Genome-wide identification of the cytochrome P450 superfamily in Trichoplusia ni and in-silico expression of resistance against HDAC inhibitors.

The cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni, is a serious pest of cruciferous crops such as cabbage, cauliflower, collard/spring greens, and horseradish, with a major financial impact. Despite its significant financial importance, there has been little study on the characterization of Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) genes, which are critical components in the control of metabolic activities. This study discovers and investigates 19 CYP450 genes in T.

Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of Calotes and Uromastyx in the Cholistan Desert, Pakistan, based on COI gene analysis.

The Cholistan Desert of Pakistan harbors unique reptile diversity, including ecologically significant agamid lizards of the genera Calotes and Uromastyx, yet their genetic structure remains poorly understood. This study presents the first mitochondrial DNA barcode assessment of these taxa in the region, analyzing 658 bp of the cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene from 19 specimens collected across seven desert sites. We employed a combination of distance-based (p-distance, K2P) and phylogenetic methods (Maximum Likelihood, Bayesian Inference) to evaluate genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships.

NPR1-like genes in Theobroma cacao: Evolutionary insights and potential in enhancing resistance to Phytophthora megakarya.

Nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related 1 (NPR1) is crucial for activating the plant immune system through the signaling molecule salicylic acid (SA), which triggers systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in Arabidopsis. In this study, three putative genes associated with NPR1 from Arabidopsis have been identified in the genome of Theobroma cacao, namely, TcNPR1, TcNPR2, and TcNPR3, suggesting a functional diversification among the three gene entities. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that TcNPR1 and TcNPR2 branched alongside their Arabidopsis orthologs, NPR1 and NPR2, indicating that these genes maintain a conserved role in SA signaling pathways across different species.

Genome-Wide Identification and In Silico Expression Analysis of Gene Family in (Citrus) in Response to Abiotic Stress.

The (citrus) plant produces various phytohormones due to the significant involvement of the carotenoid cleavage oxygenase () gene family in its growth and development. genes can be divided into two main categories: (9-cis-epoxy carotenoid dioxygenase), responsible for abscisic acid (ABA) production, and (carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase), involved in pigment and strigolactone formation. To better understand the roles and positions of gene members in relation to these hormones, researchers analyzed the clementine genome.

Genome wide identification of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) gene family in Cucumis sativus (cucumber) against abiotic stress.

Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) is a widely studied enzyme in plant biology due to its role in connecting primary metabolism to secondary phenylpropanoid metabolism, significantly influencing plant growth, development, and stress response. Although PAL genes have been extensively studied in various plant species but their exploration in cucumber has been limited. This study successfully identified 11 CsPAL genes in Cucumis sativus (cucumber).

Genome-wide analysis and identification of Carotenoid Cleavage Oxygenase (CCO) gene family in coffee (coffee arabica) under abiotic stress.

The coffee industry holds importance, providing livelihoods for millions of farmers globally and playing a vital role in the economies of coffee-producing countries. Environmental conditions such as drought and temperature fluctuations can adversely affect the quality and yield of coffee crops.Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCO) enzymes are essential for coffee plants as they help break down carotenoids contributing to growth and stress resistance.

Genome wide analysis of carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCO) gene family in Arachis hypogaea (peanut) under biotic stress.

Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCOs) enzymes play a vital role in plant growth and development through the synthesis of apocarotenoids and their derivative. These chemicals are necessary for flower and fruit coloration, as well as the manufacture of plant hormones such as abscisic acid (ABA) and strigolactones, which control a variety of physiological processes. The CCOs gene family has not been characterized in Arachis hypogaea.

Genetics aspect of vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) biosynthesis and signaling pathways in fruits and vegetables crops.

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient that plays a critical role in many physiological processes in plants and animals. In humans, vitamin C is an antioxidant, reducing agent, and cofactor in diverse chemical processes. The established role of vitamin C as an antioxidant in plants is well recognized.

Antioxidant production promotes defense mechanism and different gene expression level in Zea mays under abiotic stress.

The growth and productivity of maize are severely affected by soil salinity. The crucial determinants for the future performance of plants are productive for seed germination and seedling establishment; however, both stages are liable to soil salinity. For grain, maize is an economically significant crop sensitive to abiotic stresses.
