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.

The dual role of polyethylene glycol-simulated drought stress in Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni): growth reduction and integrated physiological, biochemical, and steviol glycoside responses - Shafiq Hussain; Mehran Ali; Muhammad Zahid; Simone Ribeiro Lucho; Caroline Dambroz; Joyce Dória (Physiology and Molecular Biology of Plants, 2026)
Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a globally recognized natural sweetener owing to its zero-calorie steviol glycosides (SGs). However, drought stress, one of the leading abiotic constraints to crop productivity, adversely affects stevia growth and development, while simultaneously altering its biochemical composition. This review highlights the impact of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced drought stress on stevia, with particular emphasis on agronomic traits, metabolites, antioxidant activities, and SGs biosynthesis. PEG-mediated stress reduces key growth parameters, such as plant height, biomass, and leaf area, but in some cases, it promotes root elongation as an adaptive strategy to optimize water uptake. Such alterations are accompanied by biochemical adjustments, notably the up-regulation of antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT), which neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced oxidative stress. Moreover, PEG stress enhances the accumulation of secondary metabolites, such as phenolic, flavonoids and terpenoids, thereby improving antioxidant potential and stress tolerance. Notably, PEG-induced drought stress shapes SG biosynthesis through the up-regulation of the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway and the differential expression of key SG-related genes. Such modulation frequently increases SG accumulation, thereby strengthening their medicinal and economic value. Overall, this review covers the dual nature of PEG-induced drought stress: while limiting agronomic performance, enhances SGs biosynthesis and antioxidant capacity. Gaining insights into these mechanisms will facilitate the development of optimized cultivation strategies under water deficit conditions. Future research should prioritize molecular breeding and advanced biotechnological approaches to enhance drought tolerance and maximize the production of bioactive metabolites in stevia.

Bridging iron biofortification through integrative strategies from QTL mapping to regulatory-compliant genome editing - Sadia Hakeem; Safia Khushi; Muhammad Hammad Nadeem Tahir; Nadia Hussain Ahmed; Amna Bibi; Zulfiqar Ali (Cereal Research Communications, 2026)
Around two billion people are affected by iron (Fe) malnutrition globally, largely contributed by the consumption of cereal-based diets with low levels of iron and reduced bioavailability due to presence of inhibitor compounds like phenols and phytic acid. Among several methods of enhancing Fe content of staples, genetic biofortification is the most sustainable, and cost-effective method. Genetic biofortification through conventional breeding has succeeded in producing a number of cultivars marketed for high nutrition. However, this approach is limited due to the requirement of large genetic variation, long breeding time, phyto-availability of nutrients through soil only, gene targeting in compatible species only, lack of knowledge of QTL and genetic maps, environmental interactions, risk of linkage drag, and complex interrelations among nutrients as well as with other yield traits. With the advent of genomic approaches for targeted genetic manipulation, transgenic approach offers straightforward and robust techniques to genetically biofortify staples. While transgenic approaches to increasing Fe content have been helpful, genetically modified (GM) cultivars for staple crops may be delayed due to GM regulatory barriers. This chapter reviews the global status of Fe malnutrition, possible solutions to combat its deficiency, and bottlenecks towards Fe biofortification in staples. It also provides insights into transgenic approaches to address this issue as well as way forward to resolve the regulatory issues associated with GM crops by providing alternate options.

Karunarathna; Ting Chi Wen (New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2026)
Trichothecium pseudoroseum sp. nov. is described from Yunnan Province, China, and Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Pakistan, based on morphological characteristics and multigene phylogenetic analyses. It is distinguished by its conidiophores, which arise directly from the substrate, are unbranched, solitary, long, slender, septate, slightly curved, smooth‐walled, and hyaline; the conidiogenous cells are smooth, hyaline, located at the apex, slightly swollen, and monoblastic, producing conidia that are ellipsoid, oblong, or pyriform in shape, asymmetrical, one‐septate, and smooth‐walled. To confirm its taxonomic placement, a multigene phylogenetic analysis based on Large Subunit and Internal Transcribed Spacer sequences was conducted, confirming it as an undescribed species and naming it as T. pseudoroseum . The fungus was isolated from the leaves of Trifolium sp., representing the first report of a Trichothecium species on this host. A full description, illustrations, and phylogenetic analysis results for T. pseudoroseum are provided, with comparisons to closely related taxa. This finding extends the known host range of T. pseudoroseum and provides new insights into its biodiversity and interactions with the Trifolium sp.

