Nitrogen (N) losses are prevalent under South East Asia’s due to high N fertilizer inputs, but low use efficiency. This leaves a large quantity of reactive at risk loss the environment. Biochar has been found reduce across variety soil types, however, there is limited data available for semi-arid climates, particularly field-scale. Herein we present an exploration biological and chemical enhancement effects observed cotton stalk-based biochar on wheat growth yield arid field conditions. The...
Dehydration Responsive Element Binding (DREB) regulates the expression of numerous stress-responsive genes, and hence plays a pivotal role in abiotic stress responses tolerance plants. The study aimed to develop complete overview cis-acting regulatory elements (CAREs) present S. tuberosum DREB gene promoters. A total one hundred four (104) cis-regulatory (CREs) were identified from 2.5kbp upstream start codon (ATG). in-silico promoter analysis revealed variable sets cis-elements functional...
Modern breeding imposed selection for improved productivity that largely influenced the frequency of superior alleles underpinning traits interest. Therefore, molecular diagnosis allelic variations such genes is important to manipulate beneficial in wheat breeding. We analyzed a diversity panel consisted advanced lines derived from synthetic hexaploid wheats variation at 87 functional or loci importance using 124 high-throughput KASP markers. also developed two markers water-soluble carbohydrate (
Tomato is a drought-sensitive crop which has high susceptibility to adverse climatic changes. Dehydration-responsive element-binding (DREB) are significant plant transcription factors that have vital role in regulating abiotic stress tolerance by networking with DRE/CRT
GT-γ transcription factors, a subfamily known for their involvement in stress responses, remain uncharacterized Solanum tuberosum under drought stress. This study employed in-silico approaches and in-vitro expression profiling differential tissues to investigate StGTγ-1, StGTγ-2, StGTγ-3, StGTγ-4 potential role the potato's tolerance mechanisms. Analysis of cis-regulatory elements showed complex networks controlling response. Alpha helices were prevalent structures, possibly aiding protein...
Antimicrobial-resistant superbugs are rapidly spreading globally. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of these for which effective antibiotics urgently required. The development resistance against synthetic compounds has led to the study and utilization plant based antimicrobial options due a greater sensitivity phytochemcials obtained from them. Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), therapeutic, aromatic nutritionally important herb that grows worldwide number phytochemicals...
Abstract Plants require copper for normal growth and development have evolved an efficient system management based on transport proteins such as P 1B -ATPases, also known heavy metal ATPases ( HMA s). Here, we report HMAs in eleven different Poaceae species, including wheat. Furthermore, the possible role of wheat stress was investigated. BlastP searches identified 27 wheat, phylogenetic analysis Maximum Likelihood method demonstrated a separation into four distinct clades. Conserved motif...
Potato is an extremely important food crop due to its high nutritional and economic value; however, this suffers losses water-deficient conditions. The aim of the study was analyze expression profiles StDREB30 gene enzymatic antioxidant system transgenic potatoes under situations. results depicted that following drought 20% polyethylene glycol 6000 stresses, plants showed vigorous growth, increased activities, low malondialdehyde, enhanced differential in transgenics compared control plants....
Background The dehydration responsive element-binding (DREB) gene family plays a crucial role as transcription regulators and enhances plant tolerance to abiotic stresses. Although the DREB has been identified characterized in many plants, knowledge about it Solanum tuberosum (Potato) is limited. Results In present study, StDREB was comprehensively analyzed using bioinformatics approaches. We 66 genes through genome wide screening of Potato based on AP2 domain architecture amino acid...
Drought is one of the hostile environmental stresses that limit yield production crop plants by modulating their growth and development. Peanut ( Arachis hypogaea ) has a wide range adaptations to arid semi-arid climates, but its prone loss due drought. Other than beneficial fatty acids micronutrients, peanut harbors various bioactive compounds including flavonoids hold prominent position as antioxidants in protect them from oxidative stress. In this study, understanding biosynthesis under...
Stilbene synthase is an important enzyme of the phenylpropanoid pathway, regulating production several biologically active stilbenoids. These compounds have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. However, detailed characterization stilbene genes in Arachis hypogaea has not yet been performed. In this study, comprehensive A. was conducted, commencing with identification, phylogenetic analysis, study their expression response to exogenous hormonal treatment. We identified...
Abstract Inducing tolerance against drought stress with plant growth regulator and nutrients is vital for ensuring food security sustainable crop production. The present study was undertaken to assess the influence of salicylic acid (SA) either seed primed or foliar application (1.1, 2.2, 0.7 1.4 mM SA) coupled potassium (K) fertilisation (0, 50 100 kg/ha) on wheat yield uptake under (100% field capacity [FC], 60% FC, 30% FC) at tillering stage. Findings revealed that substantially reduced...
The CRISPR-Cas9 system has recently evolved as a powerful mutagenic tool for targeted genome editing. impeccable functioning of the depends on optimal design single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) that mainly involves sgRNA specificity and on-target cleavage efficacy. Several research groups have designed algorithms models, trained mammalian genomes, predicting sgRNAs These models are also implemented in most plant tools due to lack efficacy studies plants. However, one major drawbacks is almost all...
Characterization of genomic regions underlying adaptation landraces can reveal a quantitative genetics framework for local wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) adaptability. A collection 512 from the eastern edge Fertile Crescent in Iran and Pakistan were genotyped using genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism markers generated by genotyping-by-sequencing. The minor allele frequency (MAF) heterozygosity (H) Pakistani (MAF = 0.19, H 0.008) slightly higher than Iranian 0.17, 0.005), indicating that...
Abstract It is important to understand the genetic gain achieved through selection of key yield traits for planning future breeding strategies in developing high yielding wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars. The aim this study was characterize changes and genotype × environment (G×E) interaction by additive main effect multiplicative interactions (AMMI) morphological, physiological, component under five environments using 24 cultivars released from 1911 2016 Pakistan. There a significant...
Abstract Drought stress ‘particularly at seedling stage’ causes morpho-physiological differences in wheat which are crucial for its survival and adaptability. In the present study, 209 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from synthetic (W7984)× ‘Opata’ (also known as SynOpRIL) population were investigated under well-watered water-limited conditions to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) morphological traits stage. Analysis of variance revealed significant ( P < 0.01) among RILs, water...
Diversification patterns in the Himalayas have been important to our understanding of global biodiversity. Despite recent broad-scale studies, most diverse angiosperm genus temperate zone-Carex L.
