Can Puntius sophore breed artificially under controlled conditions? Tracing the life cycle of Puntius sophore through artificial captive breeding.

The development of new strategies for breeding indigenous fish species is of utmost importance in the wake of unfavorable weather events, as a result of climate change. Therefore, an attempt has been made to achieve artificial breeding of an indigenous barb, Puntius sophore. Two groups of juvenile fish, collected from the wild, were reared till sexual maturation.

Genomic analysis of acid tolerance genes and deciphering the function of gene in mitigating acid tolerance in .

Adverse environmental conditions, such as acid stress, induce bacteria to employ several strategies to overcome these stressors. These strategies include forming biofilms and activating specific molecular pathways, such as the general stress response (GSR). The genome of strain G18 was sequenced using the Illumina NextSeq 500 system, resulting in a assembly of 80 scaffolds.

Lambda-Cyhalothrin induced behavioural, neurotoxic and oxidative stress on vertebrate model Danio rerio (Hamilton-Buchanan 1822).

λ-cyhalothrin, a synthetic type II pyrethroid, has become increasingly popular for control of aphids, butterfly larvae, and beetles, replacing other agricultural chemicals. As a result of which, residues of this synthetic pesticide are being reported across the globe in natural water, which poses a serious threat to aquatic life. Therefore, the present study was designed to understand the toxicity effects of λ-cyhalothrin on behaviour, oxidative stress and neurotoxicity in a vertebrate aquatic model, zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Genomic insights into Bacillus subtilis MBB3B9 mediated aluminium stress mitigation for enhanced rice growth.

Aluminium (Al) toxicity in acid soil ecosystems is a major impediment to crop production as it drastically affects plant root growth, thereby acquisition of nutrients from the soil. Plant growth-promoting bacteria offers an interesting avenue for promoting plant growth under an Al-phytotoxic environment. Here, we report the plant growth-promoting activities of an acid-tolerant isolate of Bacillus subtilis that could ameliorate acid-induced Al-stress in rice (Oryza sativa L.
