Auxin signaling is vital for plant growth and development, plays important role in apical dominance, tropic response, lateral root formation, vascular differentiation, embryo patterning shoot elongation. Response Factors (ARFs) are the transcription factors that regulate expression of auxin responsive genes. The ARF genes represented by a large multigene family plants. first draft full maize genome assembly has recently been released, however, to our knowledge, gene from (ZmARF genes) not...
It is crucial to increase agricultural yields fulfill the rising demand for food and security it provides a growing population. To protect human supplies outputs, disease management essential. Plant infections are silent enemy of economic crop production cross-border commerce goods, inflicting roughly 20–30% losses year. If accurately rapidly detected identified, this can be minimized, specialized treatment given. The current methods preventing plant diseases utterly dependent on...
Abiotic stress in plants is considered an important environmental constraint that ultimately reduces agricultural production. Nanotechnology advancing technology for improving plant growth and mitigating factors modern agriculture. Cerium oxide, a rare lanthanide Earth's crust, holds significant potential various industrial sectors. Research on engineered cerium oxide nanoparticles has been proven to play role promoting alleviating at lower dosage levels. The accumulation of benefits by...
In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants growing under normal conditions, DEHYDRATION-RESPONSIVE ELEMENT BINDING PROTEIN2A (DREB2A) is present at low levels because it ubiquitinated and destabilized by DREB2A INTERACTING PROTEIN1 (DRIP1) DRIP2 through 26S proteasome-mediated proteolysis. Drought stress counteracts the ubiquitination proteolysis of DREB2A, thus allowing accumulation sufficient amounts protein to activate downstream gene expression. The mechanisms leading drought...
The Asian soybean rust fungus, Phakopsora pachyrhizi, is an obligate biotrophic pathogen causing severe disease epidemics. Molecular mechanisms by which P. pachyrhizi and other fungi interact with their host plants are poorly understood. genomes of all encode many small, secreted cysteine-rich proteins (SSCRP). While these thought to function within the host, roles completely unknown. Here, we present characterization effector candidate 23 (PpEC23), a SSCRP that show suppress plant immunity....
Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were synthesized under ambient temperature by wet chemical method and evaluated their antibacterial activity the means of well diffusion method.In this study, we have analyzed effect NaBH 4 concentration on synthesis CuNPs.Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was occurred at 575 nm.Scanning electron microscopy micrographs shows CuNPs spherical morphology with size range 20-40 nm.Dynamic light scattering (DLS) showed particles increases reducing agent .As prepared,...
An effective silver (Ag) -modified zeolitic imidazolate frameworks- ZIF-8 derived heterostructure (Ag/ZnO/C) was prepared using the facile room temperature wet chemical method for reduction of Ciprofloxacin under visible light irradiation. The synthesized Ag/ZnO/C microstructure characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission (TEM) analysis. X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), TEM morphological analysis confirmed existence metallic...
Phosphorus (P) is a vital nutrient for plant growth and development, absorbed in cells with the help of membrane-spanning inorganic phosphate transporter (Pht) protein. Symbiosis arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) also helps transporting P from soil to Pht proteins play an important role it. To understand this phenomenon Finger Mille plant, we have cloned four genes millet, which shares homology Pht1 protein family cereals. Expression pattern analysis during AM infection indicated that EcPT4 gene...
The present study reports the synthesis of antibacterial biodegradable nanocomposite film poly (vinyl alcohol)-biogenic silver. biosynthesized silver nanoparticles were used for development film. Ficus benghalensis leaf extract was to synthesize which are cost effective, environmental friendly and rapid method. PVA-biogenic characterized by AFM determine morphology surface confirm incorporation nanoparticles. activity investigated against Salmonella typhimurium means disk diffusion shows...
The present study reports a novel, facile, biosynthesis route for the synthesis of carbon nanodots (CDs) with an approximate quantum yield 38.5%, using Musk melon extract as naturally derived-precursor material. CDs was established by ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy, Dynamic light scattering, photoluminescence X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. as-prepared possess eminent fluorescence under UV–light (λ ex = 365...
False smut caused by Ustilaginoidea virens is an important rice fungal disease that significantly decreases its production. In the recent past, conventional methods have been developed for detection time-consuming and need high-cost equipments. The research development in nanotechnology made it possible to assemble efficient recognition interfaces biosensors. this study, we present a simple, sensitive, selective oxidized graphene-based geno-biosensor of false smut. biosensor has using probe...
