Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Profile of () Gene Family in L.

The biosynthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), which are essential for sesquiterpenes and triterpenes, respectively, is primarily governed by the mevalonate pathway, wherein () plays a pivotal role. This study identified eight members of the FPS gene family in , designated -, through bioinformatics analysis, revealing their distribution across several chromosomes and a notable tandem gene cluster. The genes exhibited strong hydrophilic properties and key functional motifs crucial for enzyme activity.

ToRCH pathogens-induced histopathological changes in placental tissues and associated post obstetric complications.

Background: Maternal infections caused by the ToRCH complex, comprising Toxoplasma gondii (T.gondii), Rubella Virus (RV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), are significant contributors to Bad Obstetric History (BOH). These infections can vertically transmit through the placental barrier, leading to complications in fetal development.

Nordic environmental resilience: balancing air quality and energy efficiency by applying artificial neural network.

Maintaining public health and environmental safety in the Nordic nations calls for a strict plan to define exact benchmarks on air quality and energy efficiency. This study investigates the complicated interaction of decentralized energy production (DEP) with energy efficiency, and air quality index in the Nordic nations from 1990 to 2022 using System GMM and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach. Our research explored positive role of decentralized energy production and technological advancement to propel notable increases in energy efficiency, hence lowering pollution expressed as PM2.

Two ubiquitous aldo-keto reductases in the genus Papaver support a patchwork model for morphine pathway evolution.

The evolution of morphinan alkaloid biosynthesis in plants of the genus Papaver includes permutation of several processes including gene duplication, fusion, neofunctionalization, and deletion resulting in the present chemotaxonomy. A critical gene fusion event resulting in the key bifunctional enzyme reticuline epimerase (REPI), which catalyzes the stereochemical inversion of (S)-reticuline, was suggested to precede neofunctionalization of downstream enzymes leading to morphine biosynthesis in opium poppy (Papaver somniferum). The ancestrally related aldo-keto reductases 1,2-dehydroreticuline reductase (DRR), which occurs in some species as a component of REPI, and codeinone reductase (COR) catalyze the second and penultimate steps, respectively, in the pathway converting (S)-reticuline to morphine.
