In crop species, nutrient deficiency severely damages plant growth and developmental processes, leading to end-yield penalties. Root architecture remodelling is considered a key factor underpinning nutrient-poor soil environments. Adequate nitrogen (N) supply can play a significant role in sustaining crop productivity on nutrient-deficient soils. However, excessive application of nitrogenous fertilizer may pollute the soil and increase the production cost for the growers. To tackle this problem, crop breeders have made tremendous efforts to improve the N-use efficiency of agricultural crops. This article summarizes the recent progress in identifying QTLs/genes, regulatory pathways, and hormonal crosstalk involved in the growth and development of legumes roots system. Moreover, we have described the progress in microbe–root symbiosis via QTLs/genes regulations, which results in improved N acquisition. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate the root architecture in response to N availability may help to strengthen the root system of legumes and promote environmental friendly and sustainable agriculture.

Transforming Lignin Biomass to Value: Interplay Between Ligninolytic Enzymes and Lignocellulose Depolymerization - Namra Ahmad; Shakira Aslam; Nazim Hussain; Muhammad Bilal; Hafiz M. N. Iqbal (BioEnergy Research, 2023)
Lignin is the main constituent of lignocellulosic biomasses, which have a significant untapped ability to replace ecologically unfavorable and non-renewable fossil fuels. The lignin is broken down by ligninolytic bacteria, which also use a peripheral pathway to transform heterogeneous lignin derivatives into central intermediates like protocatechuate or catechol. By undergoing ring cleavage through the -ketoadipate pathway, these intermediates become metabolites by producing acetyl-CoA for internal product biosynthesis, including the creation of triacylglycerols and polyhydroxyalkanoates. Expanding our understanding of ligninolytic microbial communities, strains, and enzymes through bioprospecting can help us better understand the metabolism of aromatics. The most viable idea for sustainable development is the valorization of lignin into biopolymers as well as other high-value goods. This process is now being used to generate a variety of biopolymers, including polyesters, epoxies, phenol resins, poly (lactic acids), poly hydroxyl alkanoates, and polyurethanes. Furthermore, lignin recalcitrance remained a possible barrier to efficient lignin valorization, prompting several efforts to design high-efficiency bioprocesses to produce specific polymer types as well as other important bioproducts. Graphical Abstract

Interaction of low‐level dietary supplementation of Chlorella vulgaris Beijerinck, 1890, and feeding duration on growth hormone, growth performance and serum biochemistry of red hybrid tilapia ( Oreochromis mossambicus × Oreochromis niloticus ) - Muhammad Talba Ahmad; Mohamed Shariff; Yong Meng Goh; Sanjoy Banerjee; Fatimah M. Yusoff (Journal of Fish Biology, 2023)
Chlorella is one of the most widely accepted Chlorophyta used by many as livestock and aquaculture feed. Nonetheless, different studies on the overall performances of fish reported the unfavourable effect of high‐level supplementations of Chlorella vulgaris . The current study determined the impact of low‐level dietary supplementation of C. vulgaris alongside the different feeding durations and their interactions on the growth hormone (GH), growth performances, serum‐biochemical indices, hepatic function and some immunological parameters of red hybrid tilapia. The fingerlings (mean weight: 14.25 ± 0.01 g, length: 13.5 ± 0.49 cm) were fed diets containing 0, 0.99%, 2.91% and 4.76% of C. vulgaris powder per kilogram dry diet for 90 days. GH, growth performance, serum‐biochemical indices (total serum protein, albumin, globulin, glucose, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase) and some immunological (respiratory burst and lysozyme activities) parameters of the fish were examined after 30, 60 and 90 days of feeding. The results demonstrated that tilapia fed C. vulgaris– supplemented diets showed increased levels of respiratory burst, lysozyme, albumin and total protein, GH and growth performances ( P C. vulgaris had significantly higher ( P C. vulgaris enhanced growth performances, GH concentration, serum‐biochemistry and some immunological parameters of red hybrid tilapia.

