The coronaviruses (CoVs) are enveloped viruses of animals and humans associated mostly with enteric respiratory diseases, such as the severe acute syndrome 10–20% all common colds. A subset CoVs uses cell surface aminopeptidase N (APN), a membrane-bound metalloprotease, entry receptor. In these viruses, envelope spike glycoprotein (S) mediates attachment virus particles to APN subsequent entry, which can be blocked by neutralizing antibodies. Here we describe crystal structures...
A peculiar bacterial growth was very often noticed in leaf-initiated tissue cultures of Sansevieria trifasciata, a succulent belonging to the Asparagaceae family. The isolate left trails some highly viscous material on walls suspension vessels or developed thick overlay semisolid media without adversities plant growth. FTIR identified this substance be an extracellular polysaccharide. Various morphological, biochemical tests, and molecular analyses using 16S rRNA, atpD, recA genes...
The commercial processing of various biomaterials extensively uses azo dyes (including reactive, direct, acidic, and basic dyes). These industrial applications produce wastewater containing a large volume solubilized dye hydrolyzed by-products. treatment such is primarily carried out by chemical and, to an extent, physical methods, which lack selectivity efficiency. Notably, the methods employ free radicals oxidizing agents that further increase waste non-biodegradable side-products....
In the scenario of global climate change, understanding how plants respond to drought is critical for developing future crops that face restricted water resources. This present study focuses on role WRKY transcription factors tolerance in tomato, Solanum lycopersicum L., which a significant vegetable crop. are group proteins regulate wild range growth and developmental processes such as seed germination dormancy stress response. These defined by presence DNA-binding domain, namely, domain....
Abstract Soil salinity is a major environmental stressor impacting global food production. Staple crops like wheat experience significant yield losses in saline environments. Bioprospecting for beneficial microbes associated with stress-resistant plants offers promising strategy sustainable agriculture. We isolated two novel endophytic bacteria, Bacillus cereus (ADJ1) and Priestia aryabhattai (ADJ6), from Agave desmettiana Jacobi. Both strains displayed potent plant growth-promoting (PGP)...
This study aimed to assess the effects of low-temperature stress on two tomato cultivars (S-22 and PKM-1) treated with 24-epibrassinolide (EBL) selenium (Se) by determining changes in proteomics profiles, growth biomarkers, biochemical parameters, physiological functions. The photosynthetic traits, activity nitrate reductase S-22 PKM-1 plants were markedly reduced exposure low temperatures. However, combined application EBL Se under different modes significantly enhanced aforementioned...
Abstract Cell surface aminopeptidase N (APN) is a membrane-bound ectoenzyme that hydrolyzes proteins and peptides regulates numerous cell functions. APN participates in tumor expansion motility, target for cancer therapies. Small drugs bind to the active site inhibit catalysis suppress growth. also major entry receptor coronavirus, which binds region distant from site. Three crystal structures we determined of human pig ectodomains defined dynamic conformation protein. These offered...
Euphorbiaceae is a highly diverse family of plants ranging from trees to ground-dwelling minute plants. Many these have multi-faceted attributes like ornamental, medicinal, industrial, and food-relevant values. In addition, they been regarded as keystone resources for investigating plant-specific resilience mechanisms that grant them the dexterity withstand harsh climates. present study, we isolated two co-culturable bacterial endophytes, EP1-AS EP1-BM, stem internodal segments prostate...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical global health challenge, jeopardizing the efficacy of infectious disease treatments and necessitating innovative solutions. The exploration plants, renowned for their wealth bioactive compounds, as sustainable sources antimicrobials is gaining momentum. Sansevieria, succulent plant genus, boasts ornamental, medicinal, pollution-remediating attributes owing to its phytochemical richness. Notably, specific species exhibit inherent antimicrobial...
Wheat (Triticum L.) is a strategically important agricultural crop because its quality and yield provide food security for the population. Biological fertilizers improve growth development of crops. Unlike chemical ones, they have no toxic effect on people environment. This research assessed positive extremophilic microorganisms isolated from coal dump soils Kemerovo Region (Russia) wheat.
 The study featured bacterial isolates Achromobacter denitrificans, Klebsiella oxytoca, Rhizobium...
Oldenlandia umbellata L., commonly known as 'chay root', belongs to the family Rubiaceae and is one of unexplored dye-yielding plants. The roots from this plant are sources red dye. Extraction protocol dye characterisation have not been completely studied so far in plant. Hence, article we used UV spectrophotometry, thin layer chromatography, GC-MS, high-performance liquid chromatography NMR identify five major colouring compounds, including 1,2,3-trimethoxyanthraquinone,...
