Article Synopsis
- * The pigment lutein has shown promise as a potential treatment for NDDs by enhancing brain development, cognitive function, and neuroplasticity while displaying neuroprotective effects against conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
- * Lutein's protective actions include reducing oxidative stress, preventing neuroinflammation, and supporting neurogenesis, suggesting it could be a valuable natural therapeutic agent for combating NDDs.
Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) is a catastrophic disease that causes huge yield losses in papaya cultivation around the world. Yield losses in severely infected plants can be upto 100%. Because of this disease, papaya cultivation has been shifted to other crops in some areas of the world.

Article Synopsis
- * The review highlights the mechanisms by which lactic acid bacteria can effectively degrade various insecticide types, including organochlorines and neonicotinoids, mainly through key enzymes like phosphatase and esterase.
- * Challenges remain in maximizing the use of lactic acid bacteria for bioremediation, and future research is needed to find practical applications for their insecticide degradation capabilities.
Haplotype-based breeding (HBB) is one of the cutting-edge technologies in the realm of crop improvement due to the increasing availability of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms identified by Next Generation Sequencing technologies. The complexity of the data can be decreased with fewer statistical tests and a lower probability of spurious associations by combining thousands of SNPs into a few hundred haplotype blocks. The presence of strong genomic regions in breeding lines of most crop species facilitates the use of haplotypes to improve the efficiency of genomic and marker-assisted selection.
