Abstract The organoleptic qualities of watermelon fruit are defined by the sugar and organic acid contents, which undergo considerable variations during development maturation. molecular mechanisms underlying these remain unclear. In this study, we used transcriptome profiles to investigate coexpression patterns gene networks associated with metabolism. We identified 3 networks/modules containing 2443 genes highly correlated sugars acids. Within modules, based on intramodular significance...
Green synthesis of nanomaterials is advancing due to its ease synthesis, inexpensiveness, nontoxicity and renewability. In the present study, an eco-friendly biogenic method was developed for green nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiONPs) using phytochemically rich Berberis balochistanica stem (BBS) extract. The BBS extract in phenolics, flavonoids berberine. These phytochemicals successfully reduced stabilised NiNO3 (green) into NiONPs (greenish-gray). BBS-NiONPs were confirmed by UV-visible...
Abstract In current report, nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiONPs) were synthesized using leaf extract of Berberis balochistanica (BB) an endemic medicinal plant. The BB leaves act as a strong reducing, stabilizing, and capping agent in the synthesis BB@NiONPs. Further, BB@NiONPs characterized Uv–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR), Energy dispersive (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), average size was calculated ~21.7 nm). Multiple...
Potassium use efficiency, a complex trait, directly impacts the yield potential of crop plants. Low potassium efficiency leads to high fertilizers, which is not only farmer unfriendly but also deteriorates environment. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are widely used dissect traits. However, most single-locus one-dimensional GWAS models do provide true information about traits that controlled by multiple loci. Here, both (MLM) and multi-locus (pLARmEB, FASTmrMLM, mrMLM, FASTmrEMMA)...
Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) with yellow flowers is an attractive ornamental landscape plant during the flowering period, and development of different petal colors has become a breeding objective. Although yellowish flower color common variant observed in field-grown oilseed rape, genetics behind this variation remains unclear. We obtained yellowish-white (ywf) mutant from Zhongshuang 9 (ZS9) by ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis (EMS) treatment. Compared ZS9, ywf exhibited lower carotenoid...
Chlorophyll biosynthesis and chloroplast development are crucial to photosynthesis plant growth, but their regulatory mechanism remains elusive in many crop species. We isolated a Brassica napus yellow-virescent leaf (yvl) mutant, which exhibited yellow-younger-leaf virescent-older-leaf with decreased chlorophyll accumulation delayed development. mapped yvl locus 70-kb interval between molecular markers yvl-O10 InDel-O6 on chromosome A03 BC2F2 population using whole genome re-sequencing...
Stripe or yellow rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici is a major threat to bread wheat production worldwide. The breakdown in resistance of certain genes and newly emerging aggressive races stripe rusts pose serious concerns all main growing areas the world. To identify new sources associated QTL for effective utilization future breeding programs an association mapping (AM) panel comprising 600 landraces collected from eight different countries conserved at ICARDA...
Pollen micromorphology is not only used to check the functional and structural evolution in plants but also solve taxonomic problem related classification of plants. Therefore, keeping view significance pollen traits, selected taxa subfamily Caesalpiniaceae was collected from different geographical regions Pakistan. The species were then analyzed under both light microscopy scanning electron techniques investigate importance micromorphological characters identification species. Great...
Abstract Cadmium (Cd) toxicity is a serious threat to future food security and health safety. To identify genetic factors contributing Cd uptake in wheat, we conducted genome‐wide association study with genotyping from 90K SNP array. A spring wheat diversity panel was planted under normal conditions stress (50 mg Cd/kg soil). The impact of on agronomic traits ranged reduction 16% plant height 93% grain iron content. Individual genotypes showed considerable variation for translocation...
An eco-friendly biogenic method for the synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiONPs) using phytochemically rich Berberis pachyacantha leaf extract (BPL) was established. To achieve this purpose, 80 mL BPL used as a suitable reducing and capping agent NiONPs. The BPL-based (BPL@NiONPs) confirmed different microscopic spectroscopic techniques: UV Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive (EDX), dynamic light scattering...
Abstract The trans-Golgi network (TGN) acts as a central platform for sorting and secreting various cargoes to the cell surface, thus being essential full execution of plant immunity. However, fine-tuned regulation TGN components in defense stress response has been not fully elucidated. Our study revealed that despite largely compromising penetration resistance, loss-of-function mutation component protein ECHIDNA (ECH) induced enhanced postinvasion resistance powdery mildew Arabidopsis...
Cotton (Gossypium) stands as a crucial economic crop, serving the primary source of natural fiber for textile sector. However, evolutionary mechanisms driving speciation within Gossypium genus remain unresolved. In this investigation, we leveraged 25 genomes and introduced four novel assemblies – G. harknessii (Ghar), Gossypioides (Ggos), trilobum (Gtri), klotzschianum (Gklo) to delve into history genus. Notably, encountered intricate phylogenies potentially stemming from introgression....
Purpose To examine the risk factors for Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission, mechanical ventilation and mortality in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study including 432 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 who were admitted to three medical centers Hubei province from January 1 st April 10 th 2020. Primary outcomes included ICU death occurring while or within 30 days. Results Of confirmed patients, 9.5% ICU, 27.3% required ventilation, 33.1% died. Total...
Excess Ni intake has harmful implications on human health, which include chronic bronchitis, reduced lung function, and cancer of nasal sinuses. Like other toxic metals, higher accumulation in grains leads to excess by humans when the contaminated are consumed as food. There is little information about genetic factors that regulate uptake plants. To investigate architecture leaf translocation grain, we performed a genome-wide association study with genotyping from 90 K array historical bread...

ABSTRACT Despite the economic importance of P utilization efficiency, information on genetic factors underlying this trait remains elusive. To address that, we performed a genome-wide association study in spring wheat diversity panel ranging from landraces to elite varieties. We evaluated phenotype variation for efficiency controlled conditions and genotype using 90K SNP array. Phenotype variables were transformed into smaller set uncorrelated principal components that captured most...
