Assessing the imazethapyr herbicide-induced physio-biochemical consequences and phenol and glutathione-associated detoxification in lentil seedlings.

Lentil is an essential edible legume crop, especially for developing countries, due to the presence of high-quality proteins, fibers, essential vitamins, and mineral nutrients. The short height of this crop is often linked with a slow pace of growth, favoring the suitable space and time for weed incursion. Consequently, the developmental period during the crop growth cycle is shortened, leading to a decline in crop productivity.

Credibility assessment of cold adaptive MP1 and N26 on growth, rhizosphere dynamics, nutrient status, and yield of the kidney bean cultivated in Indian Central Himalaya.

Kidney bean () productivity and nutritional quality are declining due to less nutrient accessibility, poor soil health, and indigent agronomic practices in hilly regions, which collectively led to a fall in farmer's income, and to malnutrition in consumers. Addressing such issues, the present investigation was designed to assess the impact of MP1 and N26 treatment on soil health, microbial shift, yield, and nutrient status of the kidney bean in the Harsil and Chakrata locations of Indian Central Himalaya. MP1 and N26 were characterized as cold adaptive PGPR as they possessed remarkable plant growth promoting traits.

Longitudinal Analysis of Biologic Correlates of COVID-19 Resolution: Case Report.

Vaccination boosts protective responses and counters SARS-CoV-2-induced pathogenic memory B cells.

Much is to be learned about the interface between immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination. We monitored immune responses specific to SARS-CoV-2 Spike Receptor-Binding-Domain (RBD) in convalescent individuals for eight months after infection diagnosis and following vaccination. Over time, neutralizing antibody responses, which are predominantly RBD specific, generally decreased, while RBD-specific memory B cells persisted.

Tailoring the electronic structure and magnetic properties of pyrochlore CoTiGeO: a GGA +study.

We report the electronic structure and magnetic properties of CoTiGeO(0 ⩽⩽ 1) spinel by means of the first-principle methods of density functional theory involving generalized gradient approximation along with the on-site Coulomb interaction () in the exchange-correlation energy functional. Special emphasis has been given to explore the site occupancy of Ge atoms in the spinel lattice by introducing the cationic disorder parameter () which is done in such a way that one can tailor the pyrochlore geometry and determine the electronic/magnetic structure quantitatively. For all the compositions (), the system exhibits weak tetragonal distortion (/≠ 1) due to the non-degeneratedz2anddx2-y2states (orbitals) of the B-site Co.

Coronavirus lockdown helped the environment to bounce back.

As the transmission of novel corona virus (COVID-19) increases rapidly, the whole world adopted the curfew/lockdown activity with restriction of human mobility. The imposition of quarantine stopped all the commercial activity that greatly affects the various important environmental parameters which directly connected to human health. As all the types of social, economic, industrial and urbanization activity suddenly shut off, nature takes the advantages and showed improvement in the quality of air, cleaner rivers, less noise pollution, undisturbed and calm wildlife.

The potential of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in C cycling: a review.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) contribute predominantly to soil organic matter by creating a sink demand for plant C and distributing to below-ground hyphal biomass. The extra-radical hyphae along with glomalin-related soil protein significantly influence the soil carbon dynamics through their larger extent and turnover period need to discuss. The role of AMF is largely overlooked in terrestrial C cycling and climate change models despite their greater involvement in net primary productivity augmentation and further accumulation of this additional photosynthetic fixed C in the soil.

Adaptive Neural-Network Control of MIMO Nonaffine Nonlinear Systems With Asymmetric Time-Varying State Constraints.

In this paper, a novel robust adaptive barrier Lyapunov function (BLF)-based backstepping controller has been proposed for a class of interconnected, multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) unknown nonaffine nonlinear systems with asymmetric time-varying (ATV) state constraints. The design involves a neural-network-based online approximator to cope with uncertain dynamics of the system. To tune its weights, a novel adaptive law is proposed based on the Hadamard product.

Arbuscular mycorrhiza: a viable strategy for soil nutrient loss reduction.

Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi's (AMF) role in plant nutrition and stress management is well known, but very few researches and studies have been conducted so far on the fungal ability to reduce different nutrient losses (runoff, leaching and volatilization) from the soil system. This important ecosystem service of AMF had been neglected largely. From the recent findings, it has been confirmed that mycorrhizal symbiosis has potential to check the losses of applied nutrients.
