Role of Genetics in Improving Fitness and Sports Performance
Abstract: Research indicates that variations in specific genes affects sports performance, comparing athletes with nonathletes. The genes that have been examined the most in relation to athletic performance are ACE and ACTN3. Strength and endurance have been associated with these genes, which also affect the type of fiber that makes up muscles. Sports performance factors primarily affected by genes are intrinsic motivation to exercise, power and endurance potential, training response to …

Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Phytohormones: Bridging Plant Immunity and Human Health
Abstract: This review highlights the multifaceted roles of phytohormones, including salicylic acid, abscisic acid, cytokinins, and brassinosteroids, emphasizing their contributions to plant immunity and potential therapeutic applications in human health. Phytohormones are critical regulators of plant growth, development, and defense, functioning as signaling molecules that activate and coordinate plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Salicylic acid, in particular, is instrumental in systemic acquired resistance (SAR), a defense mechanism that strengthens …
