Although thrips are globally important crop pests and vectors of viral disease, species identifications difficult because their small size inconspicuous morphological differences. Sequence variation in the mitochondrial COI-5' (DNA barcode) region has proven effective for identification many groups insect pests. We analyzed barcode sequence among 471 from various plant hosts north-central Pakistan. The Barcode Index Number (BIN) system assigned these sequences to 55 BINs, while Automatic Gap...
The Oleaceae family, encompassing key genera such as Fraxinus (ash trees), Olea (olives), Jasminum (jasmine), Syringa (lilac), and Forsythia, plays a crucial ecological economic role. Despite their importance, the evolutionary dynamics immune system adaptations of NLR (Nucleotide binding leucine-rich repeats) gene family remain largely unexplored. This study employs high-throughput comparative genomics to investigate evolution across family. genus is widely distributed both New Old Worlds,...
Although Pakistan has rich biodiversity, many groups are poorly known, particularly insects. To address this gap, we employed DNA barcoding to survey its insect diversity. Specimens obtained through diverse collecting methods at 1,858 sites across from 2010-2019 were examined for sequence variation in the 658 bp barcode region of cytochrome c oxidase 1 (COI) gene. Sequences nearly 49,000 specimens assigned 6,590 Barcode Index Numbers (BINs), a proxy species, and most (88%) also possessed...
Abstract Dahlia mosaic virus (DMV), an aphid‐transmitted caulimovirus in the family Caulimoviridae , is important pathogen of dahlia ( variabilis ). Development rapid, and sensitive diagnostic tools essential surveillance management DMV. A loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was developed for DMV detection. The LAMP targets reverse transcriptase region genome optimal at a temperature 60°C run time 60 min, detected through fluorescence detection by agarose gel electrophoresis....
Abstract Onion thrips (Thrips tabaci Lindeman, Thysanoptera: Thripidae) causes severe damage to many horticultural and agronomic crops worldwide. It also acts as a vector of several plant viruses. T. is key pest Allium cepa in the United States. However, there limited information available on genetic variation within between populations States its evolutionary parameters. In current study, 83 specimens were collected from A. 15 different locations comprising four states A total 92 mtCOI gene...
Whole genome duplication plays a significant role in plant evolution by providing raw materials that can be modified natural or artificial selection. Nucleotide binding site leucine rich repeat receptor (NLRs) like other gene families are clusters of genes created and their size reflects the number duplicated genes. NLR encode immune receptors facilitate identification effector compounds produced pathogen as part triggered immunity (ETI). The accurate characterization substantially...
Onion (Allium cepa L.) is an important vegetable crop in Pakistan. According to the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), Pakistan world's fifth largest onion producer. The area production 127.8 thousand hectares 1.7 million tons, respectively, with a yield of 13.8 tons per hectare during 2012. agro-ecological diversity country enables almost year round. Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV; family Bunyaviridae, genus Tospovirus), transmitted principally by Thrips tabaci, economically viral...
Iris yellow spot, caused by spot orthotospovirus (IYSV) (Genus: Orthotospovirus , Family: Tospoviridae ), is an important disease of Allium spp. The complete N gene sequences 142 IYSV isolates curated sequence data from GenBank were used to determine the genetic diversity and evolutionary pattern. In silico restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, codon-based maximum likelihood studies, differentiation flow within populations genotypes investigated. Bayesian phylogenetic...
Dahlia common mosaic virus (DCMV) was previously reported to infect only dahlias ( variabilis). However, DCMV identified for the first time in association with Silphium spp. The complete genome of cloned and sequenced from naturally occurring symptomatic silphium plants grown Kansas. two isolates showed over 98% sequence identity those dahlia D. variabilis endogenous pararetroviral (DvEPRS) also detected all 19 samples tested this study, suggesting that DvEPRS may exist as an integrated...
Within the family Fabaceae , genus Glycine is composed of two subgenera annuals (2n=40) and perennials. This life strategy transition may have differentially affected evolution various gene families. Its cultivated species G. max has high level susceptibility to major pathogens including viruses, bacteria fungi. Understanding nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat ( NLR ) genes in soybean paramount importance due their central role plant immunity potential improving disease resistance...
Whole genome duplication plays a significant role in plant evolution by providing raw materials that can be modified natural or artificial selection. Nucleotide binding site leucine rich repeat receptor (NLRs) like other gene families are clusters of genes created and their size reflects the number duplicated genes. The accurate identification characterization NLR substantially contributes to repertoire resistance improves production. ancestors Fabaceae family have underwent whole (WGD)...
Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, the most notorious insectpest of maize, has led to major crop losses globally. The experiment was conducted study impact three maize varieties on S. frugiperda populations and their assessment. results revealed that variety YH-1898 had highest germination rate, larval infestation, pupal density, number tassels, total grain yield, (84.06±2.14%), (15.41±0.61 larvae/plant), (12.44±0.93 tassels/plant) (9324.71±266.63 kg/acre) standard week-03 week-23,...
