The Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak originating in Wuhan, China, has raised global health concerns and the pandemic now been reported on all inhabited continents. Hitherto, no antiviral drug is available to combat this viral outbreak.Keeping mind urgency of situation, current study was designed devise new strategies for discovery and/or repositioning against SARS-CoV-2. In study, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), which regulates replication,...
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) accounts for 90% of cases worldwide. The majority T2DM patients are obese. Dysbiosis in the gut microflora is strongly associated with pathogenesis obesity and T2DM; however, microbiome obese-T2DM individuals Pakistani population remains unexplored. microbiota signature 60 adults was studied using 16S rRNA sequencing targeting V3–V4 hypervariable regions. sequence analysis revealed that bacteria from Firmicutes were predominant along those Clostridia...
Eucalyptus is well reputed for its use as medicinal plant around the globe. The present study was planned to evaluate chemical composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of essential oils (EOs) extracted from seven species frequently found in South East Asia (Pakistan). EOs citriodora, melanophloia, crebra, tereticornis, globulus, camaldulensis microtheca were leaves through hydrodistillation. composition determined GC-MS-FID analysis. revealed presence 31 compounds E. citriodora 27...
Abstract In view of enhanced bioactivity and photocatalytic applications, the doped material has gained much attention present study was focused on preparation Zn WO 3 (Zn–d–WO ) via precipitation method. The prepared Zn–d–WO characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive (EDX). effect concentration studied antibacterial, antifungal activities along with structural morphological variation. triclinic, spherical rod shaped particle size...
An activation-tagging methodology was applied to dedifferentiated calli of Arabidopsis identify new genes involved in salt tolerance. This identified tolerant callus 8 (stc8) as a gene encoding the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor bHLH106. bHLH106-knockout (KO) lines were more sensitive NaCl, KCl, LiCl, ABA, and low temperatures than wild-type. Back-transformation KO line rescued its phenotype, over-expression (OX) bHLH106 differentiated plants exhibited tolerance NaCl. Green...
Advances in genome editing technologies have tremendous potential to address the limitations of classical resistance breeding. CRISPR-Cas9 based gene has been applied successfully plants tolerate virus infections. In this study, we tested system counteract cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) caused by whitefly transmitted viruses (CLCuVs). We also analyzed ability CLCuV escape Cas9 endonuclease activity. Targeting overlapping genes most prevalent CLCuVs with three gRNAs resulted interference,...
Considerable controversy exists among researchers over the behavior of glaciers in Upper Indus Basin (UIB) with regard to climate change. Glacier monitoring studies using Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing techniques have given rise contradictory results for various reasons. This uncertain situation deserves a thorough examination statistical trends temperature streamflow at several gauging stations, rather than relying solely on projections. Planning equitable...
Abstract The potential of an economically cheap raw material (rice husk) was evaluated in the present study to remove dyes including reactive yellow 15 (RY15) and red 241 (RR241) single multi-component systems. adsorbent modified functionalized chemically using glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, sulfur silane enhance removal efficiency pollutants. rice husk by scanning electron microscope (SEM) Fourier transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Batch adsorption showed that with graft (RHSi) had...
Acacia species are very important tree in tropical and subtropical countries of the World for their economic medicinal benefits. Precise identification is to distinguish invasive from rare however, it difficult differentiate based on morphological charcters. In addition, precise also wood charcterization forest industry as these declining due illegal logging deforestation. To overcome thsese limitations identification, DNA barcoding being used an efficient quick approach species. this study,...
In recent decades, Pakistan has suffered a decline in cotton production due to several factors, including insect pests, leaf curl disease (CLCuD), and multiple abiotic stresses. CLCuD is highly damaging plant that seriously limits Pakistan. Recently, genome editing through CRISPR/Cas9 revolutionized biology, especially develop immunity plants against viral diseases. Here we demonstrate multiplex CRISPR/Cas-mediated using transient transformation N. benthamiana seedlings. The genomic...
Scarcity, high price and environmental footprints of water energy resources are well-recognized wicked issues in irrigated agriculture. Water principal inputs for agricultural production systems. Efficient use these is vital the productivity economic competitiveness agriculture as well sustainability. Modern irrigation application systems on one hand highly efficient, but other they require a input. This paper explores water–energy nexus modernization by presenting case study from large area...
Drosophila melanogaster being used as model organism is considered pest of homes, restaurants, and fruit markets. The damaged fruits are also reported to serve a carrier for various diseases. current study was designed evaluate the toxicity petroleum extract some weed plants, namely, Euphorbia prostrata, Parthenium hysterophorus, Fumaria indica, Chenopodium murale, Azadirachta against D. melanogaster. Mortality at 10, 20, 30% concentrations after 24 48 hours found comparatively low. E....
Abstract Five different weed plants viz. Convulvulus arvensis, Chenopodium murale, Tribulus terrestris, Trianthema portulacastrum , and Achyranthes aspera were investigated for their entomocidal genotoxic effects against Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes. High mortality was observed at 72 hours in a dose dependent manner. Among all the tested plants, A. found highly significant which showed 100% 250 ppm after with LC 50 of 87.46, 39.08 9.22 24, 48, respectively. In combination Bacillus...
