Identification and profiling of salinity stress-responsive proteins in Sorghum bicolor seedlings
Sorghum bicolor, a drought tolerant cereal crop, is not only an important food source in the
semi arid/arid regions but also a potential model for studying and gaining a better
understanding of the molecular mechanisms of drought and salt stress tolerance in cereals.
In this study, seeds of a sweet sorghumvariety, MN1618, were planted and grown on solid MS
growth medium with or without 100mM NaCl. Heat shock protein expression immunoblotting
assays demonstrated that this salt treatment induced stress within natural physiological
parameters for our experimental material. 2D PAGE in combination with MS/MS proteomics
techniques were used to separate, visualise and identify salinity stress responsive proteins in
young sorghum leaves. Out of 281 Coomassie stainable spots, 118 showed statistically
significant responses (p<0.05) to salt stress treatments. Of the 118 spots, 79 were selected for
tandem mass spectrometric identification, owing to their good resolution and abundance
levels, and of these, 55 were positively identified. Identified proteins were divided into six
functional categories including both known and novel/putative stress responsive proteins.
Molecular and physiological functions of some of our proteins of interest are currently under
investigation via bioinformatic and molecular biology approaches.Web of Scienc

Aberrant Modulation of Brain Oscillatory Activity and Attentional Impairment in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Electroencephalography and magnetoencephalography are noninvasive neuroimaging techniques that have been used extensively to study various resting-state and cognitive processes in the brain. The purpose of this review is to highlight a number of recent studies that have investigated the alpha band (8-12 Hz) oscillatory activity present in magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography, to provide new insights into the maladaptive network activity underlying attentional impairments in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Studies reviewed demonstrate that event-related decrease in alpha is attenuated during visual selective attention, primarily in ADHD inattentive type, and is often significantly associated with accuracy and reaction time during task performance. Furthermore, aberrant modulation of alpha activity has been reported across development and may have abnormal or atypical lateralization patterns in ADHD. Modulations in the alpha band thus represent a robust, relatively unexplored putative biomarker of attentional impairment and a strong prospect for future studies aimed at examining underlying neural mechanisms and treatment response among individuals with ADHD. Potential limitations of its use as a diagnostic biomarker and directions for future research are discussed
