Genetic diversity and infectivity analysis of tomato yellow leaf curl virus Oman and its associated betasatellite.

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus-Oman (TYLCV-OM),  a variant of the Tomato yellow leaf curl virus-Iran (TYLCV-IR) strain, was identified in 2005 as the cause of tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD) in Oman and is  associated with a betasatellite namely as Tomato leaf curl betasatellite (ToLCB). Surveys were carried out from three diverse Governorates of Oman to investigate the correlation between the betasatellite and the virus. The visual assessment and scoring of infected tomato plants in the field revealed that the association of betasatellite with the disease was highest in Sharqia at 77%, followed by Dakhlia at41% and lowest in Batinah at30% .

Successful eradication of acquired factor VIII inhibitors with rituximab: a report of two cases.

Objectives: Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare autoimmune disorder that presents with spontaneous bleeding due to the development of autoantibodies against coagulation factor VIII. This study aims to highlight the challenges in diagnosing and treating AHA, particularly through presenting two cases managed with rituximab, an anti-CD20 antibody, to demonstrate its safety and efficacy as a treatment option.

Methods: Two male patients, aged 38 and 68, with significant bleeding episodes and prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), were evaluated.

Evolutionary Relationships of Omani , .

A study was conducted to investigate the evolutionary relationships of from Oman, in the southeastern part of the Arabian Peninsula. Sequences of the mitochondrial and the nuclear large-subunit ribosomal RNA (LSU rRNA, ) genes were used to investigate the populations of across their distribution in Oman to determine their relationships with other species. Our findings indicate that in Oman is a member of an East African clade, distinct from those in West Africa.

A novel bacterial effector protein mediates ER-LD membrane contacts to regulate host lipid droplets.

Effective intracellular communication between cellular organelles occurs at dedicated membrane contact sites (MCSs). Tether proteins are responsible for the establishment of MCSs, enabling direct communication between organelles to ensure organelle function and host cell homeostasis. While recent research has identified tether proteins in several bacterial pathogens, their functions have predominantly been associated with mediating inter-organelle communication between the bacteria containing vacuole (BCV) and the host endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Benzimidazole-acrylonitrile hybrid derivatives act as potent urease inhibitors with possible fungicidal activity.

A series of benzimidazole-acrylonitrile derivatives were designed with urease inhibition approach. were synthesized and characterized (H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), C NMR, Mass Spectroscopy (MS) and IR) and subjected to urease inhibition assay using commercial assay kit. A molecular docking study was also performed using Autodock tool software.

Silver decorated zeolite embedded in bionanocomposite hydrogels based on cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose for excellent catalytic hydrogenation of azo dyes.

Herein, bionanocomposite beads based on Carboxymethyl cellulose/Dextrant sulfate (CMC/DS) embedding silver nanoparticle-functionalized zeolite (AgZ) were developed and proposed as catalysts for catalytic hydrogenation of Direct Red 16 (DR16) azo dye under different experimental parameters. The obtained results showed that AgZ incorporation into the polymer matrix produced highly porous structures with improved thermal stability. For antibacterial application, it was shown that the engineered bionanocomposites were effective against all tested bacteria.

Global citrus root microbiota unravels assembly cues and core members.

Introduction: Citrus is one of the most important fruit crops worldwide, and the root-associated microbiota can have a profound impact on tree health and growth.

Methods: In a collaborative effort, the International Citrus Microbiome Consortium investigated the global citrus root microbiota with samples collected from nine citrus-producing countries across six continents. We analyzed 16S rDNA and ITS2 amplicon sequencing data to identify predominant prokaryotic and fungal taxa in citrus root samples.

Pythium and Globisporangium species associated with cucumber rhizosphere causing damping-off and their effects on cucumber seed decay in Oman.

Pythium sensu lato (s.l.) is a pathogenic oomycete.

SeasVeg: An image dataset of Bangladeshi seasonal vegetables.

Seasonal vegetables play a crucial role in both nutrition and commerce in Bangladesh. Recognizing this significance, our research introduces the 'SeasVeg' dataset, comprising images of ten varieties of seasonal vegetables sourced from Dhaka and Pabna regions. These include .

Paddy insect identification using deep features with lion optimization algorithm.

Pests are a significant challenge in paddy cultivation, resulting in a global loss of approximately 20 % of rice yield. Early detection of paddy insects can help to save these potential losses. Several ways have been suggested for identifying and categorizing insects in paddy fields, employing a range of advanced, noninvasive, and portable technologies.

Rice Weevil ( L.) Gut Bacteria Inhibit Growth of and Degrade Aflatoxin B1.

In this study, bacteria residing in the gut of the rice weevils ( L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) feeding on aflatoxin-contaminated corn kernels were isolated and evaluated for their ability to suppress and to remove/degrade aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). Four morphologically distinct gut-associated bacterial isolates were isolated and identified as (RWGB1), (RWGB2), (RWGB3), and (RWGB4) based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis.

Exposure to secondary traumatic stress and its related factors among emergency nurses in Saudi Arabia: a mixed method study.

Background: Emergency department (ED) nurses are exposed to the risk of secondary traumatic stress (STS), which poses a threat not only to nurses' health and psychological well-being but also adversely affects the execution of their professional duties. The quality and outcome of their nursing services are negatively affected by STS.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to comprehensively investigate the prevalence and intensity of Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) among Emergency Department (ED) nurses.

Two new species of (Agaricales, Agaricaceae) from Oman, based on morphology and molecular phylogeny.

has small to medium-sized mushrooms and the cap surface with squamulose pellicles, consisting of hymeniform or pseudoparenchymatous cells and yellowish-brown basidiospores. The species of are very similar to those of and it is extremely difficult to differentiate the species of both genera in the field. However, phylogenetically, both the genera are clearly distinct.

Biocontrol Potential of Trichoderma Ghanense and Trichoderma Citrinoviride toward .

-induced damping-off of cucumber is a major constraint to cucumber production in different parts of the world. Although chemical fungicides are used for managing this disease, they have many drawbacks to the environment.

The novel bacterial effector protein EPF1 mediates ER-LD membrane contacts to regulate host lipid droplet metabolism.

Effective intracellular communication between cellular organelles is pivotal for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Tether proteins, which are responsible for establishing membrane contact sites between cell organelles, enable direct communication between organelles and ultimately influence organelle function and host cell homeostasis. While recent research has identified tether proteins in several bacterial pathogens, their functions have predominantly been associated with mediating inter-organelle communication specifically between the bacteria containing vacuole (BCV) and the host endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
