Abstract Three members of the Puccinia genus, Pucciniatriticina (Pt), P. striiformis f.sp. tritici (Pst), and graminis (Pgt), cause most common often significant foliar diseases wheat. While similar in biology life cycle, each species is uniquely adapted specialized. The genomes Pt Pst were sequenced compared to that Pgt identify distinguishing gene content, determine variation among wheat rust pathogens, other fungi, basidiomycetes, genes significance for infection. had largest genome...
Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Despite advancements in current therapies, the development drug resistance and need for improved treatment outcomes necessitate exploration novel therapeutic approaches. This study aimed to investigate synergistic anti-cancer effects Melittin, bee venom peptide, combination with Erlotinib, an EGFR inhibitor, non-small cell lung (NSCLC). The evaluated combined Melittin Erlotinib on A549 NSCLC cells. Cell viability,...
Plant fungal pathogens cause substantial economic losses through crop yield reduction and post-harvest storage losses. The utilization of biocontrol agents presents a sustainable strategy to manage plant diseases, reducing the reliance on hazardous chemical. Recently, Pichia kudriavzevii has emerged as promising agent because its capacity inhibit growth, offering potential solution for disease management.Two novel strains, Pk_EgyACGEB_O1 Pk_EgyACGEB_O2, were isolated from olive brine...
Malaysia ranks among the world’s top 20 pineapple producers, driven by success of MD2 variety in meeting domestic and international demand. However, postharvest losses due to pathological diseases remain a challenge. Black rot, major disease, causes significant economic pineapples. Despite its presence various cultivars, aetiology, specifically pineapples remains unclear. This study was conducted identify principal causative pathogen black rot disease from three different regions. In...
Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei (Bgh), severely impacts global barley Hordeum vulgare L. (Hv) production. This investigation evaluated Egyptian genotypes to identify novel resistance sources and molecular markers for breeding programs. Phenotypic assessments at the seedling (growth stage, GS 32) adult plant (GS 55–59) stages under controlled field conditions, combined with SSR marker analysis, revealed distinct profiles. Genotypes Giza 123, 125, G8 exhibited strong...
One of the most important evolutionary processes in plants is polyploidization. The combination two or more genomes one organism often initially leads to changes gene expression and extensive genomic reorganization, compared parental species. Hexaploid triticale (x Triticosecale) a synthetic hybrid crop species generated by crosses between T. turgidum Secale cereale. Because recent polyploid it an model for studying genome evolution following Molecular studies have demonstrated that sequence...
The caleosin genes encode proteins with a single conserved EF hand calcium-binding domain and comprise small gene families found in wide range of plant species. Some members the family have been shown to be upregulated by environmental stresses including low water availability high salinity. Caleosin 3 from wheat has interact α-subunit heterotrimeric G proteins, act as GTPase activating protein (GAP). This study characterizes size diversity related species differential tissue-specific...
Understanding the role of cysteine-rich receptor-like kinases (CRKs) in plant defense mechanisms is crucial for enhancing wheat resistance to leaf rust fungus infection. Here, we identified and verified 164 members CRK gene family using Triticum aestivum reference version 2 collected from international genome sequencing consortium (IWGSC). The proteins exhibited characteristic features CRKs, including presence signal peptides, cysteine-rich/stress antifungal/DUF26 domains, transmembrane...
Summary Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role during host–pathogen interactions and are often indication of induced host defence responses. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that Puccinia triticina ( Pt ) generates ROS, including superoxide, H 2 O hydroxyl radicals, wheat infection. Through pharmacological inhibition, found ROS critical both urediniospore germination pathogenic development on wheat. A comparative RNA‐Seq analysis different stages infection...

Abstract Background Basil ( Ocimum sp.) exhibits significant morphological and genetic diversity. This variation provides an opportunity to identify novel traits that can be used in breeding programs improve the productivity, quality, disease resistance of basil plants. The integration data for varieties our understanding biodiversity, conservation, programs. Results In 2019, we conducted a comprehensive investigation on 25 landraces collected from 12 Egyptian governorates explore their...
Cadmium (Cd) toxicity is a serious threat to agronomic crop productivity worldwide. It raises severe concerns about the food and nutrient security required meet demands of rapidly growing population, while also creating grave challenges for agriculture. Silicon (Si) strigolecton (SL) are reported impart multiple benefits plants exposed abiotic stress. Therefore, current experiment was performed evaluate effects silicon (4.0 mM) (20 µM) on amelioration cadmium (25 mg kg−1 soil) stress in...
Background/Objectives: The phytosulfokine receptor (PSKR) gene family plays a crucial role in regulating plant growth, development, and stress response. Here, the PSKR was characterized Triticum aestivum L. study aimed to bridge knowledge gaps clarify functional roles of TaPSKRs create solid foundation for examining structure, functions, regulatory aspects. Methods: investigation involved genome-wide identification PSKRs through collection chromosomal assignment, followed by phylogenetic...
