Long-term conservation of 7.4 million ex situ seed accessions held in agricultural genebanks and botanic gardens worldwide is a challenging mission for human food security ecosystem services. Recent advances biology genomics may have opened new opportunities effective management germplasm under long-term storage. Here, we review the current development tools assessing ageing research genomics, with focus on exploring their potential as better monitoring ageing. Seed found to be associated...
amylose extender (ae−) starches characteristically have modified starch granule morphology resulting from amylopectin with reduced branch frequency and longer glucan chains in clusters, caused by the loss of activity major branching enzyme (SBE), which maize endosperm is SBEIIb. A recent study ae− lacking SBEIIb protein (termed ae1.1 herein) showed that novel protein–protein interactions between enzymes biosynthesis amyloplast could explain phenotype mutant. The present examined an allelic...
Noble metal dichalcogenides (NMDs) are two-dimensional (2D) layered materials that exhibit outstanding thickness-dependent tunable-bandgaps can be suitable for various optoelectronic applications.
Mapping fine scale spatial variations of soil properties is important for site specific agriculture. The current study explores the potentials remote sensing (RS) and geographical information system (GIS) techniques in studying variability surface attributes. Around 170 (0–30 cm) samples collected from soils Shorkot Tehsil, Punjab, Pakistan were analyzed texture organic matter (O.M.). A multivariate linear regression (MLR) analysis technique was employed to relate variables with spectral...
Abstract Here, van der Waals multi‐heterojunctions (PN, NP, PIN, and NPN) are fabricated by stacking of MoTe 2 , hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN), MoSe nanoflakes using a mechanical‐exfoliation technique where the dynamic rectification is examined. Low‐resistance metal contacts Al/Au Pt/Au applied to respectively, gate‐dependent rectifying behavior achieved, with ratio up 10 5 in PN devices. It found that performance device enhanced placing an interfacial layer h‐BN between two opposite layers...
Here, novel lateral PtSe<sub>2</sub> p–n junctions are fabricated based on the PtSe<sub>2</sub>/BN/graphene (Gr) van der Waals heterostructures upon illumination of visible light <italic>via</italic> optical excitation mid-gap point defects in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN).
Physical properties of resistant starch (RS) were examined in a range barley genotypes to determine the contribution and seed physical characteristics RS component. Thirty‐three studied, which varied significantly their RS, amylose, contents grain yield. From 33 genotypes, 13 exhibiting high selected for detailed physicochemical analysis starch. In high‐RS varieties, granule size number unimodal, compared with normal starches from reference genotype, showed bimodal distribution. Principal...
Summary We have identified a novel means to achieve substantially increased vegetative biomass and oilseed production in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana . Endogenous isoforms of starch branching enzyme ( SBE ) were substituted by either one endosperm‐expressed maize Zea mays L.) isozymes, Zm SBEI or SBEII b. Transformants compared with starch‐free background wild‐type plants. Each maize‐derived s restored biosynthesis but both morphology structure particles altered. Altered metabolism...
Mitochondria perform a principal role in eukaryotic cells. Mutations mtDNA can cause mitochondrial dysfunction and are frequently associated with various abnormalities during plant development. Extraction of mitochondria is the basic requirement for characterization mutations other molecular studies. However, currently available methods isolation either tissue specific or species specific. Extracted may contain substantial chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) nuclear (nDNA) its end use efficiency be...
Timely prediction of seed viability loss over long-term storage represents a challenge in management and conservation ex situ plant genetic resources. However, little attention has been paid to study the process deterioration ageing signals under storage. An attempt was made here investigate morphological molecular changes scutellum aleurone sections naturally or artificially aged wheat seeds using TUNEL assay DAPI staining. Twelve genotypes samples exposed (NA) accelerated (AA) were assayed...
Climatic conditions play a significant role in the development of citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri pv . ( Xcc ). Citrus is regarded as one major threats being faced industry growing countries world. factors exert impacts on growth stage, host susceptibility, succulence, vigor, survival, multiplication rate, pathogen dispersion, spore penetration and germination. Predicting climatic these traits could aid effective management strategies against disease. This study predicted...
In a search for useful seed aging signals as biomarkers viability prediction, we conducted an experiment using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining to analyze morphological molecular changes in naturally aged (NA) artificially (AA) flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) seeds. A total of 2546 sections were performed from 112 seeds 12 NA AA samples with variable germination rates. Analyzing 1384...
Abstract Polydactyly is a very common digit anomaly, having extra digits in hands and/or toes. Non‐syndromic polydactyly both autosomal dominant and recessive forms are caused by disease‐causing variants several genes, including GLI1 , GLI3 ZNF141 FAM92A IQCE KIAA0825 MIPOL1 STKLD1 PITX1 DACH1 . Whole exome sequencing (WES) followed bi‐directional Sanger was performed for the single affected individual (II‐1) of family to reveal disease causative variant/gene. 3D protein modeling structural...
Intron retention in transcripts and the presence of 5' 3' splice sites within these introns mediate alternate splicing, which is widely observed animals plants. Here, functional characterisation K(+) transporter, HvHKT2;1, with stably retained from barley (Hordeum vulgare) yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), transcript profiling transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) presented. Expression intron-retaining HvHKT2;1 cDNA (HvHKT2;1-i) trk1, trk2 strain defective uptake restored growth medium...
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is a high value crop owing to its nutrient rich profile, consisting of some the largest reserve proteins and oils among all plant crops. High yielding soybean variety seeds are great intrinsic as part strategies gain larger yield outputs over years. These often tend lose their viability corresponding storage period. The study primarily focused on understanding estimating impact conditions influence biochemical changes that leads deteriorating seed health....
Spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most imperative staple food crops, with an annual production 765 million tons globally to feed ∼40% world population. Genetic diversity in available germplasm crucial for sustainable improvement ensure global security. A panel 184 Pakistani accessions was genotyped using 123,596 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers generated by genotyping-by-sequencing 42% SNPs mapped on B, 36% A, and 22% D sub-genomes wheat. Chromosome...
Cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuV) disease is one of the major limiting factors in cotton production, particularly widely cultivated Gossypium hirsutum varieties that are susceptible to attack by this virus.
