ABSTRACT Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV), a begomovirus, that causes severe curling, stunting, and reduced yield in tomato plants is consistently threatening its production worldwide. CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated genome editing has shown immense potential developing disease‐resistant crops. This study successfully focuses on designing precise efficient strategy for planta defence against ToLCNDV. Five key targets within the viral genome, essential replication pathogenicity, were selected....

An indigenous strain of Trichoderma viride produced high titers cellulase complex in solid-state bio-processing agro-industrial orange peel waste, which was used as the growth-supporting substrate. When conditions SSF medium containing 15 g (50% w/w moisture) inoculated with 5 mL inoculum were optimal, maximum productions endoglucanase (655 ± 5.5 U/mL), exoglucanase (412 4.3 and β-glucosidase (515 3.7 U/mL) recorded after 4 days incubation at pH 35 °C. The enzyme activity (endoglucanase)...

Green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles has attracted a great deal attention from scientific community due to its biocompatibility and environment friendly nature. In the present study, silver were biologically synthesized using leave extracts Litchi chinensis. Biosynthesized characterized their applications observed by different methodologies. Bio-reduction reaction was confirmed surface plasmon resonance at 417 nm through UV-VIS spectrophotometer. FTIR analysis revealed that amine groups...

Objective: To investigate the role of Mentha piperita silver nanoparticle-loaded carbopol gel for enhanced wound healing in a diabetic rat model. This research further aims to explore bioactive compounds derived from obtained high altitude. Method: Methanolic extracts (MP), spicata (MS) and longifolia (ML) were used synthesise nanoparticles (AgNP). AgNP synthesis was confirmed by ultraviolet–visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy...

Jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic (SA) are signaling molecules that play key roles in the regulation of metabolic processes, reproduction, defense against pathogens. The proteomics approach was used to identify proteins induced by JA SA tomato cultivars Roma Pant Bahr, which susceptible resistant bacterial wilt, respectively. Threonine deaminase leucine amino peptidase were upregulated, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase small chain downregulated time-course application JA....

Abstract Background Avian hepatitis E virus (aHEV) has been associated with hepatitis-splenomegaly syndrome (HSS) in chickens along asymptomatic subclinical infection many cases. So far, four genotypes have described, which cause chickens, specifically broiler breeders and layer chickens. In the present study, we isolated identified two novel aHEV strains from bile of Pakistan evincing clinical symptoms related to HSS. Methodology Histology liver spleen tissues was carried out observe...

Recombinant DNA technology enables us to produce proteins with desired properties and insubstantial amount for industrial applications. Endo-1, 4-β-glucanases (Egl) is one of the major enzyme involved in degradation cellulose, an important component plant cell wall. The present study was aimed at enhancing production endo-1, Bacillus halodurans Escherichia coli. A putative Egl gene Halodurans expressed E. coli by cloning pET 22b (+). On induction isopropyl-b-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside,...
