Chromosomal location and collinearity analyses show that 37 <i>HAD</i> expression genes are unevenly distributed on 12 rice chromosomes.

In addition, these rice <i>HAD</i> genes (including four <i>HAD</i> DEGs) exhibit a range of gene structures, cis-elements, motif compositions, and conserved domains that allow them to encode a range of biotic and abiotic stress responses. A docking analysis between oxadiazon and four <i>HAD</i> DEGs reveals amino acid residues implicated in oxadiazon binding. <i>HAD</i> activity in rice roots and shoots is found to be stimulated when 0.05–0.25 mg L<sup>−1</sup> oxadiazon stress is applied, which is 2- and 9.2-fold higher than the control, respectively.

Population research through genetic techniques enhances our understanding of genetic diversity and population structure. Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are the most extensively used markers in population genetics. In the present study, we evaluated the genetic diversity and genetic structure of natural <i>Castanea mollissima</i> populations with specific objectives including evaluating the geographic pattern of genetic diversity of wild Chinese chestnut; identifying spatial population structure and genetic differentiation between geographic locations; and proposing certain Chinese chestnut wild populations as reservoirs of genetic diversity for conservation.

Herein, the paper examines the genetic diversity and population structure of Chinese chestnut (<i>C. mollissima</i>) using nuclear SSRs. We analyzed 252 samples of <i>C. mollissima</i> from 14 populations and 11 different locations via eight multiplex SSR markers. Maps of genetic diversity parameters (e.g., number of alleles or N<sub>A</sub>, expected heterozygosity or H<sub>E</sub>, and private alleles richness or PAr) are generated through geo-statistical Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) to construct a synthetic map that, in turn, reveals the population from Qinling-Daba Mountains possessed the highest genetic diversity (N<sub>A</sub> = 8.3, H<sub>E</sub> = 0.73). The analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) analysis revealed that 89% of the genetic deviation found in <i>C. mollissima</i> exists within individuals and populations as opposed to 11% among different populations. Analysis of the SSRs using STRUCTURE identified five clusters with mixed population genetic structure by geographical location. Our results provide significant insight into the population structure of <i>C. mollissima</i> in China and present geographical locations of different gene pools to support conservation by identifying reservoirs of genetic diversity.

According to International Union for Conservation of Nature classification, the species belongs to the Vulnerable category. In the present study, the species was investigated for its potential utilization for human and cattle feed. Young leaves and immature pods were collected from six different locations in the NWG of India. Pod morphological characters, biochemical, and mineral analysis were conducted. Variability was noted in pod length, pod width, pod weight, and number of developing seeds across all the locations. Biochemical analysis revealed that developing seeds contained higher proteins (24%), amino acids (34%), and starch (49%) content compared to leaves and pod peel. Mineral analysis showed that leaves contained the highest amount of calcium (Ca—28,610 ppm), followed by potassium (K—5179 ppm) and magnesium (Mg—4166 ppm). Developing seeds are rich K (13,958 ppm), followed by phosphorous (P—3828 ppm) and Ca (3502 ppm). Pod peel exhibited very high levels of K (11,552 ppm), followed by Ca (3618 ppm) and Mg (1970 ppm).
