The clinical characteristics and risk factors of COVID-19 exhibit considerable variability, leading to a spectrum of clinical severity. Moreover, the likelihood of exposure to the virus may differ based on comorbidity status as comorbid illnesses have mechanisms that can considerably increase mortality by reducing the body's ability to withstand injury. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is essential for orchestrating innate immune cell defense, including cytokine production and is dysregulated in severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) individuals. Through genome-wide, association studies, numerous genetic variants in the human host have been identified that have a significant impact on the immune response to SARS-CoV-2. To identify potentially significant genetic variants in Covid-19 patients that could affect the risk, severity, and clinical outcome of the infection, this study has used whole-exome sequencing (WES) on the 16 COVID-19 patients with varying comorbidities and severity of the disease including fatal outcomes. Among them, 8 patients made a full recovery and were discharged, while 8 patients unfortunately did not survive due to the severity of the illness and majority of them were males. The study identified 10,204 variants in the patients. From 1120 variants, which were chosen for novel variant analysis using mutation, function prediction tools to identify deleterious variants that could affect normal gene function, 116 variants of 57 genes were found to be deleterious. These variants were further classified as likely pathogenic and variants of uncertain significance. The data showed that among the likely pathogenic variants five genes were identified in connection to immune response whereas two were related to respiratory system. The common variants associated with the covid-19 phenotype showed the top 10 significant genes identified in this study such as ERCC2, FBXO5, HTR3D, FAIM, DNAH17, MTOR, IGHMBP2, ZNF530, QSER1, and FOXRED2 with variant rs1057079 of the MTOR gene representing the highest odds ratio (1.7, p = 8.7e-04). The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway variant rs1057079 was reported with high odds ratio, may orchestrate innate immune cell defense, including cytokine production, and is dysregulated. This study concluded that the mTOR signaling gene variant (rs1057079) is associated with different degrees of covid-19 severity and is essential for orchestrating innate immune cell defense including cytokine production. Inhibiting mTOR and its corresponding deleterious immune responses with medicinal approaches may provide a novel avenue for treating severe COVID-19 illness. Besides the PPI network exhibited a significantly high local clustering coefficient of 0.424 (p = 0.000536), suggesting the presence of tightly knit functional modules.

The evaluated traits included postharvest physiological deterioration response (PPD), root length (RL), root diameter (RD), root weight (RW), dry matter content (DMC), total starch content (TS) and total sugar content (TSU). All the traits had a higher phenotypic variance component than genetic or environmental variance, with genotypic variance making up a larger portion of the total phenotypic variance. Heritability estimates ranged from low to high, with high heritability values being recorded for dry matter content, PPD, and root diameter. The study discovered high genotypic coefficients of variation (CVg) for PPD, root weight and diameter, indicating strong genotypic variability beneficial for selection. As larger genetic effects than non-genetic effects lead to increased selection gains, the highest CVr values for dry matter content and PPD suggest the biggest probability of selection gain. Postharvest Physiological deterioration (PPD) had the highest genetic advance, indicating significant gain in the following generation.

This extensive investigation was conducted across three distinct planting environments, ultimately identifying a comprehensive repertoire of 27 discernible QTLs. These QTLs were mapped onto four distinct linkage groups (LG), namely LG1, LG5, LG6, and LG7, which explained 3.11%-37.85% phenotypic variation.

To this end, the present work employed computational analyses to identify potential hnRNP orthologs in eighty eukaryotic species, and their interactors. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis of the biological processes influenced by hnRNP interactomes showed alternative splicing and splicing regulation to be commonly associated with most species, while a few processes were uniquely associated with particular species. Further studies of the clustering patterns of the top-ranking hub nodes of the hnRNP protein networks revealed a notable clustering pattern of hnRNP K orthologs from five species.

Chickpea production is threatened by several abiotic and biotic factors worldwide. The main constraints limiting worldwide chickpea production are abiotic conditions such as drought, heat, salinity, and cold. It is clear that chickpea is treasured for its nutritive value, in particular its high protein content, and hence study of problems like drought, cold and salinity stresses are very important concerning chickpeas. In this regard, several physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms are reviewed to confer tolerance to abiotic stress. The most crippling economic losses in agriculture occur due to these abiotic stressors, which affect plants in many ways. All these abiotic stresses affect the water relations of the plant, both at the cellular level as well as the whole-plant level, causing both specific and non-specific reactions, damage and adaptation reactions. These stresses share common features. Breeding programs use a huge collection of over 100,000 chickpea accessions as their foundation. Significant advancements in conventional breeding, including mutagenesis, gene/allele introgression, and germplasm introduction, have been made through this method. Abiotic tolerance and yield component selection are made easier by creating unique DNA markers for the genus Cicer, which has been made possible by developments in high-throughput sequencing and molecular biology. Transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics have also made it possible to identify particular genes, proteins, and metabolites linked to chickpea tolerance to abiotic stress. Chickpea abiotic stress tolerance has been directly and potentially improved by biotechnological applications, which are covered by all 'Omics' approaches. It requires information on the abiotic stress response at the different molecular levels, which comprises gene expression analysis for metabolites or proteins and its impact on phenotype.
