Background Salinity stress is a considerable abiotic constraint that affects the growth and development of crops. Salt stress in various regions adversely affects sorghum (Sorghum bicolorL.) production because saline soil declines or even stops the...
Background Automated protein function prediction remains challenging in plants because experimentally supported annotations are limited, particularly for crop and non-model plant species. Integrating deep learning techniques in plant molecular...
Banana Lectin (BanLec) is a mannose-binding jacalin-related lectin that has attracted considerable scientific interest due to its affinity toward high-mannose-type N-glycans and its immunomodulatory and antiviral properties. It also has the...
This study examined the effects of bacterial and fungal biofertilizers, individually or in combination, on maize (Zea maysL.) under nickel stress. The experiment was conducted as a factorial design with three replications under controlled...
Background The quality of light strongly influences plant growth and the accumulation of bioactive compounds, yet the effects of near-infrared radiation beyond the far-red region remain poorly understood. This study investigated whether near-infrared...
One of the most difficult blood malignancies that affects adults globally is leukemia. About 40% of all adult cases are of acute myeloid leukemia, which is the most prevalent kind. Another 26% are of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The disease...
Cadmium pollution threatens sustainable oilseed production, yet eco-friendly mitigation strategies remain limited. This study evaluated combinatorial seed priming with ascorbic acid (AsA) and gallic acid (GA) to alleviate cadmium toxicity in Brassica...
Flavonoid nutraceuticals provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory health benefits, yet strategies to enhance their accumulation in plant tissues remain limited. We used the DNA methylation inhibitor 5-azacytidine (5-AzaC) and the histone...
Salinity poses a significant abiotic challenge for lentil, especially in dry and sub-arid regions. Salt stress hampers germination, seedling establishment and vegetative growth by impeding water absorption and causing ionic toxicity, nutrient...
Desert plants exhibit remarkable adaptive mechanisms that enable them to survive extreme aridity through efficient water management and metabolic plasticity. This study investigated the metabolomic basis of drought tolerance in the xero-halophyte Halo...
Codon usage bias in plant chloroplast genes is generally weak, yet the structure of this variation in gymnosperms remains poorly understood. Here, we analyzed 1,831 chloroplast protein-coding sequences from 44 species representing 10 genera of...
This study aimed at assessing the nutritional value, phytochemical profile, and antioxidant attributes of ethanolic (EE) and aqueous (AE) extracts of peels and cladodes of Opuntia ficus indicagrown in Morocco. The phytochemical composition...
My interest in science began with my MSc in Agronomy and although I started my PhD studies in IARI, I had to take up a job in Bureau of Indian Standards where I worked for a little over 3 years. Not happy with the job that did not involve research,...
The utilization rate of grapevine pruning waste for resource recovery is low, with most material being disposed of through incineration, creating an urgent need for high-value transformation. To develop an adsorbent with high Cd2+adsorption...
Shifts in temperature, atmospheric CO2 and relative humidity under changing climate conditions are expected to profoundly alter crop biochemistry and insect herbivore performance. The pink stem borer, Sesamia inferens(Walker), is an important pest...
To support the transition toward sustainable agriculture, exploring eco-friendly alternatives to chemical fertilizers is crucial. This study aims to assess the biofertilizer potential of three brown algae: Cystoseira gibraltarica, Bifurcaria bifurcata...
This research was conducted with the intention to enhance the nutritional, bioactive, and functional qualities of Phalsa (Grewia asiatica) seed flour by using the mixed enzyme system of protease and cellulase. The mixed enzyme system of protease and...
Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient required for plant growth, development, and metabolic processes. However, the regulatory mechanisms modulating N assimilate allocation and utilization under different N forms remain unclear. This study...
Early blight caused by Alternaria solani (Ellis and Martin) seriously threatens tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicumL.) and affects crop production worldwide. Studies have examined resistance in tomatoes, but progress remains limited. This study observed...
Alkali treatment is widely used to improve the interfacial performance of lignocellulosic fibers in polymer composites; however, the mechanisms governing the fiber-specific response remain poorly understood. This work investigates that the effect of...
