Whole genome resequencing unveils low-temperature stress tolerance specific genomic variations in jute (Corchorus sp.).

Jute (Corchorus sp.), a commercially important and eco-friendly crop, is widely cultivated in Bangladesh, India, and China. Some varieties of this tropical plant such as the Corchorus olitorius.

Integrated transcriptome catalog of Tenualosa ilisha as a resource for gene discovery and expression profiling.

The silver pride of Bangladesh, migratory shad, Tenualosa ilisha (Hilsa), makes the highest contribution to the total fish production of Bangladesh. Despite its noteworthy contribution, a well-annotated transcriptome data is not available. Here we report a transcriptomic catalog of Hilsa, constructed by assembling RNA-Seq reads from different tissues of the fish including brain, gill, kidney, liver, and muscle.

A Comprehensive Computational Investigation into the Conserved Virulent Proteins of species Unveils Potential Small-Interfering RNA Candidates as a New Therapeutic Strategy against Shigellosis.

species account for the second-leading cause of deaths due to diarrheal diseases among children of less than 5 years of age. The emergence of multi-drug-resistant isolates and the lack of availability of vaccines have led to the pertinence in the efforts made for the development of new therapeutic strategies against shigellosis. Consequently, designing small-interfering RNA (siRNA) candidates against such infectious agents represents a novel approach to propose new therapeutic candidates to curb the rampant rise of anti-microbial resistance in such pathogens.

Value addition to jute: assessing the effect of artificial reduction of lignin on jute diversification.

In the backdrop of an abundance of lignin in jute, the main focus of the present study was to conduct a quality assessment of four delignified jute lines (in which four lignin biosynthetic genes were individually downregulated) across advanced generations for industrial applications. To this end, the transgenic lines were advanced to 7 (COMT and C4H lines) and 5 (C3H and F5H lines) transformed generations. The results exhibit approximately 16-25% reduction in acid-insoluble lignin for the whole stem and 13-14% reduction in fiber lignin content for all four transgenic lines compared to the control.
