SUMOylation machinery protein, PIAS4 role in breast cancer cell proliferation and drug sensitivity - Mohammed A. M. Salih; Mohamed M. A. E. L. Salem; Muhammad Ali Shahid; Hussein A. S. Elrewey; Ritchie Williamson; Sriharsha Kantamneni (Molecular Biology Reports, 2026)
Purpose Breast cancer is a significant global health issue, with resistance to doxorubicin (DOX) posing a major challenge to effective treatment. SUMOylation, a post-translational modification process, is linked to cancer progression and therapy resistance. PIAS4, a SUMO E3 ligase involved in maintaining genome stability and stress response, may play a role in these mechanisms. However, its function in breast cancer progression and DOX resistance remains uncertain. This study investigates the potential role of PIAS4 in mediating DOX resistance in breast cancer. Methods and results Naked mole-rats (NMRs) are cancer-resistant rodents with improved genome maintenance, yet the role of SUMOylation in this trait remains unclear. SUMOylation machinery gene expression levels are investigated using qPCR in NMR tissue in comparison with carcinogenic breast cancer (MCF-7) cell line. Functional studies are performed in MCF-7 cells overexpressing PIAS4 to demonstrate effects on proliferation, invasion, drug sensitivity, and protein expression in the presence and absence of DOX treatment. While most SUMOylation genes were expressed at low levels in NMR intestinal tissues, PIAS4 showed higher expression compared to MCF-7 cells. PIAS4 overexpression in MCF-7 cells significantly decreases colony formation, invasiveness, and resistance to DOX. Western blot analysis showed downregulated Bcl-2 protein levels after DOX treatment, indicating a potential role in apoptosis evasion. Conclusion PIAS4 expression level plays a role in breast cancer cell survival, invasiveness, and chemoresistance, partly by altering anti-apoptotic pathways. These findings position PIAS4 as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for overcoming resistance to anthracycline-based therapies in breast cancer.

Monitoring Extent of Mangroves in Coastal Bangladesh from 1980 to 2020: A Remote Sensing-Based Geospatial Analysis - Muhammad Al-Amin Hoque; Maliha Sanzana Misty; Khandaker Tanvir Hossain; Sharif A. Mukul (Small-scale Forestry, 2026)
Mangrove ecosystems play a vital role in coastal protection, biodiversity conservation, and climate regulation, yet their spatiotemporal dynamics within highly geomorphologically active deltaic environments remain insufficiently understood. This study aimed to map long-term changes in mangrove distribution, quantify mangrove gain and loss patterns, identify dominant land-cover transition pathways, and evaluate the influence of erosion–accretion processes on mangrove dynamics in the Meghna Estuary of coastal Bangladesh using a remote sensing-based geospatial framework spanning 1980–2020. Multi-temporal Landsat imagery was processed through standardized pre-processing, NDVI analysis, and supervised Maximum Likelihood land-use/land-cover classification to quantify mangrove extent, spatial trajectories, and gain–loss dynamics. Post-classification change detection and trajectory analysis were employed to evaluate transitions between mangrove, waterbody, vegetation, and agricultural classes. Results reveal a highly dynamic coastal system characterized by alternating phases of mangrove expansion and contraction primarily driven by erosion–accretion processes. Mangrove cover exhibited a net increase of 158.9 km 2 over four decades, with major gains occurred during 1990–1995 and 2000–2005, primarily due to sediment deposition and natural colonization on newly formed mudflats. Conversely, notable declines between 2005 and 2016 were associated with shoreline erosion and channel migration. Land-trajectory analysis highlights dominant waterbody-to-mangrove transitions, emphasizing the importance of geomorphological processes in shaping ecosystem regeneration and resilience. Despite overall expansion, continuous spatial redistribution indicates ecosystem fragility, with gains concentrated on accretion-prone surfaces and losses along erosion-prone margins. The findings provide the first comprehensive four-decade spatial assessment of mangrove dynamics in the Meghna Estuary, offering critical evidence for adaptive coastal management, ecosystem restoration, and nature-based climate mitigation in Bangladesh.

