Ore beneficiation results in the production of finely ground tailings after the extraction of minerals. In recent decades, the production of mine tailings has expanded due to the growing demand for minerals. The tailings ...
Malaria is a severe disease that is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes and caused by the Plasmodium parasite. Despite a decrease in mortality rate, it continues to pose significant challenges such as resistance to ...
Copy number variations (CNVs) in the Plasmodium vivax genome can influence key parasite traits such as erythrocyte invasion, immune evasion, drug resistance, and survival in the human host. Their potential role in severe ...
Mitochondria in Plasmodium vivax are functionally vital despite possessing a highly reduced genome and differing substantially from the human organelle. Beyond their classical role in energy production, they dynamically ...
Antibiotic resistance in bacteria has become a major concern for the effective treatment of infections; therefore, alternatives to antibiotics are being extensively researched to combat drug-resistant microbes. In this ...
The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) BBX family comprises several positive and negative regulators of photomorphogenesis. BBX24, a member of BBX structural group IV, acts as a negative regulator of photomorphogenesis, ...
BBX proteins are a family of zinc finger transcription factors that are versatile regulators of plant development. The 32 BBX proteins in Arabidopsis are subdivided into five structural groups based on their domain structure. ...
Plant development is meticulously modulated by interactions between the surrounding environment and the endogenous phytohormones. Light, as an external signal coordinates with the extensive networks of hormones inside the ...
The bZIP transcription factor ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5) represents a major hub in the light-signaling cascade both under visible and UV-B light. The mode of transcriptional regulation of HY5, especially under UV-B light, ...
Photomorphogenesis is an important developmental process that helps the seedlings adapt to external light conditions. B-Box proteins are a family of transcription factors that regulate photomorphogenic responses. BBX31 ...
Under acute stress conditions, precocious seedling development may result in the premature death of young seedlings, before they switch to autotrophic growth. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) inhibits seed germination ...
Light plays an important role in plants’ growth and development throughout their life cycle. Plants alter their morphological features in response to light cues of varying intensity and quality. Dedicated photoreceptors ...
Seed germination and postgermination seedling establishment are crucial early developmental events in angiosperms. Although the demarcations between these two successive events appear to be elusive, they have been defined ...
Nanoparticles are being formed continuously in processes like mineralization, natural calamities, and geological recycling of matter and present naturally in the environment. In the recent past, nanoparticles and their ...
Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a crucial role in plant development, regulating germination, seedling development and stomatal movements, especially under adverse conditions. Light interacts with the ABA signalling pathway to ...
Light is one of the most important environmental signals, which has a profound impact on plant growth and development. Once a seed germinates, the proper emergence and establishment of the seedling into an autotrophic ...
Abiotic stress conditions such as drought, salinity, and flood challenge agricultural production worldwide by adversely affecting crop growth and yield. Plants inherently possess sophisticated response mechanisms for ...
Shade avoidance is a remarkable example of the plasticity exhibited by plants in response to environmental signals. Shade-avoiding plants need to perform an array of morphogenic adjustments upon the sensing of changes in ...
Climate change has intensified the damage caused to agricultural production by abiotic stress conditions such as drought, salinity, freezing, and flooding. More comprehensive understanding of plant stress tolerance mechanisms ...
Plants possess intricate mechanisms to adjust their growth and development in response to the changes in the quality and quantity of environmental light. Specialized photoreceptors perceive discrete wavelengths of light ...
