Modern perspectives of heavy metals alleviation from oil contaminated soil: A review.

Heavy metal poisoning of soil from oil spills causes serious environmental problems worldwide. Various causes and effects of heavy metal pollution in the soil environment are discussed in this article. In addition, this study explores new approaches to cleaning up soil that has been contaminated with heavy metals as a result of oil spills.

Identification and Characterization of Phytocyanin Family Genes in Cotton Genomes.

Phytocyanins (PCs) are a class of plant-specific blue copper proteins that have been demonstrated to play a role in electron transport and plant development. Through analysis of the copper ligand residues, spectroscopic properties, and domain architecture of the protein, PCs have been grouped into four subfamilies: uclacyanins (UCs), stellacyanins (SCs), plantacyanins (PLCs), and early nodulin-like proteins (ENODLs). The present study aimed to identify and characterise the PCs present in three distinct cotton species (, , and ) through the identification of 98, 63, and 69 genes respectively.

Genomic Insight into Differentiation and Selection Sweeps in the Improvement of Upland Cotton.

Upland cotton is the most economically important fibre crop. The human-mediated selection has resulted in modern upland cultivars with higher yield and better fibre quality. However, changes in genome structure resulted from human-mediated selection are poorly understood.

Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis to Identify the Genes Related to Delayed Gland Morphogenesis in .

Cotton is one of the major industrial crops that supply natural fibers and oil for industries. This study was conducted to understand the mechanism of delayed gland morphogenesis in seeds of . In this study, we compared glandless seeds of with glanded seeds of .