Purpose of Review Heavy and toxic metals are becoming more prevalent in the water sources of the globe, which has detrimental repercussions for both human health and the health of ecosystems. The summary of recent findings on treatment possibilities of toxic metal species by nanomaterials should facilitate the development of more advanced techniques of their removal. Recent Findings The high concentrations of chromium, mercury, and arsenic identified in wastewater cause a hazard to human health. There is a wide variety of nanoadsorbents and nanophotocatalysts used for heavy/hazardous metal removal. Recent research has resulted in the production of advanced nanostructures that exhibit extraordinary heavy/hazardous metal adsorption effectiveness and photocatalytic diminution of metal ions. These nanostructures have physically and chemically tunable features. Summary In this review article, the use of carbon-based nanomaterials, polymer-based nanomaterials, and semiconductor-based nanomaterials are extensively discussed to remove mercury, chromium, and arsenic ions from wastewater by the adsorption process. Advanced nanomaterials involved in photocatalytic reduction are also comprehensively discussed.

The beneficial effects of biochar (BC) and plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPR) to increase crop yields under harsh environments have been widely reported. However, the knowledge on the synergistic effects of BC and PGPR to induce drought tolerance in oilseeds is scant. In the present study, the effects of cotton sticks derived BC together with PGPR strains ( Paraburkholderia phytofirmans and Bacillus sp.) were examined in water-stressed soybean plants. Initially, the BC application rates (1% and 2%) for soybean were optimized in a pilot experiment (experiment I), and the most effective level (1%) was selected for further studies together with PGPR in the second experiment. The soybean plants were raised in pots under semi-controlled conditions and were subjected to drought stress (25–30% water holding capacity) at pod formation stage. In comparison with control, the drought-mediated decrease in photosynthetic pigments and gas exchange characteristics was markedly lower in BC and PGPR-treated plants. However, the maximum increase in photosynthetic (12–30%) and the enzymatic antioxidant activities (5–20%) was recorded in plants treated with BC + P. phytofirmans , whereas no further significant increase was observed in plants treated with combined BC and Bacillus sp. under water deficit conditions. Similarly, the combined BC and P. phytofirmans application considerably increased the grain yield (14%) under drought stress conditions. We conclude that the combined application of BC + P. phytofirmans could be utilized as an effective strategy to improve soybean yield in dry arid regions.

The current sedimentological and petrographical research of the Abbottabad Formation has been carried out in order to understand the formation and evolution of the Proto-Tethys Ocean during the Cambrian on the northern margin of the Indian Plate. The Muzaffarabad region is located east of the Upper Indus Basin and the southern part of the Hazara Kashmir Syntaxis. The geological history of the region varies from the Precambrian to the recent period. The Cambrian Abbottabad Formation is well exposed along the Hazara Kashmir Syntaxis at the core of the 500-m-thick Muzaffarabad anticline. The Abbottabad Formation is an unconformity-bounded allo-stratigraphic unit. It has an unconformable lower contact with the Late Precambrian Dogra Formation and an unconformable upper contact with the Paleocene Hangu Formation. The Abbottabad Formation has been divided into four lithofacies, from bottom to top, namely, thinly interbedded dolomite and shale, cherty-stromatolitic dolomite, oxidized limonitic-brecciated zone, and quartzite, with significant lithological changes. Petrographic studies revealed four types of dolomites: fine crystalline dolomite (Dol. I), dolomitic cryptocrystalline chert (Dol. II), algal mat-stromatolitic dolomite (Dol. III), and intraclastic-dolo-grain stone (Dol. IV). The mineral composition of dolostone was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and found to be consistent with previous petrographic studies. The dolomite mineral content decreased from base to top, while chert increased towards the top. Elemental weight percentages through energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis show different elements constitute the minerals found in the dolostone, as confirmed by petrographic and XRD analysis. Using outcrop data, facies information, and geochemical data, a modified depositional model of the Abbottabad Formation was developed. During the Early Cambrian period, the formation was deposited in a shallow subtidal to supratidal setting of the Proto-Tethys Ocean. The top of this deposit marks the Cambrian–Paleocene boundary. Because of the progressively coarsening outcrop sequences, this formation seems to be at the very top of the Proto-Tethys Ocean’s shallow marine system.
