Lipids and amino acids inhibitory herbicides impaired the leaf structure and photosynthetic capacity of wheat seedlings under elevated temperature.

Weeds management without herbicides seems impossible in modern day agriculture while, their phytotoxic effects on the crops are equally anticipated. However, the magnitude of herbicidal phytotoxicity on wheat seedlings in the perspective of global warming has predominantly remained unexplored. In the line of that, an experiment was conducted in which the wheat seedlings were raised in a high and normal temperature environment and treated with the amino and fatty acids synthesis inhibitory herbicides including Atlantis Super, Axial, and Puma Super along with a control.

Protein biomarker modulation and wound healing efficacy of mentha piperita-based green-synthesized silver nanoparticles in alloxan-induced diabetic rats.

Background: Prognostic therapy for treating cutaneous wounds requires information about antioxidants and clotting factors in the tissue-remodeling phases.

Purpose: To find the differential expression of potential biomarkers in diabetic rat wounds post-healing after confirming the stability of -silver nanoparticles (MPAgNPs).

Methods: MPAgNPs were characterized, and their bioactive compounds were identified by Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of the Gene Family and Their Associated Regulatory Elements in .

Background: The WRKY gene family is identified as one of the most prominent transcription factor families in plants and is involved in various biological processes such as metabolism, growth and development, and response to biotic and abiotic stresses. In many plant species, the WRKY gene family was widely studied and analyzed but little to no information for . However, the completion of the whole genome sequencing of allowed us to investigate the genome-wide analysis of WRKY proteins.

Mapping proteomic response to salinity stress tolerance in oil crops: Towards enhanced plant resilience.

Exposure to saline environments significantly hampers the growth and productivity of oil crops, harmfully affecting their nutritional quality and suitability for biofuel production. This presents a critical challenge, as understanding salt tolerance mechanisms in crops is key to improving their performance in coastal and high-salinity regions. Our content might be read more properly: This review assembles current knowledge on protein-level changes related to salinity resistance in oil crops.

Omics technology draws a comprehensive heavy metal resistance strategy in bacteria.

The rapid industrial revolution significantly increased heavy metal pollution, becoming a major global environmental concern. This pollution is considered as one of the most harmful and toxic threats to all environmental components (air, soil, water, animals, and plants until reaching to human). Therefore, scientists try to find a promising and eco-friendly technique to solve this problem i.

Long read sequencing to reveal the full complexity of a plant transcriptome by targeting both standard and long workflows.

Background: Long read sequencing allows the analysis of full-length transcripts in plants without the challenges of reliable transcriptome assembly. Long read sequencing of transcripts from plant genomes has often utilized sized transcript libraries. However, the value of including libraries of differing sizes has not been established.

Highly sex specific gene expression in Jojoba.

Background: Dioecious plants have male and female flowers on separate plants. Jojoba is a dioecious plant that is drought-tolerant and native to arid areas. The genome sequence of male and female plants was recently reported and revealed an X and Y chromosome system, with two large male-specific insertions in the Y chromosome.

The jojoba genome reveals wide divergence of the sex chromosomes in a dioecious plant.

Most flowering plants are hermaphrodites, but around 6% of species are dioecious, having separate male and female plants. Sex chromosomes and some sex-specific genes have been reported in plants, but the genome sequences have not been compared. We now report the genome sequence of male and female jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) plants, revealing a very large difference in the sex chromosomes.

Improvements in the sequencing and assembly of plant genomes.

Advances in DNA sequencing have made it easier to sequence and assemble plant genomes. Here, we extend an earlier study, and compare recent methods for long read sequencing and assembly. Updated Oxford Nanopore Technology software improved assemblies.
