Plant-associated microbiota plays an important role in plant disease resistance. Bacterial wilt resistance of tomato is a function the quantitative trait plants; however, mechanism underlying unexplored. In this study, we hypothesized that rhizosphere affects plants against soil-borne bacterial caused by Ralstonia solanacearum. This hypothesis was tested using cultivar grown defined soil with various transplants. The wilt-resistant Hawaii 7996 exhibited marked suppression and induction...
Abstract The failure of breeding strategies has caused scientists to shift other means where the new approach involves exploring microbiome modulate plant defense mechanisms against Cotton Leaf Curl Disease (CLCuD). cotton CLCuD-resistant varieties may harbor a multitude bacterial genera that significantly contribute disease resistance and provide information on metabolic pathways differ between susceptible resistant varieties. current study explores CLCuD-susceptible Gossypium hirsutum...
Given that about 40% of the total food produced globally is lost or wasted, there an urgent need to understand what, where, why and how much waste generated. In this study, we collected much-needed primary empirical data from restaurants, hotels caterers Lahore, Pakistan through surveys live tracking/diaries. Specifically, two key performance indicators, per customer (g) percentage day (%), were measured. Waste was found be 79.9 g (survey) 73.4 (live tracking) for 138.4 140.0 caterers....
Plant phenotype is affected by a community of associated microorganisms which requires dissection the functional fraction. In this study, we aimed to culture functionally active fraction an upland soil microbiome, can suppress tomato bacterial wilt. The microbiome (MF) from rhizosphere Hawaii 7996 treated with or forest MF was successively cultured in designed modified M9 (MM9) medium partially mimicking nutrient composition root exudates. Bacterial cells were harvested amplify V3 and V4...
The substantial use of triclosan (TCS) has been aimed to kill pathogenic bacteria, but TCS resistance seems be prevalent in microbial species and limited knowledge exists about determinants a majority bacteria. We evaluate the distribution major bacteria (N = 231) assess enrichment potentially genera contaminated environments. A TCS-resistant gene (TRG) database was constructed experimentally validated predict Genome-wide silico analysis performed define pathogens. Microbiome soil samples...
Enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductases (ENR), such as FabI, FabL, FabK, and FabV, catalyze the last reduction step in bacterial type II fatty acid biosynthesis. Previously, we reported metagenome-derived ENR homologs resistant to triclosan (TCL) highly similar 7-α hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (7-AHSDH).
Accurate and rapid detection of bacterial plant pathogen is the first step toward disease management prevention spread. Bacterial pathogens Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. nebraskensis (Cmn), Pantoea stewartii (Pss), Rathayibacter tritici (Rt) cause Goss's wilt blight maize, Stewart's maize spike wheat barley, respectively. The diseases are not globally distributed present in Korea. This study adopted comparative genomics approach aimed to develop specific primer pairs detect these three...

Bumblebees are crucial for both natural ecosystems and agriculture, but their decline in distribution abundance over the past decade is alarming. The global importance of bumblebees agricultural food production cannot be overstated. However, reported has led to a surge interest understanding addressing bumblebee population decline. Hence, we aimed detect disruptions gut microbiome male worker reared indoor outdoor assess potential resilience environmental stress. Using Illumina MiSeq...
Understanding the resident microbial communities and their above below ground interactions with plants will provide necessary information for crop disease protection stress management. In this study, we show how diversity of core microbiome varies susceptibility a crop. To test hypothesis, have focused on identifying species cotton leaf curl (CLCuD) susceptible Gossypium hirsutum CLCuD resistant arboreum under viral infestation. Derivation membership is challenging as it depends an occupancy...
Abstract Extremophiles, the microorganisms thriving in extreme environments, provide valuable resources for practicing novel biotechnological processes. Pakistan homes a wide spectrum of environments which harbor various biotechnologically significant microorganisms. This review gauges structural and functional bacterial diversity several emphasizing their potentials as source extremozymes, bioleaching, bioremediation, bioenergy production at regional level. Further, this highlights...
Pathogenic bacteria that cause infectious disease are operated by various virulence mechanisms. Hence, it is important to develop a reliable system for predicting bacterial virulent proteins aiming at discovering novel drug/vaccine and understanding mechanisms in pathogens. On the basis of features like amino acid dipeptide composition, it tried identify potential given biological protein sequence using statistical methods regression analysis, which is great use prediction strategies...
