M. I. Tsvetova

“…For the first time, the transgenerational effect of water availability conditions of growing a fertility-restoring line on male fertility of the F2 generation was detected: a pollinator grown in a plot with additional irrigation produced more fertile and less sterile individuals compared to the same pollinator grown under a rainfall shelter (p &lt; 0.01), and the segregation pattern changed from digenic to monogenic, indicating heritable inhibition of the expression of one of the fertility-restoring genes (kind of “grandfather effect”). …”

Insertional Mutagenesis as a Strategy to Open New Paths in Microalgal Molybdenum and Nitrate Homeostasis by Esperanza Leon-Miranda, Manuel Tejada-Jimenez, Angel Llamas

“…To achieve this, we generated more than 5000 <i>Chlamydomonas</i> transformants through insertional mutagenesis using a paromomycin resistance cassette (<i>AphVIII</i>) and screened them for altered growth on nitrate and under different Mo concentrations. We identified four strains showing altered growth patterns when using nitrate as a nitrogen source or exhibiting increased sensitivity or resistance to Mo. …”
