The aim of this study is to discover the efficacy of various parts of Cordia sinensis plant against some particular pathogens that are recognized to cause diseases and to check antioxidant and bioactive compounds from different parts of plant C. sinensis. Plant extracts were examined by quantification of phytochemical compounds and antimicrobial activity. Phytochemicals and several secondary metabolites were quantified and also qualitatively analyzed in C. sinensis extracts such as phenolic compounds, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, steroids, glycosides, and saponins. Similarly, biochemical primary metabolites like protein, total sugar, and reducing sugar were also estimated in different parts of C. sinensis and these results correlated with antimicrobial activity. This study reveals that acetone extracts of stems, leaves, and roots of the C. sinensis showed excellent antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumonia and also against fungal species Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, and Penicillium notatum.

A set of eighteen F1 and F2 experimental crosses were grown in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. From lines, TD-1 was on top by showing greater and significant general combining ability (GCA) effects for maximum number characters including grain yield in both (F1 and F2) populations, while tester Benazir remained exceptional by showing higher and significant specific combining ability (GCA) effects for majority traits including grain yield in F1 and F2 populations, as a result, both parents would contribute significantly to the improvement of the bread wheat. Regarding the SCA effects in F1 population, the hybrids TD-1 × Pakistan-2013, TJ-83 × Benazir, and NIA-Sundar × NIA-Sarang and from F2 populations, the crosses TD-1 × Benazir, TJ-83 × Benazir, Kiran-95 × NIA-Sarang and NIA-Amber × Pakistan-2013 expressed desirable and maximum SCA effects for number of traits including grain yield, thus may be preferred in future wheat breeding programs. Disease reaction on selected 18 F2 populations was performed, the introgression stripe rust resistance showed single dominant gene. The genetic analysis reported the involvement of major genes for stripe rust resistance. These findings could be used to grow high-yielding wheat lines that could have a profitable yield in stripe rust-prone areas.

In the present study, the response of primary attributes (seedling growth, percent emergence, seedling fresh and dry biomass, and seedling moisture contents) and nutrient contents (Calcium, Magneisum, Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper) of Brassica napus L. was evaluated as a function of glucose-induced priming and salinity. The priming comprised 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minutes of seeds soaking in glucose solution (0.50 M) and salinity stress was simulated by the solutions of 0, 15, 18, 21, and 24 milli Molar (mM) NaCl. The results revealed that doses of salinity induced significant changes in the fresh weight of Brassica napus L. The response of selected nutrients (except Magnesium) as a function of salinity was also highly significant (P≤0.05 %). The salinity doses reduced plants' mineral contents (except Mn) compared to control. The priming of seeds for 90 minutes significantly (P≤0.05 %) enhanced certain early growth traits (plumule growth, radical growth, fresh weight and dry weight) of Brassica napus. On the other hand, for improving germination (%) and moisture contents (%) of Brassica napus, soaking durations of 30 minutes and 60 minutes are more suitable. The pre-soaking of seeds for 60 minutes increased the Calcium, Magnesium and Manganese contents (mg/litre) of Brassica napus. The Iron and Zinc contents (mg/litre) showed hype in seedlings raised from seeds primed for 30 minutes. The priming of seeds for 90 minutes was found to be stimulatory for Copper (mg/litre) only. The influence of factors interaction (treatments × priming durations) on the initial growth attributes and the studied minerals of Brassica napus L. was highly significant (P≤0.05 %). From the gathered evidence, the present study concludes glucose as a potent priming agent that can boost oil-yielding plants' performance under saline conditions.

The experiment was conducted for estimation of the heterosis in F1 hybrids in wheat genotypes. The research was conducted at the experimental field of Seed Production Development Centre, Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam during Rabi growing season 2019-20. The experiment was laid-out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) using three replications. The performance of parents and their hybrids, and heterotic effects were measured in various aspects like earliness characters (days taken to 75% heading, days taken to 75% maturity), morphological and yield traits like plant height, tillers plant-1, yield plant-1, and a physiology related trait; relative water content. The study consisted of six varieties and their six F1 hybrids. The parents used were TD-1, Benazir-2013, TJ-83, Hamal, Imdad-2005, Kiran-95 and their crosses were as TD-1 × Hamal, TD-1 × Benazir-2013, Benazir-2013 × TD-1, TJ-83 × Benazir-2013, TJ-83 × Imdad, Kiran-95 ×Benazir-2013. Results revealed that all the parents and hybrids were highly significant for all the parameters studied at P<0.01 level. The F1 hybrids Benazir-2013 × TD-1, TD-1 × Benazir-2013, TD-1 × Hamal and Kiran -95 × Benazir-2013 had showed better response in mid parent heterosis and heterobeltiosis for most of the traits except plant height. On the basis of current findings, it could be concluded that these cross combinations may be used in bread wheat for yield improvement

Inhibition of ammonia (NH3) volatilization by deaccelerating urea hydrolysis rate in Central Anatolian lands is the indispensable approach for eco-friendly fertilization and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). Nitrogen (N) and zinc (Zn) are critically limited here in alkaline soils. An experiment was conducted under controlled conditions to determine the availability of Zn applied as a solution and bound with polymer palm stearin (PS) coating material as a urease inhibitor. The treatments consisted of urea as a commercial commodity, urea with PS only, urea impregnated with PS and Zn, Zn-coated urea, and Zn in solution (SOL) form. During winter, 2019-20, the experiment was conducted in the glasshouse of the department of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition at Ankara University, Türkiye. Data indicated that Zn with PS and in SOL form produced more growth traits i.e., plant height (130 cm), stem girth (13.2 mm), shoot dry matter (4.63 g plant-1), root dry matter yield (0.61 g plant-1), and chlorophyll (42.16 mg g-1) content (p<0.01). Similarly, we had higher concentration of N (3.19%) and Zn (50.46 mg kg-1) content in maize plants (p<0.01) as compared to control. In conclusion, Zn at the rate of 10 mg kg-1 either in solution or coated with urea seems highly effective to sustain better crop productivity and NUE. While concerning N and Zn content, coated urea with Zn markedly responded as compared to Zn in SOL. Synergism between N and Zn can lead to better fertilizer management

