Background: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) is the first dominant ubiquitous bacterial species identified from the genus Stenotrophomonas in 1943 from a human source. S.

Rice plants experience various biotic (such as insect and pest attack) and abiotic (such as drought, salt, heat, and cold ) stresses during the growing season, resulting in DNA damage and the subsequent losses in rice production. / is known to be involved in DNA replication and repair. In animals and yeast are well characterized because it has the abilities of both helicase and nuclease, it plays a crucial role in DNA replication in the nucleus and mitochondrial genomes.

Plant cell metabolism inevitably forms an important drought-responsive mechanism, which halts crop productivity. Globally, more than 30% of the total harvested area was affected by dehydration. RNA-seq technology has enabled biologists to identify stress-responsive genes in relatively quick times.

Estrogen circulating in blood has been proved to be a strong biomarker for breast cancer. A β-glucuronidase enzyme (GUS) from human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) microbiota including probiotics has significant involvement in enhancing the estrogen concentration in blood through deconjugation of glucuronidated estrogens. The present project has been designed to explore GIT microbiome-encoded GUS enzymes (GUSOME) repertoire in normal human and breast cancer patients.

Drought is a big challenge for agricultural production. Root attributes are the important target traits for breeding high-yielding sustainable wheat varieties against ever changing climatic conditions. However, the transcriptomic of wheat concerning root architecture remained obscure.

WsMAGO2 a duplicated protein in Withania through interactions with MPF2-like proteins affects male fertility by producing fewer flowers and aborted non-viable pollens/seeds regulated by anther-specific GAATTTGTGA motif. The MAGO NASHIs are highly conserved genes that encode proteins known to be involved in RNA physiology and many other developmental processes including germ cell differentiation in animals. However, their structural and functional implications in plants as fertility function proteins remained fragmented.

Background: Understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying the organismal complexity and origin of novelties during vertebrate history is one of the central goals of evolutionary biology. Ohno (1970) was the first to postulate that whole genome duplications (WGD) have played a vital role in the evolution of new gene functions: permitting an increase in morphological, physiological and anatomical complexity during early vertebrate history.

Results: Here, we analyze the evolutionary history of human FGFR-bearing paralogon (human autosome 4/5/8/10) by the phylogenetic analysis of multigene families with triplicate and quadruplicate distribution on these chromosomes.
