Alfin-like (AL) transcription factor family in L.: Genome-wide analysis and expression profiling under different stresses.

L. is the world's most essential and economically important food crop. Climate change and ecological imbalances make rice plants vulnerable to abiotic and biotic stresses, threatening global food security.

Identification of potential novel therapeutic drug target against Elizabethkingia anophelis by integrative pan and subtractive genomic analysis: An in silico approach.

Elizabethkingia anophelis is a human pathogen responsible for severe nosocomial infections in neonates and immunocompromised patients. The significantly higher mortality rate from E. anophelis infections and the lack of available regimens highlight the critical need to explore novel drug targets.

Identification, characterization of Apyrase (APY) gene family in rice (Oryza sativa) and analysis of the expression pattern under various stress conditions.

Apyrase (APY) is a nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) diphosphohydrolase (NTPDase) which is a member of the superfamily of guanosine diphosphatase 1 (GDA1)-cluster of differentiation 39 (CD39) nucleoside phosphatase. Under various circumstances like stress, cell growth, the extracellular adenosine triphosphate (eATP) level increases, causing a detrimental influence on cells such as cell growth retardation, ROS production, NO burst, and apoptosis. Apyrase hydrolyses eATP accumulated in the extracellular membrane during stress, wounds, into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and regulates the stress-responsive pathway in plants.

In-silico approach of identifying novel therapeutic targets against Yersinia pestis using pan and subtractive genomic analysis.

The magnitude of human affliction brought about by bacterial infections has been on the rise since the mid-5th century. Yersinia pestis is one such notable, gram-negative bacterium that inflicted havoc around the globe three times throughout different millenniums by causing deadly plagues. Despite the unremitting efforts by scientists, different strains of Yersinia pestis are still affecting the populations in various parts of the world by growing resistant to existing antimicrobial agents owing to their overuse.

Genome wide analysis of the heavy-metal-associated (HMA) gene family in tomato and expression profiles under different stresses.

The heavy-metal-associated (HMA) family plays a major role in the transportation of metals. Despite having the genome sequence of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), the HMA gene family has not been studied yet. In this study, we identified 48 HMA genes and categorized them into Cu/Ag P1B-ATPase and Zn/Co/Cd/Pb P1BATPase sub-families according to their phylogenic relationship with Arabidopsis and rice.
