Abstract In this study, yeast HOG1 homologue from the root endophyte Piriformospora indica (PiHOG1 ) was isolated and functionally characterized. Functional expression of PiHOG1 in S. cerevisiae ∆ hog1 mutant restored osmotolerance under high osmotic stress. Knockdown (KD) transformants generated by RNA interference P. showed that genes for HOG pathway, osmoresponse salinity tolerance were less stimulated KD -PiHOG1 compared to wild-type Furthermore, lines are impaired colonization rice...
A deficiency of the essential macronutrient sulfur leads to stunted plant growth and yield loss; however, an association with a symbiotic fungus can greatly improve nutrient uptake by host plant. Here, we identified functionally characterized high-affinity sulfate transporter from endophytic Serendipita indica. SiSulT fulfills all criteria expected functional responding limitation: expression was induced when S. indica grown under low-sulfate conditions, heterologous complemented yeast...
Piriformospora indica, a root endophytic fungus, promotes growth of the economically important chickpea plant (Cicer arietinum Linn.) and protects it against pathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea. Biomass development were found to be significantly improved in plants colonized with P. indica as compared grown without well from infected B. Our PCR analyses showed that gradual increase colonization result inhibition increased antioxidant enzyme activities. Interestingly, there pronounced decrease...
Magnesium (Mg) is a crucial macronutrient required for the regular growth of plants. Here we report identification, isolation and functional characterization Mg-transporter PiMgT1 in root endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica. We also role P. indica improvement Mg nutrition plant particularly under deficiency condition. Protein BLAST (BLASTp) conserved domains analysis showed that belong to CorA like protein family bacteria. have observed presence 'GMN' signature sequence which suggests...
Iron (Fe) is a micronutrient required for plant growth and development; however, most Fe forms in soil are not readily available to plants, resulting low contents plants and, thereby, causing deficiency humans. Biofortification through plant-fungal co-cultivation might be sustainable approach increase crop contents. Therefore, we aimed examine the role of Piriformospora indica transporter on rice uptake under conditions. A high-affinity (PiFTR) from P. was identified functionally...
Brain tumor classification is a crucial task in medical image analysis due to the complexity of neurological system. With rapid advancements deep learning techniques, particularly imaging, there growing potential enhance accuracy and efficiency brain diagnosis using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This paper proposes an optimized low-computation model built on backbone MobileNetv2 convolutional neural network architecture classify tumors into three categories: glioma, meningioma, pituitary...
Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental with strong genetic component. This research aims to identify key genes associated autism using hybrid deep learning approach. To achieve this, protein–protein interaction network constructedand analyzed through graph convolutional network, which extracts features based on gene interactions. Logistic regression then employed predict potential regulatorgenes probability scores derived from these features. evaluate the...
Phosphate is an indispensable metabolite in a wide variety of cells and involved nucleotide lipid synthesis, signaling, chemical energy storage. Proton-coupled phosphate transporters within the major facilitator family are crucial for uptake plants fungi. Similar proton-coupled have been found different protozoan parasites that cause human diseases, breast cancer with elevated demand, osteoclast-like during bone reabsorption, intestinal Caco2BBE homeostasis. However, mechanism proton-driven...
Abstract Horsegram ( Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc.) is a drought hardy food and fodder legume of Indo-African continents with diverse germplasm sources demonstrating alternating mechanisms depicting contrasting adaptations to different climatic zones. Tissue specific expression genes contributes substantially location adaptations. Regulatory networks such adaptive are elucidated for downstream translational research. MicroRNA s small endogenous regulatory RNAs which alters the gene...
Wide hybridization between crop brassicas and their wild relatives is an important approach towards increasing the genetic variability, which can be utilised for brassica breeding programs. A new intergeneric hybrid Erucastrum cardaminoides Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra was produced using embryo rescue techniques. The F1 intermediate male female parent most of morphological characters. Cytological studies pollen mother cells revealed a preponderance univalents at metaphase I. number...
Zinc is a vital transition metal for all bacteria; however, elevated intracellular free Zn levels can result in mis-metalation of Mn-dependent enzymes. For Mn-centric bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae that primarily use Mn instead Fe an enzyme cofactor, particularly toxic at high concentrations. Here, we report our identification and characterization the function five homologous, CiaRH-regulated Ccn sRNAs controlling S. virulence homeostasis. We show deletion ccn genes (ccnA, ccnB,...
ABSTRACT Sulfur is an important macronutrient required for the growth, development of plants and a key component many metabolic pathways. We have functionally characterized high-affinity sulphate transporter ( PiSulT ) from endophytic fungus Serendipita indica . The belongs to major facilitator superfamily (MFS) membrane transporter. complements yeast mutant HK14. transporter, having Km 15μM. found enhanced expression in external fungal hyphae which helps acquisition soil. When knockdown...
Background: Pigeon pea is an important dietary protein source for humans but the production was constrained by various biotic and abiotic factors. Breeding strategies were followed to improve yield developing high yielding varieties at same time utilization of genetic resources have declined. native India with huge natural variability in local germplasm its wild relatives. So it necessary identify select breeding material from considerable morphological utilize programmes. As initial study,...
The fertilizers that are derived from seaweed known as Seaweed Liquid Fertilizers (SLF). SLF is a modern, cheap, non-toxic, and natural bioactive fertilizer. Among different studied seaweeds, Ascophyllum nodosum significant having ingredients potentially regulate the molecular, physiological, biochemical processes of crop plants. In present study, effects application concentrations (0.00%, 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.50%, 1.00%) A. Extract (ANE) to Vigna aconitifolia through roots (Pot...
