Abstract The growth and productivity of maize are severely affected by soil salinity. crucial determinants for the future performance plants productive seed germination seedling establishment; however, both stages liable to For grain, is an economically significant crop sensitive abiotic stresses. However, little known about defense responses salinity-induced antioxidant oxidative stress in maize. In our work, commercially available variety Raka-Poshi was grown pots 30 days under greenhouse...
Abstract Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCOs) enzymes play an important role in plant growth and development by producing a wide array of apocarotenoids their derivatives. These compounds are vital for colouring flowers fruits synthesizing hormones such as abscisic acid strigolactones. Despite importance, the gene family responsible CCO sunflowers has not been identified. In this study, we identify genes sunflower to fill knowledge gap. Phylogenetic synteny analysis indicated that...
Citrus fruits, revered for their nutritional value, face significant threats from diseases like citrus canker, particularly impacting global cultivation, notably in Pakistan. This study delves into the critical role of NPR1 -like genes, true receptors salicylic acid (SA), defense mechanisms against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xcc). By conducting a comprehensive genome-wide analysis and phylogenetic study, evolutionary dynamics limon genes across diverse cultivars are elucidated....
Rice constitutes a foundational cereal and plays vital role in the culinary sector. However, detriments of abiotic stress on rice quality productivity are noteworthy. Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases ( CCO ) hold importance as they enable particular breakdown carotenoids significantly contribute towards growth response to rice. Due insufficient information regarding CCOs their potential stress, utilization stress-resistant genetic breeding remains limited. The current research identified 16...
Abstract YABBY gene family is a plant-specific transcription factor with DNA binding domain involved in various functions i.e. regulation of style, length flowers, and polarity development lateral organs flowering plants. Computational methods were utilized to identify members the family, Carrot ( Daucus carota ) ‘s genome as foundational reference. The structure genes, location chromosomes, protein motifs phylogenetic investigation, syntony transcriptomic analysis, miRNA targets analyzed...
The current study was conducted on the inhabitants living in area adjacent to Hudiara drain using bore water and vegetables drain. Toxic heavy metals badly affect human health because of industrial environmental contamination. Particularly hundreds millions individuals globally have faced consequences consuming food tainted with pollutants. Concentrations blood were elevated drainings Lahore city, Pakistan, due highly polluted effluents. determined effects high levels (Cd, Cu, Zn, Fe, Pb,...
Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) is a widely studied enzyme in plant biology due to its role connecting primary metabolism secondary phenylpropanoid metabolism, significantly influencing growth, development, and stress response. Although PAL genes have been extensively various species but their exploration cucumber has limited. This study successfully identified 11 CsPAL Cucumis sativus (cucumber). These were categorized based on conserved sequences revealing patterns through MEME analysis...
Chili pepper cultivation in the Indian subcontinent is severely affected by viral diseases, prompting need for environmentally friendly disease control methods. To achieve this, it essential to understand molecular mechanisms of resistance chili pepper. The NONEXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES 1 (
The Citrus clementina (citrus) plant produces various phytohormones due to the significant involvement of carotenoid cleavage oxygenase (CCO) gene family in its growth and development. CCO genes can be divided into two main categories: NCED (9-cis-epoxy dioxygenase), responsible for abscisic acid (ABA) production, CCD (carotenoid involved pigment strigolactone formation. To better understand roles positions CcCCO members relation these hormones, researchers analyzed clementine genome....
Nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related 1 (NPR1) is crucial for activating the plant immune system through signaling molecule salicylic acid (SA), which triggers systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in Arabidopsis . In this study, three putative genes associated with NPR1 from have been identified genome Theobroma cacao , namely, TcNPR1, TcNPR2 and TcNPR3 suggesting a functional diversification among gene entities. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that TcNPR1 branched alongside their orthologs,...

The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, poses a significant threat to maize, sorghum, and cotton crops, leading substantial economic losses of up 80% in severe infestations. Despite its impact, the characterization Cytochrome P450 (Cyp) genes, pivotal regulatory metabolic processes, remains unexplored. This study identifies investigates 33 Cyp-genes involved critical pathways. These include fatty acid metabolism, resistance mechanisms, hormone regulation affecting moulting...
In plants, the BAX inhibitor-1 (BI-1) gene plays a crucial part in controlling cell death under stress conditions. This mechanism of Programmed Cell Death (PCD) is genetically regulated and for elimination unwanted or damaged cells controlled manner, which essential normal development tissue maintenance. A study on cucumber identified characterized five BI-1 genes: CsBI1, CsBI2, CsBI3, CsBI4, CsBI5. These genes share conserved domains, indicating common evolutionary history function....
Plant-based biopesticides such as extracts of neem and eucalyptus are gaining increasing attention potential alternatives to synthetic pesticides due their reduced toxicity non-target species the environment.
