Concentrated Fusarium venenatum biomass commonly known as mycoprotein (MYC) naturally rich in high quality proteins has been commercially used to fabricate vegan meat analogues by incorporating potato protein (PoP). In this work, we studied the effect of multivalent cations, focusing particularly on essential micronutrients such calcium (0–100 mM) and ferric ions (0–1.0 mM), microstructure fungal hyphae (MYC)-PoP composites, characterized via rheology microscopic techniques a function pH...
Advances in biocontrol potentials and fungicide resistance are highly desirable for Trichoderma . Thus, it is profitable to use mutagenic agents develop superior strains with enhanced properties tolerance This study investigates the N-methyl-n-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) (100 mg/L) induced mutants of asperellum Six NTG (3 each from 1 st & 2 nd round) were developed evaluated their activities carbendazim tolerance. Among mutant N2-3, N2-1, N1 N2-2 gave best antagonistic volatile...
Abstract Restoration factors (Rfs) belonging to the pentatricopeptide repeat proteins (PPRs) family play an essential role in plant growth and development including their binding CMS-associated mitochondrial RNAs leading fertility restoration. The present study identified 22 mitochondrial-specific PPRs pigeonpea explored underlying mechanisms of restoration A 4 CMS system through yeast-three hybrid studies. gene was functionally validated transgenic expression Arabidopsis model obtained...
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br.) is an important crop capable of growing in harsh and marginal environments, with the highest degree tolerance to drought heat stresses among cereals. Diverse germplasm pearl shows a significant phenotypic variation response abiotic stresses, making it unique model study mechanisms responsible for stress mitigation. The present focuses on identifying physiological two high-resolution cross (HRC) genotypes, ICMR 1122 1152, low high vapor pressure...
Abstract Cell walls underpin the mechanics of cell growth, intercellular signalling, and defence against pathogenic organisms. β-(1,3)-glucans (also known as callose) are polysaccharides found in plants, fungi, some bacterial species. In developing plant organs, callose accumulates around channels (plasmodesmata) controlling cell-to-cell communication. We developed monoclonal antibodies for detection using these identified distinct populations differing size secondary structure. Callose...
Fruit ripening, although desirable, correlates with softening, enhanced pathogen susceptibility and bruising, causing losses. Thus, delaying ripening-associated softening is a major target in fruit breeding programmes. During the initial stages of development, phloem unloading essential signalling molecules sugars regulated via symplasmic transport through plasmodesmata (PD), while at later ripening stages, nutrients accumulate apoplastic (Paniagua et al., 2021a). Callose, cell wall...
