Drought-Induced genomic and epigenetic variations in Quinoa genotypes revealed by iPBS and CRED-iPBS marker systems.

Drought stress significantly impacts crop productivity, yet its influence on genomic and epigenetic variation in quinoa remains poorly understood. This study aimed to assess DNA damage and cytosine methylation alterations in six quinoa genotypes (Titicaca, Rainbow, Moqu Arrochilla, Cherry Vanilla, China, and White) exposed to five irrigation levels (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, and 100% field capacity). Genomic changes were evaluated using inter-primer binding site (iPBS) markers, while DNA methylation was analyzed via CRED-iPBS.

Recombinant tritin protein exhibits antiviral activity against zucchini yellow mosaic virus.

Background: Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a group of proteins known to inhibit protein synthesis and contribute to plant defense responses. Although the antiviral properties of various RIPs have been demonstrated, the antiviral potential of tritin, a type 1 RIP from bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), remains unexplored.

Evaluation of genetic diversity in some hybrid individuals of honeyberry (Lonicera caerulea L.) based on fruit characteristics, leaf morphology, vitamin C, antioxidant activity, and biochemical and nutritional contents.

Background: Genetic diversity is a prerequisite for breeding programs, and one of the main goals here is to obtain quality products. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the genetic diversity in some hybrid individuals of honeyberry (Lonicera caerulea L.) based on fruit characteristics, leaf morphology, vitamin C, antioxidant activity, biochemical, and nutritional content.

Machine Learning Analysis of the Impact of Silver Nitrate and Silver Nanoparticles on Wheat ( L.): Callus Induction, Plant Regeneration, and DNA Methylation.

The objective of this study was to comprehend the efficiency of wheat regeneration, callus induction, and DNA methylation through the application of mathematical frameworks and artificial intelligence (AI)-based models. This research aimed to explore the impact of treatments with AgNO and Ag-NPs on various parameters. The study specifically concentrated on analyzing RAPD profiles and modeling regeneration parameters.
