Maintenance of plant physiological functions under drought stress is normally considered a positive feature as it indicates sustained health and growth. This study was conducted to investigate whether growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) Bacillus subtilis HAS31 has potential maintain potato growth yield stress. We analyzed trends chlorophyll concentration, photosynthesis process, relative water content, osmolytes, antioxidants enzymes oxidative stress, rate, tuber aboveground biomass...
Developing countries like Pakistan are facing issues of environmental degradation. The use non-renewable energy consumptions for economic growth sets the ground degradation, and its consequences cannot be ignored. It is, therefore, necessary to identify such determinants, model nexus explore feedback effect that may play a constructive role in mitigating issues. This study aims probe robust between carbon emission, consumption, progress both bivariate multivariate models 1971–2019 Pakistan....
Abstract Phytoremediation is an ecofriendly technique to clean heavy metals from contaminated soil by the use of high biomass producing plant species. Chelators can help improve this biological increasing metal solubility. Therefore, a pot experiment was conducted determine effect chelators EDTA and citric acid (CA) in phytoremediation Ni using Brassica napus (canola). Two cultivars B. napus, Con-II (tolerant) Oscar (sensitive), were selected after screening exposed NiSO4 at 30 ppm time...
ABSTRACT Bacterial biofilm formation is a widespread phenomenon and complex process requiring set of genes facilitating the initial adhesion, maturation, production extracellular polymeric matrix subsequent dispersal bacteria. Most studies on Escherichia coli have investigated nonpathogenic E. K-12 strains. Due to extensive focus laboratory strains in most studies, there poor information regarding by pathogenic isolates. In this study, we genotypically phenotypically characterized 187 human...
The current research was performed to evaluate the effect of Bacillus megaterium MCR-8 on mitigation nickel (Ni) stress in Vinca rosea grown Ni-contaminated soil (50, 100, and 200 mg Ni kg-1 soil). treated plants exhibited reduced growth, biomass, gas exchange capacity, chlorophyll (Chl) content under stress. inoculated growing media relatively higher total soluble protein, proline contents. Similarly, bacterial inoculation improved activity antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase...
During the current study, effects of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (5 mmol/L) were observed on growth and mineral nutrients Daucus carota under lead (Pb) stress. The results demonstrated that Pb stress decreased photosynthetic rate D. plants. Furthermore, stressed plants showed uptake including Zn, Na, Fe, K, Ca, Mg, Cu. Similarly, enhanced electrolyte leakage (EL) malondialdehyde (MDA) content. However, detoxified ROS to mitigate improved Magnesium also escalated activity antioxidant...
Drought is one of the major environmental challenges constraining production agricultural crops, including carrot. Seed germination initial and most critical stage crop establishment, it very sensitive to drought stress because water scarcity affects enzymatic solubilization stored metabolites in seeds that provide energy for growth germinating embryo. Few studies evaluating effect on carrot seed more than a few cultivars grown under have been published. Therefore, present study was designed...
Abstract Organization of microtubule arrays requires spatio-temporal regulation the nucleator γ-tubulin ring complex (γTuRC) at organizing centers (MTOCs). MTOC-localized adapter proteins are thought to recruit and activate γTuRC, but molecular underpinnings remain obscure. Here we show that interphase centrosomes, rather than adapters, polymerase ch-TOG (also named chTOG or CKAP5) ultimately controls γTuRC recruitment activation. co-assembles with stimulate nucleation around centrioles. In...
The mitotic spindle contains many bundles of microtubules (MTs) including midzones and kinetochore fibers, but little is known about how bundled structures are formed. Here, we show that the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) purified from Escherichia coli undergoes liquid-liquid demixing in vitro. An emergent property resultant condensates to generate parallel MT when incubated with free tubulin GTP We demonstrate emerge CPC droplets protruding minus ends then grow into long tapered...
Pest outbreaks are among the major factors that affect agroecosystems, subsequently leading to excessive use of fertilizers and toxic pesticides, polluting environment causing serious health concerns. This indiscriminate conventional pest-controlling chemicals has led development pesticide resistance, affecting soil fertility. Ultimately, there is a need find alternative means manage pest situations. In this regard, nanotechnology emerged as novel technique with wide range applications in...
Gladiolus corms were grown in media contaminated with cadmium (Cd) (50 mg kg−1) and supplemented silicon (Si) potassium (K). The role of Si K for mitigation Cd toxicity was evaluated. Cd-induced stress generated significantly increased level oxidative markers including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), malondialdehyde (MDA) gladiolus. application improved the production protein proline treated plants. Moreover, plants exhibited an improvement activity antioxidant enzymes a reduction MDA, H2O2 uptake...
Heavy metal contaminated agricultural soils are one of the most important constraints for successful cultivation crops. The current research was conducted to evaluate role potassium (K) on plant growth and amelioration cadmium (Cd) stress in Gladiolus grandiflora under greenhouse conditions. G. corms were sown media with 0 (C), 50 (Cd50) 100 (Cd100) mg Cd kg−1 soil. plants growing Cd-contaminated exhibited reduced gas exchange attributes, chlorophyll (Chl) contents, vegetative reproductive...
Hierarchical connection (HC) is a very attractive mode for ± 800 kV line commutated converter based ultra high voltage direct current (LCC-UHVDC) system connected to different AC levels because of its ability reduce the scale factor transformer. Faults in HC-UHVDC can cause commutation failure (CF). In this paper, impact synchronous condenser (SC) mitigate CF analyzed. A 800KV along with built PSCAD/EMTDC. Transient performance analysis single and three phase ground faults investigated....
