AbstractThe mechanosensitive protein PIEZO has a function in root growth. However, the mechanisms underlying the effects ofPIEZOresponses to magnetic field (MF) remain elusive. Here, we report thatArabidopsis PIEZOgene regulation of root growth was responsive to MF and blue light. Mutation ofPIEZOresults in a shorter root length under MF treatment and blue light. Moreover, expression ofPIEZOin root tips was up-regulated by an unknown blue-light-induced signal, transferred from the leaves to the roots in the presence of a MF. Furthermore,PIEZOwas able to regulate calcium ion efflux and disturb auxin transport under MF and blue light. Interestingly, the blue light receptors CRY1 and 2 were necessary both for MF perception and regulation of root growth. Transcriptome analysis of thepiezo-clmutant grown in a MF and under blue light revealed that thePIEZOinvolved in regulation of root growth is also involved in indirect or direct interactions with gibberellin 4 (GA4), ethylene, calcium ion-related genes, mechanosensors and microRNA. Moreover, the expression ofmiR5648-5pconferred MF sensitivity and showed a way thatPIEZOcould be negatively regulated in a MF and blue light. Our data reveal the mechanism ofPIEZOresponds to MF and blue light to regulate root growth, in which converges different pathways, involving phytohormones, mechanosensors, calcium ions and blue light, as key components.One-Sentence Summary:PIEZO perceives magnetic fields and blue light to regulateArabidopsisroot growth

SummaryKidney size is sex-dimorphic and regulated by androgens in adult humans and mice. However, the effects of developmental androgen deficiency on kidneys remain elusive. We hypothesized that androgens program future kidney growth during a fetal development. Male mice lacking main testosterone-producing enzyme HSD17B3 had reduced testosterone at embryonic day 15.5, but the concentrations increased by E18.5, creating a short time window of androgen deficiency resulting in reduced kidney size in adult males. In male Hsd17b3-/-kidneys, nephron development was qualitatively normal, but number of glomeruli and proliferation of proximal tubules was reduced. Testosterone supplementation at E14.5-17.5 normalized the renal size in adult Hsd17b3-/-males. Our data suggests that androgen receptor and Hnf4a jointly regulate Igfbp5, FOXO1 and mTOR signaling to convey male-specific kidney growth. In conclusion, we have identified a novel developmental programming effect on male kidneys, where fetal androgen deficiency reduces kidney growth and androgen responsiveness in adult males.

Published: February 2025

AbstractAxons experience strong mechanical forces due to animal movement. While these forces serve as sensory cues in mechanosensory neurons, their impact on other neuron types remains poorly defined. Here, we uncover signaling that controls an axonal cytoskeletal response to external physiological forces and plays a key role in axonal integrity. Live imaging of microtubules at single-polymer resolution in aC. elegansmotor neuron reveals local oscillatory movements that fine-tune polymer positioning. Combining cell-specific chemogenetic silencing with targeted degradation alleles to distinguish neuron-intrinsic from extrinsic regulators of these movements, we find that they are driven by muscle contractions and require the mechanosensitive protein Talin, the small GTPase RhoA, and actomyosin activity in the axon. Genetic perturbation of the axon’s ability to buffer tension by disrupting the spectrin-based membrane-associated skeleton leads to RhoA hyperactivation, actomyosin relocalization to foci at microtubule ends, and converts local oscillations into processive bidirectional movements. This results in large gaps between microtubules, disrupting coverage of the axon and leading to its breakage and degeneration. Notably, hyperpolarizing muscle or degrading components of the mechanotransduction signaling pathway in the axon rescues cytoskeletal defects in spectrin-deficient axons. These results identify mechanisms of an axonal cytoskeletal response to physiological forces and highlight the importance of force-buffering and mechanotransduction signaling for axonal integrity.

