The single pass transmembrane protein CD33 is enriched in phagocytic and hematopoietic cell types, such as monocytes. thought to be associated with immune function, susceptibility Alzheimer's disease, rare leukemias. Antagonism or genetic ablation of has been proposed treat hematological cancers, a selection mechanism for enriching genetically altered blood cells. To understand the impact chronic loss ablation, we describe individuals who confirmed missing due germline function variants....
Abstract. The antibody content of milk from healthy Swedish mothers was compared with that a very low socio‐economic group in developing country. Antibodies various immunoglobulin classes against E. coti O antigens were determined the enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). antibodies which mainly belonged to secretory IgA class appeared similar concentrations two groups using coli as well Pakistani origin. could be demonstrated stool breast‐fed infants undernourished mothers. Also...
The TIFY family is a plant-specific gene that involved in regulating variety of plant processes, including developmental and defense responses. chromosome-level genome the tea (Camellia sinensis) has recently been released, but comprehensive view C. sinensis (the CsTIFY genes) lacking. current study performed an extensive genome-wide identification genes. phylogenetics, chromosome location, exon/intron structure, conserved domains these genes were analyzed to characterize members family....
The recent upsurge of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria (Forskål, 1775) has had an impact on East Africa and Middle as far India. It affected slowed down many aspects Pakistani economy. Swarms locusts have infested areas caused immense damage to all types crops. Both farmers economists are concerned trying get most up-to-date information best strategy manage this pest. This paper is attempt (i) provide insight into dynamics internationally well in various regions Pakistan, (ii) briefly...
The desert locust has been a notorious pest since ancient times. A population upsurge hit Pakistan in 2019 and caused tremendous damage to agriculture livelihoods. To take advantage of this ongoing upsurge, we conducted field study verify whether collection could be an interesting control method protect crops the event invasion, as well accepted food resource for poor rural communities. village Thar desertic region was selected type-locality. An awareness campaign launched promote...
Although Pakistan has rich biodiversity, many groups are poorly known, particularly insects. To address this gap, we employed DNA barcoding to survey its insect diversity. Specimens obtained through diverse collecting methods at 1,858 sites across from 2010-2019 were examined for sequence variation in the 658 bp barcode region of cytochrome c oxidase 1 (COI) gene. Sequences nearly 49,000 specimens assigned 6,590 Barcode Index Numbers (BINs), a proxy species, and most (88%) also possessed...
ABSTRACT Genetic association studies have demonstrated that partial loss of SLC30A8 function protects against type 2 diabetes (T2D) in humans, but the impact complete remains unknown. From whole-exome and genome sequencing 100,814 participants Pakistan Genome Resource, we identified fifteen knockouts, including homozygotes for a variant enriched South Asians (Gln174Ter) 615 heterozygotes loss-of-function (LoF) variants. T2D risk was lower LoF hetero- homozygotes, protective effect...
Background: Darkling beetles widely existed in Pakistan and caused economic damage to the number of agricultural crops. In processing, manufacturing, distribution, retail segments, these pests pose a food safety risk for adulterating items produced or stored. Still nothing exists on said subject; therefore, present study was planned. This conducted investigate diversity, taxonomic status two sub-families Tenebrionidae which has significant impact Methods: Species subfamily Tenebrioninae...
An annotated catalogue of Acrididae (Orthoptera: Caelifera) Pakistan and its two adjacent territories is presented. A total 169 species (including subspecies) belonged to 66 genera 29 tribes with 14 subfamilies are reported from this region. Oedipodinae (56) was the most species-rich subfamily, followed by Gomphocerinae (30), Acridinae (15), Calliptaminae (12), Eyprepocnemidinae (12) Oxyinae (9), Hemiacridinae (10), Cyrtacanthacridinae (8), Catantopinae (7), Tropidopolinae Teratodinae each...
Trombidiidae species are reported as ecto-parasites in their larval stages for the variety of acrididae, which pests many economic crops world including Pakistan. The current parasitism ratio red mite, Eutrombidium trigonum, was studied on three host species of Hieroglyphus, which presently destroying valued crops. It observed that proportional survival found to be lower mites-parasitized specimens. Females these had reduced initial and total reproduction compared un-parasitic species. Egg...
