A link between evolution and society fostering the UN sustainable development goals.

Given the multitude of challenges Earth is facing, sustainability science is of key importance to our continued existence. Evolution is the fundamental biological process underlying the origin of all biodiversity. This phylogenetic diversity fosters the resilience of ecosystems to environmental change, and provides numerous resources to society, and options for the future.

Mungbean in Central Asia: It went there from East Asia, not South Asia.

The migration and dispersal of organisms is fascinating from many perspectives and, in the case of crop plants, intersects with the movement of human beings. As they explore new areas, agricultural peoples carry seeds of crops, which move and may establish ('diffuse') where they go. In order to understand the movement of the crop across regions, we need to understand the pattern and rate of diffusion of the crop, as well as that of the people involved, both those who carried it and those who adopted it.

Comparative genomics, microsynteny, ancestral state reconstruction and selection pressure analysis across distinctive genomes and sub-genomes of Brassicaceae for analysis of evolutionary history of gene family.

Unlabelled: Any unfavorable condition that affects the metabolism, growth, or development of plants is considered plant stress. The molecular response of plants towards abiotic stresses involves signaling to cellular components, repressing transcription factors, and subsequently induced metabolic changes. Most valine-glutamine (VQ) motif-containing genes in plants encode regulatory proteins that interact with transcription factors and modulate their activity as transcription regulators.

A Double Barrier Technique in Surgical Closure of Oroantral Communication.

Routine minor surgical procedures in the maxillary premolar or molar region often heal without any repercussions; however, some may culminate in an unintentional opening into the maxillary sinus, leading to the formation of oroantral communication. It is, therefore, imperative for a surgeon to recognize it and treat it sequentially to avoid long-term complications. This case report highlights a flapless double membrane closure of oroantral communication (OAC) with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membranes and its edge over conventional methods.

Two unusual conjugated fatty acids, parinaric acid and α-eleostearic acid, are present in several species, but not in congener .

Unlabelled: Parinaric and α-eleostearic acids are unusual conjugated fatty acids. Unusual fatty acids, in general, are known to have roles in defense response; however, the role of parinaric acid in is not known, nor is it known whether it occurs in different species of or its closest monotypic relative, (L.)