Published: February 2025

PurposeActive supporters and the organisations they form are crucial stakeholders for football clubs. Previous literature has noted the increasing interest and positive outcomes associated with corporate social responsibility initiatives within sport organisations, which fans perceive and include employee wellbeing. Whilst scholars have explored various stakeholders’ perceptions of athlete wellbeing, an opportunity exists to understand how active supporters perceive athlete wellbeing programmes. Thus, the purpose of the current research was to explore the perceptions of A-League Men’s active supporters regarding an athlete wellbeing programme.Design/methodology/approachInformed by stakeholder theory, active supporters of the A-League provided their perceptions of the Player Development Programme (PDP) – the athlete wellbeing programme associated with professional football in Australia. Data were collected through open-ended questions within an online survey and analysed through inductive thematic analysis.FindingsThree themes were generated that answer the research question: impactful and beneficial; worthy of more attention and promotion and limited understanding. These themes underscore the positive impact of the wellbeing programme on both the club and its athletes whilst highlighting the necessity for increased programme visibility within the club and the broader community.Originality/valueThe current study’s findings contribute to the sport management literature by exploring active supporters’ perceptions of an athlete wellbeing programme in football. Since athlete wellbeing is essential for active supporters, including wellbeing initiatives within the club’s corporate social responsibility initiatives could produce positive marketing and sponsorship outcomes for clubs.
Exploring the causal relationships between factors affecting taxpayer adoption of e-invoicing: application of interval neutrosophic DEMATEL
Authors: Aliakbari Nouri Fahimeh , Shafiei Nikabadi Mohsen 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis study aims to identify the challenges faced by taxpayers in adopting electronic invoicing for value-added tax (VAT) collection and develop a framework for addressing these challenges based on their interrelationships within a developing country.Design/methodology/approachTo establish a practical framework, a comprehensive literature review was conducted. The extracted factors were then presented to a panel of experts for validation or modification. Subsequently, this study employed a multi-criteria model based on DEMATEL and interval neutrosophic value set (INVS) to assist decision-makers in evaluating taxpayer challenges and identifying their interdependencies. This research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining library research, expert interviews/consultations (qualitative) and a survey (quantitative).FindingsThe study suggests that taxpayer challenges can be categorized into six primary factors: distrust and security concerns, technical challenges, cost considerations, regulatory compliance challenges, cultural/demographic factors and lack of awareness. Key findings reveal that lack of awareness (X6) and cultural/demographic factors (X5) emerged as the most critical factors in terms of both importance and influence on other factors.Practical implicationsThis study offers a more realistic understanding of cause-and-effect relationships, ultimately leading to more informed decision-making regarding e-invoicing adoption. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, guiding them towards effective practical implications.Originality/valueThis study differentiates itself from previous research by not only prioritizing factors influencing taxpayer e-invoicing adoption but also by examining the causal relationships between these factors. Unlike prior studies, this research has delved into the interdependencies among the prerequisite variables of e-invoicing adoption for VAT in a developing country. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, no existing research has employed neutrosophic DEMATEL to address the uncertainty inherent in identifying the interrelationships among factors affecting e-invoicing adoption by taxpayers.

Abstract

Invasive plants often exhibit a competitive advantage over native species, posing a serious threat to them. Phytohormone signalling can regulate the entire process of invasive plant growth and defence in ways that have largely unexplored for invaders in competitive conditions.

Here, we planted an invasive species, Flaveria bidentis L., and three native species (Setaria viridis, Artemisia annua, and Xanthium sibiricum) as monocultures (two seedlings each) or mixtures (one F. bidentis with one native) in the greenhouse, then employed phytohormone metabolomics and transcriptomics to investigate the changes in hormone content and their gene expression patterns in F. bidentis during competitive processes with native plants.

Our results revealed that during competition processes with three native species, the levels of growth‐promoting hormones, auxin (indole‐3‐acetic acid) and gibberellins (GA3), significantly increased in F. bidentis. These hormone increases were accompanied by the key up‐regulation of genes in the auxin and gibberellin signalling pathways (e.g., ARF and GID1), which effectively spurred increases in plant height and biomass. Conversely, the levels of defence‐related hormones, jasmonic acid and salicylic acid were significantly reduced, along with the down‐regulation of genes in their signalling pathways, including COI1 and TGA. These decreases in defence‐related hormones and gene expression alleviated the antagonistic effects on growth‐promoting hormones, enabling F. bidentis to grow more rapidly and enhance its competitive advantage.

Synthesis and applications. Our findings reveal that trade‐offs between growth and defence hormone signalling pathways enhance the competitive advantage of invasive alien species over native ones. This insight into the invasive success of exotic species provides a foundation for developing targeted control strategies. By specifically regulating hormone signalling pathways, the competitiveness of invasive species could be dampened, thereby mitigating the threat to native ecosystems.
