Article Synopsis
  • Economic wheat production requires sufficient water and soil nutrients, specifically nitrogen (N) and zinc (Zn), to meet food demands for a growing population.
  • A pot experiment assessed the effects of varying N and Zn levels on wheat growth, yield, and physiological traits, finding that their combined application significantly outperformed individual applications in enhancing growth and photosynthetic pigments.
  • The study also revealed that combined N and Zn applications improve antioxidant enzyme activity, protect plant cell membranes, and influence ionic balance in wheat, emphasizing their synergistic benefits for better crop performance.

Myxozoans are obligate endoparasites, cosmopolitan in distribution with both vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. Their myxospores consist of shell valves, polar capsules with coiled polar tubules that are extrudible, and infective amoeboid germs. Myxozoan parasites are most abundant, and due to their increasing number in recent years, they can pose an emerging threat to the fish industry worldwide.
