Trehalose (Tre) is a non-reducing disaccharide found in many species, including bacteria, fungi, invertebrates, yeast, and even plants, where it acts as an osmoprotectant, energy source, or protein/membrane protector. Despite relatively small amounts Tre concentrations increase following exposure to abiotic stressors. Trehalose-6-phosphate, precursor of Tre, has regulatory functions sugar metabolism, crop production, stress tolerance. Among the various stresses, temperature extremes (heat...
Plant glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) are the main enzymes in antioxidant defense system that sustain H2O2 homeostasis and normalize plant reaction to abiotic stress conditions. To understand major roles of GPX gene family rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), for first time, a genome-wide study identified 25 BnGPX genes genome. The phylogenetic analysis discovered were grouped into four groups (Group I–Group IV) from three closely interrelated species. universal investigation uncovered BnGPXs...
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...
Stripe rust caused by the pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) is a major threat for wheat, resulting in low yield and grain quality loss many countries. Genetic resistance prevalent method to combat disease. Mapping resistant loci their association with traits highly exploited this era. A panel of 465 Pakistani spring wheat genotypes were evaluated phenotypic response stripe at seedling adult plant stages. total 765 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers applied on...
Genetic diversity estimation among different species is an important tool for genetic improvement to maximize the yield, desirable quality, wider adaptation, pest and insect resistance that ultimately boosting traditional plant breeding methods. The most efficient way of application molecular markers. In this study, twenty random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers were utilized estimate between ten sunflower genotypes. Overall 227 bands by 20 with average 11.35 per primer. RAPD data...
Spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most imperative staple food crops, with an annual production 765 million tons globally to feed ∼40% world population. Genetic diversity in available germplasm crucial for sustainable improvement ensure global security. A panel 184 Pakistani accessions was genotyped using 123,596 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers generated by genotyping-by-sequencing 42% SNPs mapped on B, 36% A, and 22% D sub-genomes wheat. Chromosome...
Arsenic is the most prevalent and common environmental contaminant, found in drinking water with varying concentrations. Inorganic arsenic involved generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The aim present study was to determine activities antioxidant enzymes liver mice, changes exposure whether it associated induction oxidative stress. Furthermore, we intended swimming exercise can modulate vivo rendering protection mice during exposure. Mouse model established, were administrated two...
Stripe rust is among the most destructive foliar diseases affecting wheat globally. The identification of novel adult plant resistance loci represents a critical strategy for mitigating substantial yield losses attributed to stripe across diverse regions worldwide. Wheat landraces possess untapped genetic resources abiotic and biotic stresses including like rust. This study was conducted identify basis response in bread landrace BWLR-2347 conserved at ICARDA gene bank. mapping population 178...
In the present investigation, five microsatellite (SSR) markers namely RM-2,RM-27,RM-72, RM-107 and RM-154 were used to estimate genetic diversity of eight indica rice cultivars significant for breeding programme in temperate Kashmir Province India. The SSR primers used, specific different chromosomes, revealed distinct polymorphism among studied indicating robust nature micro satellite revealing polymorphism. Twenty-three (23) alleles scored all across genotypes with a mean value 4.6. A...
Abstract Mutation is a resource of generating genetic diversity in crop plant for breeding as well analysis. Ethyl Methane Sulphonate (EMS) frequently applied chemical agents plants. The present study was completed to investigate the mutagenic effects different concentration EMS on yield contributing traits super basmati. seeds rice cultivar (Super basmati) were mutagenized with doses from 0-2% v/v difference 0.25% determination LD50. treated and non-treated plants observed under agronomic...
Inorganic arsenic is a well-known toxicant and carcinogen.Millions of people in world are being affected by mainly through drinking water.Objectives: To evaluate toxic effects sodium arsenate (Na3 AsO4) assess protective role garlic (Allium sativum) minimizing its toxicological effects.Methodology: In this study, 20 pregnant female mice were divided into 4 groups.Group I (Control) was healthy control Group II (Dose group) orally administered with 50mg/kg Na3 AsO4 on the "Gestation day 6" for...
Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, is the most common rust disease of wheat. The fungus an obligate parasite capable producing infectious urediniospores. To study genetic structure leaf population 20 RAPD primers were evaluated on 15 isolates samples collected in Pakistan. A total 105 fragments amplified with average 7 per primer. number varied from 1 to 12. GL Decamer L-07 and L-01 highest bands (twelve) primer A-03 lowest i.e one. Results showed that almost all investigated...
A higher concentration of airborne micro-organisms and toxic trace metals in the air is a potential risk for human environmental health.Suspended dust microbes are main inducers respiratory symptoms.This study aimed to estimate characterize microflora heavy metal contaminants car cabin filters (CAFs) Lahore, Pakistan.Moreover, toxicological characterization was done using relevant cell culture Human Lung Alveolar Epithelial Cells A-549 through MTT assay.Culturable bacteria fungi populations...
