Comprehensive identification of GSK3 gene family in celery and functional characterization of AgSK22 involvement in salt stress by Xinyue Guo, Lan Zhang, Qing Zhang, Xinyue Yan, Chunliu Zuo, Xiaoming Song, Min Yuan

“…Cis-acting elements analysis and quantitative real-time PCR demonstrated the AgSKs were extensively involved in the plant response to cold, salt, and drought stresses, implying the potential essential functions of the AgSKs in celery. The transgenic Arabidopsis plants that overexpressing AgSK22 exhibited more sensitive to salt stress on seeds germination, suggesting that AgSK22 negatively regulated salt stress response. …”

Rural Water Point Functionality Estimates and Associations: Evidence From Nine Countries in Sub‐Saharan Africa and South Asia by Anna L. Murray, Gabriela Stone, Audrey R. Yang, Nicholas F. Lawrence, Hannah Matthews, Georgia L. Kayser

“…Water points in communities with fewer available water points, those with operational water management committees (which meet often, collect fees, and can name someone for maintenance), and those with financial savings were associated with higher functionality. As piped water system provision increases in line with international development goals, our results suggest that the benefits of providing higher levels of water service should be carefully considered alongside the technological, institutional, and financial investment required to operate and maintain more complex piped water systems in rural settings.…”
