This study aims to provide a thorough ecological understanding of fin fish diversity within carp spawning grounds in the Surma River and Tanguar haor. Over two spawning seasons, this research investigates ecological factors impacting fin fish diversity and abundance in carp spawning grounds of the Surma River and Tanguar haor, emphasizing water quality, habitat features, spawn availability, and environmental influences. Fish spawn samples were collected with eight "Savar nets" at chosen sites and reared in a fiberglass tank at the mini hatchery for species identification.

This is a systematic attempt to depict the genetic evolution of the Late Quaternary sediments of the southeastern (SE) coastal region of the Bengal basin regarding paleotectonic settings, sedimentation, provenance, paleo-climatic conditions, weathering condition and age. The study has considered multiple attributes such as, lithology/lithofacies, sedimentary features/records, major oxides, clay minerals, foraminifera, and radiocarbon dating. The lithological characters along with associated clay minerals confirmed that a Pleistocene paleosol horizon (over-bank deposits) of warm-humid nature is commonly encountered immediately on top of the sub-crop bed-rock in the area overlain by Holocene fluvio-marine sediments of the same nature.

Five genes of large phenotypic effect known to confer abiotic stress tolerance in rice were selected to characterize allelic variation in commercial Colombian upland rice cultivars adapted to drought-prone acid soil environments (cv. Llanura11 and Porvenir12). Allelic variants of the genes , , , , and were characterized by PCR and/or Sanger sequencing in the two upland cultivars and compared with the Nipponbare and other reference genomes.

Association analysis for ionomic concentrations of 20 elements identified independent genetic factors underlying the root and shoot ionomes of rice, providing a platform for selecting and dissecting causal genetic variants. Understanding the genetic basis of mineral nutrient acquisition is key to fully describing how terrestrial organisms interact with the non-living environment. Rice (Oryza sativa L.

Rice, L., is a cultivated, inbreeding species that serves as the staple food for the largest number of people on earth. It has two strongly diverged varietal groups, and , which result from a combination of natural and human selection.

Article Synopsis
  • Systematic mappings of protein interactome networks provide crucial functional insights for various model organisms.
  • The authors developed a new tool called PLATE-seq that allows for the rapid sequencing of thousands of DNA elements, demonstrating its effectiveness by creating an ORFeome for 2,300 genes.
  • They constructed a detailed protein-protein interactome map showing 322 interactions among 289 proteins, significantly expanding knowledge of these interactions in rice by about 50%.
