RNAseq of diverse spring wheat cultivars released during last 110 years.

Here, we performed RNA-seq based expression analysis of root and leaf tissues of a set of 24 historical spring wheat cultivars representing 110 years of temporal genetic variations. This huge 130 tissues RNAseq dataset was initially used to study expression pattern of 97 genes regulating root growth and development in wheat. Root system architecture (RSA) is an important target for breeding stress-resilient and high-yielding wheat cultivars under climatic fluctuations.

Uses, preparation and phytochemical analysis of anti-diabetic medicinal plants in the rural Murree (Pakistan).

Medicinal plants in most of societies have been a source of quality health care. The indigenous populations are getting many ethnomedicinal products form local biodiversity. The current study aimed to investigate anti-diabetic plants in 8 villages (Patriata, Surasi, Charhan, Lower toppa, Ghikagali, Kashmir point, Pindi point and Shawala) of rural Murree.

Genome Wide Identification and Comparative Analysis of the Serpin Gene Family in Brachypodium and Barley.

Serpins (serine protease inhibitors) constitute one of the largest and most widely distributed superfamilies of protease inhibitors and have been identified in nearly all organisms. To gain significant insights, a comprehensive in silico analysis of the serpin gene family was carried out in the model plant for temperate grasses and barley using bioinformatic tools at the genome level for the first time. We identified a total of 27 BdSRPs and 25 HvSRP genes in and barley, respectively, showing an unexpectedly high gene number in these model plants.

Identification of novel vaccine candidates against carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae: A systematic reverse proteomic approach.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is declared as antibiotic resistant by WHO, with the critical urgency of developing novel antimicrobial therapeutics as drug resistance is the second most dangerous threat after terrorism. Besides many attempts still, there is no effective vaccine available against K. pneumoniae.

Characterization of bacterial community structure in the rhizosphere of Triticum aestivum L.

The plant microbiome influence plant health, yield and vigor and has attained a considerable attention in the present era. In the current study, native bacterial community composition and diversity colonizing Triticum aestivum L. rhizosphere at two distant geographical locations including Mirpur Azad Kashmir and Islamabad was elucidated.
