Soil depletion is occurring at an unprecedented rate as a result of salinity. Salinity is an emerging global issue which significant harm cotton productivity. In this situation, cotton requires long-term development; various salinity mitigation strategies can lead to long-term cotton economic output. Developing resilient cotton varieties is the first step in overcoming this long-term challenge. Numerous researchers are eager to improve various strategies (by applying modern biological tools) so that of cotton can combat the many threats face through its life cycle. Cotton's plant adaptation can be established by utilizing a variety of biotechnological methods. The improvement of suitable field conditions for optimum crop development is also taken into account; fertilizer application, good quality water supply and soil reclamation are all necessary to reduce saline situations and improve cotton output.","PeriodicalId":303968,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Innovations in Agricultural Sciences","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125973187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Genomic characterization is imperative to explore inherent potential of animal species for targeted improvement in performance traits. This study aimed to perform comparative genomic characterization and sequence analysis of casein genes family (CSN1S1, CSN1S2, CSN2 and CSN3) in Bos taurus and Bubalus bubalis. Phylogenetic, motif, conserved domain and gene structure analyses discovered evolutionarily conserved nature of these genes in cattle and buffalo. Results indicated that casein proteins were thermostable and hydrophilic, although αs1, β, and κ caseins showed acidic behavior except for αs2-casein that was somewhat basic. The present study revealed lower distribution of transcription binding (TFB) sites particularly CAP, GATA, HSF2 and LMO2COM in Bubalus bubalis as compared to Bos taurus which might have potential effects on the transcription and translational efficiencies of casein genes in Bos taurus. However, functional studies are required to evaluate the effects of these TFB sites on regulation of casein genes expression in Bos taurus and Bubalus bubalis.","PeriodicalId":303968,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Innovations in Agricultural Sciences","volume":"139 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121361834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mohy-Ud-Din, Maheen Shafaq","doi":"10.22194/jgias/10.1000","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22194/jgias/10.1000","url":null,"abstract":"A hernia is an abnormal protrusion of a tissue or a complete organ through the wall of the cavity in which it is normally present. Surgically, hernias can be repaired using two techniques which is herniorrhaphy and hernioplasty. In herniorrhaphy, hernial ring is closed only by suturing ring, while in hernioplasty hernial ring is closed by some external aid. Different types of synthetic mesh materials are being used in hernioplasty which exceed the cost of treatment and burden on low-income farmers. To overcome this set back present study was planned with the objective to evaluate potential use of mosquito net as an alternative to mesh material in hernia repair. To achieve this, 20 rabbits were included in the study. After preparing the animals for aseptic surgery and anaesthesia, a wall defect (11x4cm) was created in ventral abdomen. Afterwards the animals were divided into two equal groups. For the wall defect of group 1 commercially available mesh was used while mosquito net was used for same purpose in rabbits of group 2. The efficacy of both the materials was compared using macroscopy parameters, ultrasonographic evaluation and histopathological examination of healed tissue. The data generated was subjected to statistical analysis using chi-square technique. The findings showed that the strength, type and extent of adhesions were non-significant (p>0.05) in both groups on day 15 as well as on day 30th. There were no recurrences, and the mesh was well-integrated into the host tissue in both the groups. Nylon mosquito net used in the current study to repair hernia defect gave almost similar results as that with commercially available mesh and the statistical results were also insignificant. Considering the findings of the study it is concluded that as mosquito net used for repair of induced abdominal wall defect resulted into comparatively equal results to commercially available mesh with minimal to no tissue reaction, almost similar tissue healing histopathologically and no difference on ultrasonographic (USG) examination makes mosquito net a suitable and economical replacement for commercial mesh.","PeriodicalId":303968,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Innovations in Agricultural Sciences","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132851017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It hampers the growth and productivity of crops via ionic imbalance, disturbance in the metabolic process and specific ions toxicity. The necessity of time is to introduce better organic amendment rates for its mitigation in cereal crops, especially maize. Therefore, a pot experiment was performed in the wirehouse of the Saline Agriculture Research Centre (SARC), University of Agriculture, Faisalabad to evaluate the effect of farmyard manure and compost application rates in saline soil. A hybrid maize variety (Monsanto DK-6789) was sown and recommended doses of NPK were applied. Organic amendments (FYM and Compost) with their rates (recommended, 25% increased dose of recommended and 50% increased dose of recommended) were applied to assess the growth of hybrid maize with salinity levels (Control < 2dS m-1, moderate salinity_5dS m-1, High salinity_10dS m-1). Seven treatments each with three replicates were carried out by using Complete Randomized Design (CRD). The results of the study indicated that T4 (50% increased farmyard manure) and T7 (50% increased compost) were significantly varied in controlling the shoot and root length, shoot and root fresh weight and dry weight of maize over control at <2, 5 and 10 dS m-1 EC. A significant increase of 32, 28 and 39% in chlorophyll contents of maize validated the efficacious functioning of T4 over control for alleviation of <2, 5 and 10 dS m-1 salinity. Similarly, significant enhancement of 48, 39 and 84% in root fresh weight also declared that T7 was a better treatment under <2, 5 and 10 dSm-1 salinity. In conclusion, T4 and T7 can be used and recommended for better alleviation of salinity stress in maize. More experiments are suggested at the field level by using these 2 application rates of farmyard manure and compost for declaration of modified amendment for salinity stress mitigation.","PeriodicalId":303968,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Innovations in Agricultural Sciences","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133085227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
