Among abiotic factors, the one of the greatest impact on plant stress is high temperature. Therefore, the most important step to take action against the global threat is the development of new temperature tolerant varieties. Barley, which is the fourth most important cereal in the world after wheat, maize, and rice are affected by high ambient temperatures. In this work, the effects of their alone and in double, triple combinations of ten various plant growth regulators (PGRs) on mitotic activity and chromosome behaviors in root meristems of barley exposed to high temperature (30°C) were investigated. In the experiments, Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Bülbül 89 variety and GA3, KIN, BA, E, EBR, TRIA and PAs (Spm, Spd, Put, Cad) as growth regulators were used. The results obtained were compared with each other and with those of the seeds germinated at optimum temperature (20°C). Consequently; it has been determined that most of the PGRs studied, especially the GA3 and their combinations with GA3, exhibit a very successful performance on mitotic activity and cytogenetic aberrations in barley seeds germinated under high temperature stress- HTS conditions. The effects of these PGRs (except for EBR) and their combinations on mitotic activity and chromosome behaviors under HTS have been presented in this study for the first time.","PeriodicalId":9634,"journal":{"name":"Caryologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141669933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is critical to enhance the capability of plant to tolerate salinity stress. For this goal, putrescine and irradiation by gamma radiation were used to improve the salt tolerance of Vicia faba (the most important human crop). The results indicated depression in mitotic division and all growth parameters associated with the induction of micronucleus (MN) when salinity increased to 100mM, while there was increase in mitotic aberrations. NaCl decreased total soluble sugar, while total N%, total free amino acid, proline and protein contents showed slight increase with increasing salinity stress. Putrescine and gamma radiation mitigated the effect of salinity on cell division and growth parameters. Salt stress decreased the expression of gene encoding cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (cdc2). Both putrescine and gamma radiation increased cdc2 expression. The genetic diversity has been detected among control and treated V. faba using ISSR and SCoT markers. Ten primers had successfully generated 129 reproducible polymorphic amplicons that were suitable for studying the genetic diversity between studied genotypes. ISSR markers provided more discriminating data and were more informative than SCoT markers. Besides, cluster analysis using UPGMA and PAC successfully explained the genetic diversity within studied genotypes. These findings emphasize the efficiency of putrescine and gamma radiation for alleviating the negative impact of salt stress. Moreover, prove the importance of assessing mitotic activity, chromosomes behavior, physiological parameters, the expression level of cdc2 and molecular diversity in V. faba under stress to improve the salt tolerance of it.","PeriodicalId":9634,"journal":{"name":"Caryologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141668472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that S. persepolitana and S. spinosa had a chromosome number of 2n=2x=20, while S. sclarea, S. hypoleuca, and S. limbata had a chromosome number of 2n=2x=22. The study of meiotic behavior revealed the presence of abnormalities such as chromosome stickiness, cytomixis, non-synchronous segregation, chromosome bridges, laggard chromosomes, formation of micronuclei in tetrad cells, formation of tripolar cells, and pentapolar with different frequencies in the studied species. The meiotic index was reported as the highest in S. persepolitana and the lowest in S. hypoleuca. Pollen fertility was also affected by meiotic abnormalities, showing a decreasing trend from S. persepolitana to S. spinose.

These chemicals confer neuroprotective, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties to the plant. Pomegranate has specific components that enable its pharmacological actions; one of the functions of pomegranate extracts is to deactivate what is called extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) that makes Escherichia coli (E. coli) resistant to standard antibiotics. Twenty E. coli strains identified as beta-lactamase producers, the strains isolated from urine samples collected from patients with symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) and molecularly characterised using 16S rDNA. The study evaluated the antibiotic sensitivity and antibacterial activities of acetone and ethanolic pomegranate leaf and peel extracts, assessing their antimicrobial susceptibility against nineteen antibiotics. The ehanolic peel (EP) and leave (EL) extracts showed inhibitory potential inhibition zones spanning (9.0-12.6-18.3 mm) against E. coli pathogen producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamase as compared with (10.2-15.3 mm) inhibition scale exhibited by acetone peel (AP) and leave (AL) extracts treatment. Pomegranate leaves and peel extracts contain bioactive compounds with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and other biological effects, and can be fractionated for the identification of new antibacterial bioactive compounds for the development of drugs against ESBL- E. coli, in addition to their synergy with antibiotics for combination therapy that may have effective management and treatment of multidrug-resistant infections such as urinary tract infection.","PeriodicalId":9634,"journal":{"name":"Caryologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141668506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
