Unlabelled: Bacterial blight, one of the oldest and most severe diseases of rice poses a major threat to global rice production and food security. Thereafter, sustainable management of this disease has given paramount importance globally. In the current study, we explored 792 landraces to evaluate their disease reaction status against three highly virulent strains (, and ) of pv (). Subsequently, we intended to identify the possible candidate resistant () genes responsible for the resistant reaction using six STS (Sequence Tagged Site) markers correspond to , , , , and genes and finally, we evaluated morphological variability of the potential bacterial blight resistant germplasm using quantitative traits. Based on pathogenicity test, a single germplasm was found as highly resistant while, 33 germplasm were resistant and 40 were moderately resistant. Further molecular study on these 74 germplasm divulged that 41 germplasm carried gene, 15 carried gene, 62 carried gene, 33 carried gene, and 19 carried gene. Only a single germplasm found to carry gene. Interestingly, we found a wide range of gene combinations ranged from 2 to 4 genes among the germplasm, where 10 germplasm carried 4 genes, 15 germplasm carried 3 genes and 38 germplasm carried 2 genes of various combinations. Notably, G3 genotype (Acc. No. 4216; highly resistant) having , , , and G43 genotype (Acc.No. 1523; resistant) having , , and gene combination being the most effective against all the strains. Nonetheless, UPGMA dendrogram and heatmap analysis based on quantitative traits identified two clusters viz. cluster-III and cluster-VIII with multiple desired traits. The outcome of this study would enrich and diversify the rice gene pool and would be useful for the development of durable bacterial blight resistant varieties.

Major depression disorder (MDD) is a mental condition that significantly threatens both physical and psychological health. This study aimed to discern variances in plasma metabolic profiles between MDD sufferers and healthy counterparts. Additionally, we tracked the hospitalization journey of MDD patients to investigate the normalization of metabolic irregularities through conventional treatment in the form of self-control.

Aims: This study aims to investigate the genomic profile of a multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strain, 160-11H1, co-carrying an extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and the plasmid-mediated mobile colistin resistance gene, mcr-5.
Methods And Results: The entire genome of the strain was sequenced using Illumina MiSeq and Oxford Nanopore platforms, and de novo assembly was performed using Unicycler. The genome size was 5 031,330 bp and comprised 5 140 coding sequences.

Unlabelled: There is a need for the development of broad-spectrum antiviral compounds that can act as first-line therapeutic countermeasures to emerging viral infections. Host-directed approaches present a promising avenue of development and carry the benefit of mitigating risks of viral escape mutants. We have previously found the SKI (super killer) complex to be a broad-spectrum, host-target with our lead compound ("UMB18") showing activity against influenza A virus, coronaviruses, and filoviruses.

Wheat blast caused by the fungus (MoT) pathotype is a catastrophic disease that threatens global food security. Lately, was discovered as a blast resistance gene in wheat genotype S615. However, while has recently been cloned, the precise underlying biochemical and molecular mechanism by which this gene confers resistance against MoT, remains to be fully elucidated.
