Evaluating the potential of in alleviation of aluminium stress in .

Soil contamination with toxic heavy metals [such as aluminum (Al)] is becoming a serious global problem due to the rapid development of the social economy. Although plant growth-promoting rhizo-bacteria (PGPR) are the major protectants to alleviate metal toxicity, the study of these bacteria to ameliorate the toxic effects of Al is limited. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the combined effects of different levels of (5 ppm and 10 ppm) of accession number of MT123456 on plant growth and biomass, photosynthetic pigments, gas exchange attributes, oxidative stress and response of antioxidant compounds (enzymatic and nonenzymatic), and their specific gene expression, sugars, nutritional status of the plant, organic acid exudation pattern and Al accumulation from the different parts of the plants, which was spiked with different levels of Al [0 µM (i.

Influence of maternal nutrition and one-carbon metabolites supplementation on bovine antimicrobial peptides in fetal and maternal tissues.

Introduction: Maternal nutrition during pregnancy critically influences offspring development and immune function. One-carbon metabolites (OCM) are epigenetic modifiers that may modulate antimicrobial peptide (AMP) expression, which is vital for innate immunity. This study investigated the effects of maternal nutrient restriction and OCM supplementation on mRNA expression of AMP in fetal and maternal lung, mammary gland, and small intestine of beef cattle.

analysis of heavy metals and halogenated compounds in reclaimed water using novel electrospray ionization combined with plasma ionization linear ion trap mass spectrometry.

Water scarcity is a global concern that needs addressing through alternative sources. One of the approaches is the use of reclaimed water for irrigation. However, the presence of halogenated compounds and heavy metals in reclaimed water poses significant food safety threats.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): The nexus of fintech and water productivity in 11 BRICS countries.

In the context of a global water crisis, enhancing water productivity is becoming increasingly crucial. While previous research has predominantly addressed technical and policy aspects of water management, the role of fintech in improving water productivity has not been sufficiently explored. This research investigates the impact of fintech on water productivity, considering the moderating effect of education level.

Intergenerational effects of maternal rate of body weight gain on the multi-omics hepatic profiles of bovine fetuses.

Maternal periconceptual nutrition affects the growth trajectory of developing fetuses by modulating gene expression. The regulatory mechanisms and their role in fetal development remain underexplored in livestock models. Herein, we investigated the effects of maternal rate of body weight (BW) gain during early gestation on the DNA methylation, microRNA profiles, and their interaction with the hepatic gene expression in female fetuses.

Molecular characterization of rotavirus indicates predominance of G9P[4] genotype among children with acute gastroenteritis: First report after vaccine introduction in Pakistan.

Globally, Group A rotavirus (RVA) is the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis in children under 5 years old, with Pakistan having the highest rates of RVA-related morbidity and mortality. The current study aims to determine the genetic diversity of rotavirus and evaluate the impact of Rotarix-vaccine introduction on disease epidemiology in Pakistan. A total of 4749 children, hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis between 2018 and 2020, were tested at four hospitals in Lahore and Karachi.

An improved class of estimators for estimation of population distribution functions under stratified random sampling.

The main objective of the current study is to suggest an enhanced family of log ratio-exponential type estimators for population distribution function (DF) using auxiliary information under stratified random sampling. Putting different choices in our suggested generalized class of estimators, we found some Specific estimators. The bias and MSE expressions of the estimators have been approximated up to the first order.

Energy transition and environmental stability prospects for OECD economies: The prominence role of environmental governance, and economic complexity: Does the geopolitical risk matter?

The global increase in temperature and climate change signals the need for humanity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adopt eco-friendly lifestyles. The 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) in the UAE emphasized this, urging nations to commit to the Paris Agreement and pursue a greener, carbon-free future. In recent decades, climate change has become a critical issue, primarily because of the extensive use of fossil fuels and conventional energy resources.

Arsenic accumulation pattern in water-soil-rice systems: A study of tolerance mechanisms and associated health risks.

Regardless of the daunting challenge of arsenic (As) contamination in Pakistan, literature on tolerance and responsible factors in paddy fields remain elusive. In this regard, we aimed to explore physiochemical factors responsible for As availability in water-soil-rice systems. The study highlighted rice defense mechanisms to mitigate As toxicity on growth and yield.

Unveiling bone metastasis: Exploring histological subtypes of breast cancer in Indonesia's tertiary referral hospital.

Introduction: The histological grade of a tumor is an important prognostic indicator in both primary breast cancer and metastatic. We aimed to show the distribution of bone metastasis locations across different histological subtypes of breast cancer and how they relate to each.

Methods: The cohort retrospective study comprised 65 patients diagnosed with bone-only metastatic breast cancer, all female.

Influence of Zirconium (Zr) Substitution on the Crystal Structure and Optical and Dielectric Properties of SrMg(SnZr)O Ceramics.

In this work, new compositions of SrMg(SnZr)O 0.00 ≤ ≤ 0.06 ceramics are designed and synthesized by the conventional solid-state route.

A Novel Insight into the Identification of Potential SNP Markers for the Genomic Characterization of Buffalo Breeds in Pakistan.

Domestic buffaloes (), known as water buffaloes, play a key role as versatile multipurpose agricultural animals in the Asiatic region. Pakistan, with the second-largest buffalo population in the world, holds a rich domestication history of buffaloes. The overall trends in buffalo production demand the genomic characterization of Pakistani buffalo breeds.

The construction of green finance and high-quality economic development under China's SDGs target.

The study of top economic growth with the goal of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has become an important issue in the world, and scholars have analyzed high-quality economic development(HED) influencing factors from many perspectives, but there are few studies on green finance(GF) and high-quality economic development(HED). we examine the logical link between green financing and high-quality economic development, as well as the transmission mechanism behind this relationship. Using data from 30 Chinese regions from 2011 to 2021, our empirical study shows that green financing may improve high-quality economic development.

Maternal Mineral Nutrition Regulates Fetal Genomic Programming in Cattle: A Review.

Maternal mineral nutrition during the critical phases of fetal development may leave lifetime impacts on the productivity of an individual. Most research within the developmental origins of the health and disease (DOHaD) field is focused on the role of macronutrients in the genome function and programming of the developing fetus. On the other hand, there is a paucity of knowledge about the role of micronutrients and, specifically, minerals in regulating the epigenome of livestock species, especially cattle.

High platelet count as a predicting factor of histopathological grading among invasive breast cancer individuals: a single centre experience from Indonesia.

Background: The interplay between platelet and breast cancer (BC) pathology may have the potential to represent the malignancy status itself, evidently through predicting the histopathological results of each individual. This study aims to elaborate on the diagnostic value of a higher platelet count or thrombocytosis and the histopathological status of invasive BC in our center, explaining its correlation from the diagnostic perspective.
