Drought is one of the most severe limitations on productivity rainfed lowland and upland rice. To investigate initial response rice to drought stress, changes in protein expression were analyzed using a proteomic approach. Two-week-old seedlings exposed conditions from 2 6 days, proteins extracted leaf sheaths, separated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis stained with Coomassie brilliant blue. After stress for 10 increased abundance level decreased. The functional...
Identification of new sources salt tolerance is particularly important to develop crop varieties suitable for saline soils.We evaluated 129 Pakistani and 58 exotic wheat landraces/ cultivars grown in Hoagland's hydroponic nutrient solution, under control (tap water equivalent 10 mM salt) stress (200 NaCl) conditions.Forty-four genotypes were also tested 250 NaCl stress.High heritability positive correlations suggested that number tillers per plant, root length, fresh dry weights, shoot...
Root growth angle (RGA) in response to gravity controlled by auxin is a pertinent target trait for obtainment of higher yield cereals. But molecular basis this root architecture remain obscure wheat and barley. We selected four cultivars two each barley unveil the genetic mechanism Deeper Rooting 1-like gene which controls RGA rice leading under drought imposition. Morphological analyses revealed deeper vertically oriented "NARC 2009" variety than "Galaxy" other "Scarlet" "ISR42-8". Three...
Optimum soil water availability is vital for maximum yield production in rice which challenged by increasing spells of drought. The reproductive stage drought among the main limiting factors leading to drastic reduction grain yield. objective this study was investigate molecular and morphophysiological responses pre-anthesis stress green super rice. assessed performance 26 lines under irrigated conditions. Irrigated treatment allowed grow normally, while imposed 30 days at stage. Three...
Identifying adopted Green Super Rice (GSR) under different agro-ecological locations in Pakistan is crucial to sustaining the high productivity of rice. For this purpose, multi-location trials GSR were conducted evaluate magnitude genetic variability, heritability, and stability eight Pakistan. The experimental trial was laid out a randomized complete block (RCB) design with three replications at each location. combined analysis variance (ANOVA) manifested significant variations for tested...
Neurodegenerative disorders, caused by progressive neuron loss, are a global health issue. Among the various factors implicated in their pathogenesis, dysregulation of acetylcholinesterase activity has been recognized as key contributor. Acetylcholinesterase breaks down neurotransmitter acetylcholine, important for neural transmission. Evaluating phyto-compounds from Bacopa monnieri Linn. through vitro and silico analysis may expand role alternative therapeutic agents modulating function...
Cold is a serious threat that limits the productivity of tomato as it cold-sensitive crop.The cold tolerant gene DREB1A plays crucial roles in survival plants under stress.We have developed stress transgenic by overexpression an Arabidopsis gene.They were obtained using EHA-105 strain Agrobacterium harboring pBIH binary vector contained controlled inducible promoter Lip9 and hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) plant selectable marker.Sequential 15 day old vitro seedlings, 48 h preculture...
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is an important legume and oilseed crop, native to South America grown in all tropical temperate regions of the world. A simplified rapid direct gene delivery system peanut was developed by vortexing silicon carbide whiskers with callus plasmid harboring chitinase hygromcin genes. The effects age whisker quantity on transformation efficiency were evaluated. Transformation (6.88%) highest when 200 mg used 5 µg for 2 g 20-day-old callus. Hygromcin-resistant calli...