Key message Duckweeds offer a suitable platform to study the effects of elevated temperatures on aquatic plants, and chlorophyll fluorescence imaging can reveal frond-level distribution of temperature stress. Abstract Temperature rise associated with climate change poses a major challenge for aquatic plants. It has a strong influence on their physiological performance and, consequently, their competitive ability and fitness. Yet comparative studies of impacts on different species remain scarce. This study investigated the effects of four different temperature regimes between 20 and 35 °C on five duckweed species ( Spirodela polyrhiza , Landoltia punctata , Lemna gibba , Lemna minor and Lemna minuta ) by integrating growth- and photosynthesis-based parameters. We also recorded spatial patterns of photosystem II efficiency within fronds using chlorophyll a fluorescence imaging to understand how temperature stress is distributed throughout the frond development. The results highlighted substantial inter-specific variation in thermal responses and underscore the importance of integrating physiological and growth-based indicators to predict aquatic plants’ responses to climatic warming. Through simultaneous measurement of growth performance, photosynthetic efficiency and within-frond heterogeneity, this study provides mechanistic insights into how rising temperatures may influence duckweeds. Such knowledge is essential for predicting future shifts in freshwater primary productivity, species dominance, biological invasions and ecosystem stability under the current global warming scenario.

The Asia region harbors exceptional chondrichthyan (shark, ray, and chimaera) diversity but faces intense fishing pressure. The Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) process provides a collaborative, evidence-based framework to identify critical habitats and inform spatial management. We assessed ISRAs across the Bay of Bengal, Southeast Asia, and the Northwest Pacific to characterize their extent, ecological significance, and conservation relevance. We delineated 122 ISRAs spanning ~ 1 million km 2 (~ 3% of the region) across 12 jurisdictions and international waters, encompassing habitats for 121 species (~ 30% of Asia’s chondrichthyans), 76% of which are threatened. Depleted taxa (e.g., giant guitarfishes, Glaucostegidae) were represented, but charismatic megafauna (e.g., Whale Shark Rhincodon typus ) were overrepresented. In contrast, deepwater and freshwater species were underrepresented. Reproductive Areas were the most common ISRA sub-criterion applied (52% of ISRAs), largely in nearshore zones, while areas for range-restricted species were less frequently (18%) identified. Twelve ISRAs overlapped with biodiversity hotspots, including seven in areas of high overall chondrichthyan species richness and five in areas of high range-restricted species richness. Citizen science was the predominant research method used to delineate ISRAs, while fisheries data were underused despite the region’s major fisheries footprint. Geographic coverage was uneven: Indonesia held the most ISRAs (n = 40; 71.7% of ISRA coverage) while eight jurisdictions (e.g., Viet Nam, China, Republic of Korea) lacked ISRAs due to data gaps. Protection shortfalls are stark: MPAs cover

(Fishes, 2026)
Small-scale fisheries constitute the backbone of coastal livelihoods in Indonesia, yet comprehensive socio-economic data remain limited for effective management. This study characterizes the operational and socioeconomic patterns of multi-gear artisanal fisheries in the Pangandaran coastal waters of West Java, Indonesia. A cross-sectional survey of 136 fishers across 14 coastal communities was conducted using structured questionnaires covering socio-demographic characteristics, fishing operations, and catch composition. Complete economic data were available for 125 fishermen, while multivariate analyses used n = 105 due to listwise deletion of cases with missing predictor variables. Fishermen averaged 46.9 years of age with 25.8 ± 11.6 years of fishing experience. Mean monthly income was IDR 5.80 million (SD = 7.51, 95% CI: 4.47–7.13 million, approximately USD 387). Gillnet was the dominant fishing gear (73.5% of fishermen), followed by hook-and-line (14.7%). A total of 57 fish species were recorded, dominated by hairtail Trichiurus spp. (61.0% occurrence). Statistical analyses revealed weak relationships between conventional demographic and operational variables and income. Although crew number showed a statistically significant association with income (p = 0.039), its effect size was small, and the overall regression model was not significant, with very low explanatory power (R2 = 0.038). These results indicate that income variability is largely driven by unmeasured and context-specific factors rather than observable fishing characteristics. These findings provide baseline socio-economic data essential for developing community-specific management interventions in Pangandaran waters.

