Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) include abnormal conditions of the heart, diseased blood vessels, structural problems of the heart, and blood clots. Traditionally, CVD has been diagnosed by clinical experts, physicians, and medical specialists, which is expensive, time-consuming, and requires expert intervention. On the other hand, cost-effective digital diagnosis of CVD is now possible because of the emergence of machine learning (ML) and statistical techniques.

Interest in the biotoxicology of uranium resulting from its inherent radioactive as well as chemical properties has been growing intensely in recent years. Indeed, uranium in its stable form as UO species is ubiquitously found on earth, and this form is commonly known as the uranyl(VI) ion. The unusual electronic environment at the core of the uranyl(VI) complex plays an important role in its interaction with biomacromolecules.

A comprehensive LC-MS/MS method, which employs Positive Electrospray Ionization (PEI) and Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) was developed for the simultaneous determination of 35 pesticides belonging to various chemical classes in tomato, brinjal, chili, and okra samples. Extraction was facilitated using a modified QuEChERS method, which allows efficient sample analysis in a single run. Calibration curves for each pesticide exhibited linearity within the concentration range of 0.

  • - Vaccination is crucial for the health management of all animals, particularly in inland aquaculture, to prevent diseases in fish broodstocks and enhance healthy seed production.
  • - In 2020, aquaculture produced 90.3 million tons of fish, but there was a 4% decline in inland aquaculture production compared to 2018, highlighting the impact of infectious diseases that resulted in significant financial losses.
  • - Innovative vaccination methods, such as using autogenous vaccines and incorporating vaccines in fish feed, are being explored to improve effectiveness and reduce reliance on antibiotics, ultimately aiming to minimize environmental contamination.

The biotic and abiotic stresses cause a significant decline in the yield and fruit quality traits, including antioxidants and minerals, of bitter gourd when grown in open fields. Protected cultivation technology has emerged to minimize such stresses. We investigated the effect of diverse environments (hi-tech greenhouse, naturally ventilated polyhouse, insect-proof net-house, and open field) and breeding lines on earliness, yield potential, antioxidant activities, and dietary nutrients.

  • A recent study found that about 15.3% of individuals with melanoma had germline pathogenic variants, indicating hereditary factors play a significant role in this type of cancer.
  • Most of these variants were linked to genes not typically associated with melanoma, while one-third were related to known familial melanoma genes such as CDKN2A and BRCA2.
  • The findings suggest that hereditary predisposition to melanoma is more common than previously thought, with actionable genetic insights available for nearly 15% of patients tested.

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is among the most important commercial horticultural crops worldwide. The crop quality and production is largely hampered due to the fungal pathogen Alternaria solani causing necrotrophic foliage early blight disease. Crop plants usually respond to the biotic challenges with altered metabolic composition and physiological perturbations.

Ash gourd () is a cucurbitaceous crop cultivated as an edible vegetable rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fibers and antioxidants. In a field survey conducted in the Udumalpet region of Tamil Nadu during 2019, the incidence of mosaic disease on ash gourd crop was observed to be 75%. The DNA-A and DNA-B components of begomovirus genome have been identified as associated with this disease.

High temperatures present a formidable challenge to the cultivation of hot pepper, profoundly impacting not only vegetative growth but also leading to flower and fruit abscission, thereby causing a significant reduction in yield. To unravel the intricate genetic mechanisms governing heat tolerance in hot pepper, an F population was developed through the crossing of two distinct genotypes exhibiting contrasting heat tolerance characteristics: DLS-161-1 (heat tolerant) and DChBL-240 (heat susceptible). The F population, along with the parental lines, was subjected to comprehensive phenotyping encompassing diverse morphological, physiological, and biochemical heat-related traits under high temperature conditions (with maximum temperature ranging from 31 to 46.

Totally 102 symptomatic samples of cucurbitaceous vegetables showing yellowing were collected from fields of Uttar Pradesh and screened by RT-PCR assay for the presence of Crinivirus and Polerovirus. Among them, Crinivirus (16%) and Polerovirus (23%) were tested positive with the universal primer pairs. Based on the sequence analysis of amplified product, two Crinivirus (Cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus - CCYV and Cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus - CYSDV) and two Polerovirus (Cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus - CABYV and Luffa aphid-borne yellows virus - LABYV) species were characterized.

Spinal intradural extramedullary teratomas are rare tumors arising from more than one germ cell layers and are more common in children than in older age groups. Teratomas are more commonly seen in intracranial compartment and are extremely rare in the spine. They are difficult to diagnose pre-operatively and the definitive diagnosis is usually done by histopathologic evaluation.

Interaction aspects of uranyl(VI) complexes as well as the coordinated ONNO-donor ligand with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated by the fluorescence spectroscopy and computational insights. Under optimal physiological condition, it was observed that there was significant decrease in fluorescence intensity of BSA upon interaction with uranyl(VI) complexes as well as the ligand. The mechanism of interaction between the uranyl(VI) complex and BSA protein was examined by fluorescence measurement.

Untargeted metabolomics of moderately resistant wild tomato species revealed an altered metabolite profile in plant leaves in response to pathogen. Leaf metabolites were significantly differentiated in non-stressed versus stressed plants. The samples were discriminated not only by the presence/absence of specific metabolites as distinguished markers of infection, but also on the basis of their relative abundance as important concluding factors.

The narrow genetic base of tomato poses serious challenges in breeding. Hence, with the advent of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated protein9 (CRISPR/Cas9) genome editing, fast and efficient breeding has become possible in tomato breeding. Many traits have been edited and functionally characterized using CRISPR/Cas9 in tomato such as plant architecture and flower characters (e.
