TL;DR: OsbZIP16 regulates abiotic stress responses and is a good candidate gene that can be utilised to impart tolerance in plants under water deficit conditions and is functionally characterized.

TL;DR: The presence of blue- light-responsive phosphopolypeptides in both the coleoptile sheath and the leaf encased inside, and the kinetics of induction of this response indicate that the phosphorylation of plasma membrane proteins may be one of the early steps in blue-light-elicited signal transduction chain, associated not only with phototropism but perhaps also with low-fluence blue responses in general.

TL;DR: Sphingobium chinhatense strain IP26T is a conducive hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) degrader isolated from a heavily contaminated HCH dumpsite and degrades α-, β-, γ-, and δ-HCH, which are highly persistent in the environment.

TL;DR: In this partially purified sample, a compound has been identified, using a highly sensitive HPLC-fluorometric detection method, with chromatographic properties and substrate specificity for cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase similar to authentic 3',5'-cyclic AMP.

TL;DR: It is shown that AbBphP1 is a photochromic bacteriophytochrome and is involved in inducing a cellular response that enables A. brasilense in regenerating proteins that might be damaged due to photodynamic stress.
