    Abstract The aim was to identify subgenome-related specific responses in two types of triticale, that is, of the wheat-dominated genome (WDG) and rye-dominated genome (RDG), to water stress induced in the early phase (tillering) of plant growth. Higher activity of the primary metabolism of carbohydrates is a feature of the WDG type, while the dominance of the rye genome is associated with a higher activity of the secondary metabolism of phenolic compounds in the RDG type. The study analyzed carbohydrates and key enzymes of their synthesis, free phenolic compounds and carbohydrate-related components of the cell wall, monolignols, and shikimic acid (ShA), which is a key link between the primary and secondary metabolism of phenolic compounds. Under water stress, dominance of the wheat genome in the WDG type was manifested by an increased accumulation of the large subunit of Rubisco and sucrose phosphate synthase and a higher content of raffinose and stachyose compared with the RDG type. In dehydrated RDG plants, higher activity of L-phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and L-tyrosine ammonia lyase (TAL), as well as a higher level of ShA, free and cell wall-bound p-hydroxybenzoic acid, free homovanillic acid, free sinapic acid, and cell wall-bound syringic acid can be considered biochemical indicators of the dominance of the rye genome.

    Abstract Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are the two most common hematologic malignancies, challenging to treat and associated with high recurrence and mortality rates. This work aims to identify specific Raman biomarkers of ALL cells with the KMT2A gene rearrangement (KMT2A-r), representing a highly aggressive subtype of childhood leukemia with a poor prognosis. The proposed approach combines the sensitivity and specificity of Raman spectroscopy with machine learning and allows us to distinguish not only myelo- and lymphoblasts but also discriminate B-cell precursor (BCP) ALL with KMT2A-r from other blasts of BCP-ALL. We have found that KMT2A-r ALL cells fixed with 0.5% glutaraldehyde exhibit a unique spectroscopic profile that enables us to identify this subtype from other leukemias and normal cells. Therefore, a rapid and label-free method was developed to identify ALL blasts with KMT2A-r based on the ratio of the two Raman bands assigned to phenylalanine - 1040 and 1008 cm

    Abstract The purpose of the presented article is to evaluate the students' perception of the online teaching educational model as a part of the "Biochemistry with Elements of Chemistry" course conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic at the Faculty of Medicine of the Jagiellonian University Medical College. The first part of the article reflects upon the pandemic impact on the transition from the in-person (standard format) to a complete remote learning format. The next part is based on the responses of the students to a questionnaire and presents an analysis of the students' preferences and perceptions regarding synchronous and asynchronous teaching methods. Students answered questions about the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning programs. They indicated the most suitable learning mode in terms of gaining knowledge and enhancing their motivation to learn. They listed factors that facilitated remote learning as well as those which made it difficult and posed a challenge to adjust to the new system, in all types of classes, that is, lectures, seminars, and laboratories. The last part of this paper presents the results of the students' performance in the pandemic-enforced system and compares them with the results from the previous class of students from the past year, when teaching was conducted mainly in the standard format. The conclusions from the given analysis may enable beneficial changes for the "Biochemistry with Elements of Chemistry" course for remote teaching in the future. It may also provide valuable insights for such types of courses conducted at other Universities and promote deliberations to continuously improve learning outcomes.

    Abstract A series of 15 new derivatives of 6-acetyl-7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin containing a piperazine group were designed with the help of computational methods and were synthesized to study their affinity for the serotonin 5-HT 1A and 5-HT 2A receptors. Among them, 6-acetyl-7-{4-[4-(3-bromophenyl)piperazin-1-yl]butoxy}-4-methylchromen-2-one ( 4 ) and 6-acetyl-7-{4-[4-(2-chlorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl]butoxy}-4-methylchromen-2-one ( 7 ) exhibited excellent activity for 5-HT 1A receptors with Ki values 0.78 (0.4–1.4) nM and 0.57 (0.2–1.3) nM, respectively, comparable to the Ki values of 8-OH-DPAT (0.25 (0.097–0.66) nM). The equilibrium dissociation constant values of the tested compounds showed differential intrinsic activities of the agonist and antagonist modes.

    Abstract In the natural environment, plants are subjected to simultaneous or sequential presence of various abiotic and/or biotic stresses, including soil compaction and soil drought. The effects of these stresses tested separately are relatively well understood, but still little is known about their simultaneous effects on plants. Our research involved four single hybrids of maize differing in their degree of susceptibility to soil compaction and drought. We investigated the effects of low and high soil compaction under optimal irrigation (LI, HI) and under three‐week long soil drought (LD, HD), on the gas exchange (Pn, E, gS, Ci) and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (F₀, Fₘ, Fᵥ, Fᵥ/Fₘ), total leaf area (LA), leaf greening (SPAD), leaf water deficit (WD), leaf water potential (ψ) and membrane injury (MI). The plants experiencing high soil compaction (HI) showed a decrease in all parameters of gas exchange (Pn, E, gS, Ci), leaf area (LA), leaf greening (SPAD) and the maximal quantum efficiency of PSII (Fᵥ/Fₘ) in comparison with plants growing in non‐compacted soil (LI). An increase was observed in the other fluorescence parameters, i.e., F₀, Fₘ and Fᵥ and leaf WD, ψ and MI in HI vs. LI variants. In the plants exposed to drought (LD, HD), the changes in the measured traits were greater, especially for the sensitive hybrids P‐8400 and NS‐3023, than for the plants from LI treatment. A significant interaction between the degree of stress susceptibility and relative trait change was observed for practically all of the measured features. Moreover, in the short recovery period after the end of drought, the measured traits in LD and HD plants did not fully return to the control level, especially in the case of the sensitive hybrids (P‐8400 NS‐3023). The physiological reaction of maize hybrids to soil compaction and/or soil drought indicated the genetically determined variability of tolerance to those stresses. Significant correlation between RTC and stress susceptibility indexes (S‐SI) provided suitable criteria for the hybrid selection. Also, our results showed the plasticity and capability of maize hybrids to respond to environmental conditions.
