This study was conducted to investigate the effects of selenium nanoparticle (Se-NP) supplementation on the growth performance, carcass composition, antioxidant status, hepatic enzyme activities, and immunity of Cirrhinus mrigala. For this purpose, fish with an average initial weight of 7.44 ± 0.04 g were fed five experimental diets containing 0 (c...

Cymbopogon spp . (lemongrass), which is a perennial herb, belongs to the family Poaceae. It has been used in traditional and ayurvedic medicine for over a century in a range of countries. Lemongrass possesses antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial and analgesic applications. It’s also used to treat diabetes, sickness, the flu and...

Stevia rebaudiana contains sweet phytochemicals and is a zero-caloric natural alternative to artificial sweeteners. The direct organogenesis of S. rebaudiana was carried out using apical bud explant in vitro. The Murashige and Skoog medium was used, and the culture was set up under optimized conditions of 24±2°C temperature and 16 hours of light ex...

Unwanted or weed fish in aquaculture pond may affect the growth and development of cultured fish species. The current investigation aimed to assess the piscicidal effect of five commercial toxicants on weed fish, Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) for a short period. The fish was exposed to four concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 ppm) of dime...

Waterlogging refers to excess soil water and severely affects the yield and production of Brassica crops. Vegetable oil is the major product which is obtained from Brassica species; hence, these are the key oilseed crop at number two in the international market of oilseed, the first being soybean. Hereditary modifications in the edible oil-producin...

Quality and quantity of chemical constituents in medicinal plants highly depends on environmental conditions. The contents of active constituents in Gentiana macrophylla Pall. may vary among different altitudes of mountain meadows and are affected by environmental factors. The aim of this study was to find the effect of environmental factors on Gen...

Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a highly pathogenic virus and causes rapid disease progression from fulminant hepatitis to development of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). HDV is endemic in Pakistan; however, there are no available data on HDV prevalence among the high-risk group of HBV-infected pregnant wom...

Various regulatory proteins play a fundamental role to manage the healthy plant growth under stress conditions. Differential display reverse transcriptase PCR and random amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) was used to explore the osmotic stress-responsive transcripts. We identified and characterized the salt stress-responsive R2R3 type RMYB transcrip...
Data
Supplementary file 1 (A) Secondary structure prediction, loop to helix ratio, solvent accessibility, and transmembrane helix formation prediction. Supplementary file 1 (B) 3D-structural models of RMYB gene by using different software. Supplementary file 1 (C) Verification of 3D model of RMYB gene. Supplementary file 4 (D) Transformation of Gossypiu...
Article
Salinity is among the significant abiotic stresses adversely affecting plant development and yield for a wide range of crops. For quantitative and qualitative expression studies of proton gradient regulator 5 (PGR5) under salt stress, differential display RT-PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) were performed on salt-stress responsive Go...

Background: Hibiscus sabdariffa L. is an important medicinal and fiber plant in Sudan. Among other stresses, drought extremely limits the growth, quality and net yield of the crop. The drought effects the crop plants by imposing certain morphological, physiological and biochemical changes at different periods of growth. Methods: Current study was c...
Article
Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses to restrict cotton growth and productivity. Heat shock proteins are involved in cellular shielding of plant cells and tissues affected by dehydration. In this study, T-2 segregating population of transgenic cotton containing small heat shock protein gene was compared with wild types under five and ten da...

Salinity is one of the most serious growth limiting factor, therefore, no longer be ignored. Although, cotton is fairly salt tolerant; its sensitivity at crop stand and yield is affected. This study is planned to identify the growth, physiological and molecular parameters in local cotton varieties FDH 171 and FDH 786 under NaCl stress. There was 10...
Article
Abiotic stresses exert a substantial influence on growth and yield in plants; water stress is one of the most imperative abiotic stress factors. The study was carried out to elucidate the effect of drought stress on growth and physiology in Gossypium arboreum. Plants were grown in plastic bags and drought level (5% and 15% drought and control respe...
