Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is widely recognized for its potential as a biofertilizer and biocontrol agent in agriculture due to plant growth-promoting (PGP) mechanisms. However, the practical application of this bacterium often limited by suboptimal fermentation conditions, which hinder growth efficacy. While numerous studies have optimized conditions various strains B. , novelty work lies systematic optimization ck-05, strain obtained from culture collection, biofertilizer. In study,...
Catalases (CATs) play crucial roles in scavenging H2O2 from reactive oxygen species, controlling the growth and development of plants. So far, genome-wide identification characterization CAT genes oil palm have not been reported. In present study, five EgCAT were obtained through a approach. Phylogenetic analysis divided them into two subfamilies, with closer sharing similar structures. Gene structure conserved motif demonstrated nature intron/exon organization motifs among genes. Several...
AP2/ERF transcription factor genes play an important role in regulating the responses of plants to various abiotic stresses, such as cold, drought, high salinity, and temperature. However, less is known about function oil palm genes. We previously obtained 172 found that expression
Abstract The mutually antagonistic processes producing adaptations and counter-adaptations in avian brood parasites their hosts provide a model system for the study of coevolution; this topic has long been an area focus ornithology evolutionary biology. Although there is extensive body literature dealing with parasitism, few empirical studies have considered effects coevolutionary associated parasitism on acoustic characteristics parent–offspring communication. Under strong selection...
Egg rejection in birds is a specific adaptation toward avian brood parasitism, whereas nest sanitation general behavior for cleaning the and avoiding predation. However, both behaviors refer to action of ejecting objects out nest, has been proposed as pre-adaptation egg rejection. Here, we tested eliciting effect on red-whiskered bulbul Pycnonotus jocosus, potential host species that are sympatric with parasitic cuckoos. We conducted meta-analyses previous studies rejection, order evaluate...
Selection due to cuckoo parasitism is responsible for the evolution of anti-parasitism defenses in hosts. Different host species breeding sympatrically with a single parasitic may evolve different strategies reduce risk counter parasitism, resulting interactions between cuckoos and hosts areas sympatry. Here, we studied coevolutionary Himalayan Cuculus saturatus 2 sympatric closely related potential belonging family Pycnonotidae, brown-breasted bulbul Pycnonotus xanthorrhous collared...
Abstract Egg recognition is a variable but common anti‐parasitism defense among different species of birds with brood parasites. In contrast, nestling rare. Very few studies have found in parasite hosts and determined the rejection mechanism behind this behavior. Hosts may use number hatchling down‐feathers to reject nestlings. We tested whether visual cue for red‐rumped swallow, host that can recognize Our results indicated swallows do not foreign nestlings based on down‐feathers. The...
Abstract The parent–offspring conflict in avian species encompasses resource allocation and a balance necessary for survival both parties. Parental investment is modulated according to various factors, among which begging important. Endogenous hormones, particularly corticosterone (CORT), play role modulating behavior. However, most studies on hormonal regulation of behavior induced elevated hormone levels the offspring through feeding or injections, thus, limiting our knowledge evolution...
