Mutations in SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA identified in Eastern India: Possible implications for the ongoing outbreak in India a...

Published in Journal of Biosciences

Direct massively parallel sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 genome was undertaken from nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swab samples of infected individuals in Eastern India. Seven of the isolates belonged to the A2a clade, while one belonged to the B4 clade. Specific mutations, characteristic of the A2a clade, were also detected, which included the P323L i...

CAV1 is a prognostic predictor for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer

Published in Journal of Biosciences

The extremely high mortality of both lung cancer and Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a global threat. Early detection and diagnosis can reduce their mortality. Since fibrosis is a necessary process of cancer, identifying the common potential prognostic genes involved in these two diseases will significantly contribute to disease prevention a...

Computational gastronomy: A data science approach to food

Published in Journal of Biosciences

Cooking forms the core of our cultural identity other than being the basis of nutrition and health. The increasing availability of culinary data and the advent of computational methods for their scrutiny are dramatically changing the artistic outlook towards gastronomy. Starting with a seemingly simple question, ‘Why do we eat what we eat?’, data-d...

Graph-theoretic constraints on vesicle traffic networks

Published in Journal of Biosciences

Eukaryotic cells use small membrane-enclosed vesicles to transport molecular cargo between intracellular compartments. Interactions between molecules on vesicles and compartments determine the source and target compartment of each vesicle type. The set of compartment and vesicle types in a cell define the nodes and edges of a transport graph known ...

Antifungal potential of Streptomyces rameus GgS 48 against mungbean root rot [Rhizoctonia bataticola (Taub.) Butler]

Published in Journal of Biosciences

Mungbean root rot caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola (Taub.) Butler is the most devastating disease inflicting yield loss up to 60%. The use of beneficial antagonist, viz., Streptomyces with diverse antifungal activity and prolific secondary metabolites production, is the ecofriendly and environmentally acceptable alternative to the existing chemical...

Different stages of disease detection in squash plant based on machine learning

Published in Journal of Biosciences

To increase agriculture production, accurate and fast detection of plant disease is required. Expert advice is needed to detect disease in plants, nutrition deficiencies or any other abnormalities caused by extreme weather conditions. But this process is very tedious, costly, and takes more time. In this paper, hyperspectral imaging and machine lea...

AtOZF1 positively regulates JA signaling and SA-JA cross-talk in Arabidopsis thaliana

Published in Journal of Biosciences

Plant hormones regulate growth, development, and defense against biotic and abiotic stresses. Salicylic acid (SA), ethylene (ET), and jasmonate (JA) are major phytohormones that control the defense against pathogens. SA and JA primarily regulate resistance against biotrophic and necrotrophic pathogens, respectively. NPR1 is the key regulator of SA ...

Hydroxysafflor yellow A can improve depressive behavior by inhibiting hippocampal inflammation and oxidative stress thro...

Published in Journal of Biosciences

Depression is characterized by indifferent and slow thinking, leading to highly unfavorable social and economic burden. Hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA) is a traditional Chinese medicine and has many pharmacological properties, such as anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities. However, the underlying mechanism unraveling the effect of HSYA on ...

Harnessing phytomicrobiome signals for phytopathogenic stress management

Published in Journal of Biosciences

Harnessing the phytomicrobiome offers a great opportunity to improve plant productivity and quality of food. In the recent past, several phytomicrobiome microbes have been explored for their potential involvement in increasing crop yield. This review strategically targets to harness the various dimensions of phytomicrobiome for biotic stress manage...