Variable Rate Irrigation Through Digital Agriculture for Sustainable Water Management: A Meta Review on Current Challenges and Future Directions - Nauman Yaqoob; Aitazaz A. Farooque; Syed Hamid Hussain Shah; Farhat Abbas; Muhammad Hassan (Water Resources Management, 2026)
Efficient agricultural water management is essential due to increasing pressure on global water resources. To support environmentally sustainable farming water management, a detailed review of existing research on data-driven irrigation systems is conducted. The review paper reviews present advancements, challenges, and future directions based on extensive peer-reviewed studies on variable-rate irrigation (VRI), machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning techniques, smart sensing technologies, state-of-the-art control systems, and coupled frameworks. To ensure transparency and reproducibility, studies were selected through a systematic search of major research databases (such as Dimensions AI, Web of Science, and Scopus) using key keywords. The inclusion criteria required that studies be peer-reviewed, published in English between 2000 and 2023, and specifically address precision irrigation techniques, control strategies, or implementation methods relevant to VRI. Conference proceedings and high-impact journal articles were prioritized. This review focuses on three central components of precision irrigation: (1) development of prescription maps, (2) innovative control strategies, and (3) realistic implementation of VRI systems. To improve the efficiency and flexibility of modern irrigation systems, the paper identifies emerging knowledge gaps and proposes innovative pathways to address them. The study describes a new methodology through a case study on developing irrigation prescription maps. Precision irrigation, especially when supported by VRI and state-of-the-art AI technologies, has shown considerable potential to improve water productivity. This approach assists researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders in designing, comparing, and executing sustainable irrigation strategies.

Integrated hydrogeochemical and multivariate statistical assessment of groundwater in Gashua, northeastern Nigeria: implications for arid zone aquifer management - Abdussalam Muhammad Auwal; Martins Uchenna Obidiegwu; Mohammed Yerima Kwaya; Ogechukwu Anastasia Ben-Owope; Josephmartin Izuchukwu Korie; Abdurrasheed Yusuf Muhammad; Musaab A.

Groundwater is the primary source of potable and irrigation water in Gashua, Northeastern Nigeria, where arid climatic conditions limit surface water availability. Unlike previous studies in the Chad Basin that focused on limited chemical parameters, this study applies integrated geospatial modelling and multivariate statistics to delineate hydrochemical facies and anthropogenic hotspots in a semi-arid aquifer. Twenty-five groundwater samples were analyzed for pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, major cations (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺, K⁺), and anions (Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, NO₃⁻, HCO₃⁻). Results showed pH values from 5.7 to 7.9, EC between 415 and 1464 µS/cm, and TDS from 265.6 to 937.0 mg/L. 80% (20/25) of the samples exceeded the Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) limit for hardness. Piper and Durov diagrams revealed Ca²⁺–Mg²⁺–Cl⁻–SO₄²⁻ and Ca²⁺–Mg²⁺–HCO₃⁻ facies, reflecting carbonate and sulphate dissolution, cation exchange, and evaporative concentration. Spatial analysis delineated recharge zones in the north and discharge zones in the south, with higher salinity and nitrate levels in peri-urban areas. Nitrate ranged from 10.8 to 88 mg/L, with one sample exceeding the World Health Organization (WHO) limit of 50 mg/L; sampling was conducted during the dry season. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) explained 79% of total variance and identified mineralization, pH buffering, and nitrate pollution as key processes. Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) classified wells into recharge, transitional, and discharge zones. Irrigation suitability assessed by SAR, Na⁺%, PI, KR, and MH confirmed that most samples are suitable, though moderate salinity (C2S1) and isolated sodicity risks highlight the need for site-specific management. These findings emphasize the vulnerability of groundwater to both natural geochemical evolution and human activities. The integrated hydrogeochemical and multivariate approach provides actionable implications: protecting recharge areas in the north, routine surveillance of southern salinity and nitrate hotspots, and tailored farmer advisories for irrigation practices. Such measures are critical for sustainable aquifer management in arid regions.
