Article Abstract

Bacterial blight (BB) disease and submergence due to flash flood are the two major constraints for achieving higher yield from rainfed lowland rice. Marker-assisted backcross breeding was followed to develop submergence tolerant and durable BB resistant variety in the background of popular cultivar 'Swarna'. Four BB resistance genes viz., Xa4, xa5, xa13, Xa21 and Sub1 QTL for submergence tolerance were incorporated into the mega variety. Foreground selection for the five target genes was performed using closely linked markers and tracked in each backcross generations. Background selection in plants carrying the target genes was performed by using 100 simple sequence repeat markers. Amongst backcross derivatives, the plant carrying five target genes and maximum recurrent parent genome content was selected in each generation and hybridized with recipient parent. Eighteen BCF plants were obtained by selfing the selected BCF line. Amongst the pyramided lines, 3 lines were homozygous for all the target genes. Bioassay of the 18 pyramided lines containing BB resistance genes was conducted against different Xoo strains conferred very high levels of resistance to the predominant isolates. The pyramided lines also exhibited submergence tolerance for 14 days. The pyramided lines were similar to the recurrent parent in 14 morpho-quality traits.

Immune-related factors may serve an important role in the development of endometriosis, considering the occurrence of substantial abnormalities in the immune system of women with endometriosis, including reduced T-cell reactivity and natural killer cell cytotoxicity, as well as increased numbers and activation of peritoneal macrophages. Moreover, women suffering from endometriosis are at a higher risk for developing various autoimmune diseases as comorbidities of endometriosis. Recent epidemiological data demonstrate that patients with endometriosis have a significantly higher risk (2.

Background And Aims: Several observational studies have reported inconsistent associations between dyslipidaemia, stains use and atopic dermatitis (AD). Nevertheless, the available data on the effects of -C-lowering as well as TG-lowering drugs remain inconclusive and limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the causal association of lipid traits and long-term use of lipid-lowering drugs on AD risk.

Background: Sepsis is characterized by profound immune and metabolic perturbations, with glycolysis serving as a pivotal modulator of immune responses. However, the molecular mechanisms linking glycolytic reprogramming to immune dysfunction remain poorly defined.

Methods: Transcriptomic profiles of sepsis were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive breast cancer subtype, characterized by a high propensity for metastasis, poor prognosis, and limited treatment options. Research has demonstrated a substantial correlation between the expression of protein arginine N-methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) and enhanced proliferation, metastasis, and poor outcomes in TNBC. However, the specific role of PRMT1 in lung metastasis and chemoresistance remains unclear.

Purpose: This study aimed to conduct functional proteomics across breast cancer subtypes with bioinformatics analyses.

Methods: Candidate proteins were identified using nanoscale liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (NanoLC-MS/MS) from core needle biopsy samples of early stage (0-III) breast cancers, followed by external validation with public domain gene-expression datasets (TCGA TARGET GTEx and TCGA BRCA).

Results: Seventeen proteins demonstrated significantly differential expression and protein-protein interaction (PPI) found the strong networks including COL2A1, COL11A1, COL6A1, COL6A2, THBS1 and LUM.
