Integrating Artificial Intelligence in Environmental Monitoring: A Paradigm Shift in Data-Driven Sustainability.

Environmental monitoring is essential for understanding and minimizing human impact on ecosystems. Traditional methods like manual sampling and laboratory testing, while accurate, are often costly, time-consuming, and difficult to scale, especially in low-resource settings. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly addressing these limitations by enabling automated data collection, real-time analysis, and predictive modeling.

Targeting monkeypox virus (MPXV): strategies for molecular docking studies on protein inhibition.

In the year 2022, the outbreak of monkeypox virus (MPXV) occurred in the various countries of Africa, particularly Central and West Africa, North America, South America, Europe, and other countries. Without any delay it spread across more than 100 countries infecting around 116,015 people causing around 255 deaths. Monkeypox is a major public health issue, and it is important to search for new therapeutic approaches.

Single-cell transcriptomics: a new frontier in plant biotechnology research.

Single-cell transcriptomic techniques have ushered in a new era in plant biology, enabling detailed analysis of gene expression at the resolution of individual cells. This review delves into the transformative impact of these technologies on our understanding of plant development and their far-reaching implications for plant biotechnology. We present a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in single-cell transcriptomics, emphasizing their application in elucidating complex cellular processes and developmental pathways in plants.

Integrating physiological and multi-omics methods to elucidate heat stress tolerance for sustainable rice production.

Heat stress presents unique challenges compared to other environmental stressors, as predicting crop responses and understanding the mechanisms for heat tolerance are complex tasks. The escalating impact of devastating climate changes heightens the frequency and intensity of heat stresses, posing a noteworthy threat to global agricultural productivity, especially in rice-dependent regions of the developing world. Humidity has been demonstrated to negatively affect rice yields worldwide.

Genome-wide identification and analysis of SPL gene family in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.).

A transcription factor in plants encodes SQUAMOSA promoter binding protein-like (SPL) serves a broad spectrum of important roles for the plant, like, growth, flowering, and signal transduction. A gene family that encodes SPL proteins is documented in various model plant species, including Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum), a leguminous crop, has not been thoroughly explored with regard to the SPL protein-encoding gene family.

Genome-wide identification and analyses of the AHL gene family in rice ().

Unlabelled: AHL (AT-HOOK MOTIF CONTAINING NUCLEAR LOCALIZED) family members play a critical role in stress resistance regulation by DNA-protein and protein-protein interactions in a number of plant biological processes. Using genomic data, an attempt was made to evaluate AHL genes in rice. Using a genome database, we performed in silico detection and characterization of AHL family genes in rice.

'A plant's major strength in rhizosphere': the plant growth promoting rhizobacteria.

Human activities, industrialization and civilization have deteriorated the environment which eventually has led to alarming effects on plants and animals by heightened amounts of chemical pollutants and heavy metals in the environment, which create abiotic stress. Environmental conditions like drought, salinity, diminished macro-and micro-nutrients also contribute in abiotic stress, resulting in decrement of survival and growth of plants. Presence of pathogenic and competitive microorganisms, as well as pests lead to biotic stress and a plant alone can not defend itself.

Computational Modelling, Functional Characterization and Molecular Docking to Lead Compounds of Bordetella pertussis Diaminopimelate Epimerase.

Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough, is an opportunistic virulent bacterial pathogen that is resistant to a wide range of antibiotics due to a variety of resistance mechanisms. Looking at the increasing number of infections caused by B. pertussis and its resistance to diverse antibiotics, it is essential to develop alternative strategies to fight against B.

Abiotic stress tolerance in plants: a fascinating action of defense mechanisms.

Climate fluctuation mediated abiotic stress consequences loss in crop yields. These stresses have a negative impact on plant growth and development by causing physiological and molecular changes. In this review, we have attempted to outline recent studies (5 years) associated with abiotic stress resistance in plants.

Evaluation of epidermal growth factor receptor expression by a new scoring system in head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma and its association with various pathological prognostic factors.

Context: Squamous cell carcinoma is an aggressive epithelial malignancy of the upper aerodigestive tract comprising 90% of all head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). It is the sixth leading cancer worldwide, with approximately 600,000 cases reported annually. It is one of the most common cancers in India.