The YABBY gene family is a specific transcription factor for plants and a DNA binding domain that carries out several different functions, such as regulating the length of blooming plant styles and the polarity of lateral organ development. The YABBY gene family members were identified in the watermelon (Citrullus lanatus subsp. vulgaris var. 97103 V1) genome using a set of bioinformatics techniques. Protein motifs, protein architectures, protein sequences, miRNA targets, and tissue-specific expression patterns were all examined. All chromosomes had an uneven distribution of about eight putative YABBY genes. Inner No Outer INO, CRC (Crabs Claw), YAB2, YAB3/AFO, and YAB5 were the five subgroups that the YABBY proteins in watermelon fall within, in accordance with the accepted Arabidopsis categorization which is based on International Standards of Nomenclature. Segmental duplication was more frequent than tandem duplication, and it was predominantly responsible for the growth of the YABBY gene family in watermelon. The results of tissue-specific expression profiling of ClYAABY genes showed that the vast majority of these genes were substantially expressed in roots and seedlings. In this study, cis-regulatory element (CRE) analyses were employed to identify elements in seedlings and roots that are highly responsive to light,wound, drought, auxin, stress, salicylic acid, and abscisic acid (ABA). The findings reveal specific CREs within the promoter regions of genes associated with these responses. Five groups or sub-families have also been identified by comparing the YABBY genes in watermelon and Arabidopsis, however the CRC and YAB2 groups do not share gene pairing among the other groups. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of plant adaptability and stress response mechanisms, with implications for agriculture and plant science.

The considerable risk of adulteration in the herbs has raised commercial interest in the identification of medicinal herbs globally. DNA barcoding is the primary techniques for identifying the herbs at genetic level. This technique's key benefit is that it can identify the material's purity. This study focuses on the accurate identification of species utilizing Polymerase chain reaction-based nuclear universal internal transcribed spacer region (a barcode region) amplification and sequencing in 2 medically significant plants (Rosa damascene and Prunus dulcis) procured from the local herbal market of Karachi in the year 2022. Results suggest that the ribosomal nuclear ITS2 region of the selected plant species shows the 100 % identity with the reference genome, therefore it has shown a good rate of identification at the species level. The findings of this concludes that ITS2 is the novel standard barcode that involve in species identification, genomic conservation, and secure utilization of the medically significant plant species.

Numerous indigenous plants may grow on Pakistan's soil due to its suitable climate. A few of these are now exploited as a source of expensive pharmaceuticals with therapeutic benefits. Since 4000-5000 B.C., people have used these native herbs as medicines. The Cordia gharaf plant is one of them. There are several phytochemicals found in plants, including flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, phenolic compounds, and others, that can protect against disease. Many phytochemicals have a broad range of biological activities that help to protect against chronic illnesses, and around the world, they have been used to treat several different human ailments. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, more than 80% of the world's population uses traditional medicines for treatment and maintaining their health, and many valuable medications have been extracted from these medicinal plants. Therefore, scientific investigation is necessary to make enormous profits from these priceless medicinal plants. Due to the importance of the primary and secondary metabolites produced by these medicinal plants, our purpose includes the idea of examining biologically active components from these plants. Keeping in mind the foregoing, the goal of our research is to examine the phytochemicals from the selected species of Cordia gharaf that have disease-preventive properties.

The current study uses a flame atomic absorption spectrometer to quantify seven trace elements—Chromium (Cr), Cobalt (Co), Zinc (Zn), Manganese (Mn), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), and Calcium (Ca) in canned and raw food products sold in Sukkur and Khairpur, Sindh, Pakistan. Current study results were compared to WHO/FAO maximum and minimum limits. Most samples were contaminated with trace elements (likely from anthropogenic activities, local industries, and brick kilns) and exceeded the allowable limits. Food products had varied metal content. In canned food products, Cr was max in peas (6.99 mg/kg) and min in pineapple (3.08 mg/kg), Co was max in pineapple (3.11 mg/kg) and min in honey (1.50 mg/kg), Zn was max in tamarind (5.77 mg/kg) and min in pineapple and mushroom (2.95 mg/kg), Mn was max in ginger (0.39 mg/kg) and min in pineapple and mangoes (0.24 mg/kg), Na was max in ginger (167 mg/kg) and min in honey (76.7 mg/kg), and K was max in tamarind (4942 mg/kg) and min in honey (76.7 mg In raw food products, Cr was highest in carrot (6.21 mg/kg) and lowest in pineapple (3.08 mg/kg), Co was highest in pineapple (3.24 mg/kg) and lowest in carrot (1.14 mg/kg), Zn was highest in carrot (6.33 mg/kg) and lowest in pineapple and honey (2.96 mg/kg), Mn was highest in ginger (0.41 mg/kg) and lowest in honey (0.24 mg/kg), Na was highest in garlic (202 mg/kg) and lowest in strawberries (65.1 mg/kg), and K was highest in tamarind (4963 mg/kg) and lowest in butter. In conclusion, to ensure public safety, these elements must be monitored in canned and raw food products