Reliability and sustainability of offshore wind turbine support structures in marine environments: a comprehensive review of failures, monitoring technologies, robotics, and predictive O&M - Sajid Ali; Muhammad Waleed; Daeyong Lee (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Offshore wind turbine support structures are increasingly required to operate in deeper and more demanding marine environments, where cyclic loading, hydrodynamic forcing, corrosion, scour, soil-structure interaction, and limited long-term monitoring continue to challenge structural reliability and lifecycle performance. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the reliability, degradation mechanisms, and maintenance needs of major offshore wind support-structure concepts, including monopiles, jackets, gravity-based foundations, tripods, hybrid fixed-bottom systems, spars, semi-submersibles, and tension-leg platforms. The study integrates findings from global field observations, reported failure cases, industrial practice, and recent advances in structural health monitoring, digital twins, robotics-assisted inspection, and AI-supported predictive operation and maintenance. Particular emphasis is placed on how marine environmental conditions and offshore loading processes influence structural response, fatigue behavior, corrosion-scour progression, and maintenance demand across fixed and floating systems. The review also identifies key gaps in long-term field validation, unified reliability assessment, and integrated monitoring-to-maintenance frameworks. By combining structural, operational, and marine-environment perspectives, this paper provides a consolidated reference for improving the durability, safety, and sustainability of offshore wind support structures within the broader context of marine renewable energy development.

The Mirzachol Oasis is one of the most important agroecological regions in Uzbekistan and has been subject to six decades of intensified irrigation, resulting in significant hydrological and soil changes. The impact on microbial communities below the surface is less well studied than its impact on the surface, but both affect soil health. This study addresses this gap by examining microbial communities, soil physicochemical parameters and historical irrigation data from 1960–2020 across six separate plots, including protected and irrigated plots. The results show that, due to organic matter accumulation and cultivation, extended irrigation increased microbial diversity and biogenicity in nonsaline soils (such as the U. Nasir and Yangi Hayot massifs). Nevertheless, secondary salinization disrupted nutrient cycling by suppressing functional microbial guilds, such as nitrifiers and cellulose‐degrading bacteria, in irrigated zones (e.g., the M. Uzoqov and Pakhtakor massifs). The salinization legacy reduces ecosystem stability, while older irrigated soils exhibit greater microbial resilience than recently irrigated or protected lands. Microbial activity was further influenced by seasonal variations, pH changes and groundwater fluctuations; salinity exacerbated reductions in fungal and actinomycete populations.

Establishment of callus culture, elicitation study, and NMR-based metabolomics of Artemisia vulgaris L. - Ali Muhammad Zakariya; Nur Kusaira Khairul Ikram; Dwi Kusuma Wahyuni; Mohd Zuwairi Saiman (In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Plant, 2026)
Artemisia vulgaris L. has attracted considerable interest for its pharmaceutical, agricultural, and cosmetic applications due to its rich bioactive metabolites. However, low metabolite yields and challenges in large-scale cultivation constrain its commercial potential. Therefore, this study aimed to optimize a callus regeneration system, develop a comprehensive metabolite profile of the callus culture, and assess the effects of elicitor treatments on metabolite biosynthesis pathways to identify optimal concentrations for enhanced metabolite production. In vitro callus cultures were initiated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with varying levels of benzylaminopurine (BAP), α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) phytohormones. Callus cultures were evaluated for colour, texture, moisture content, and biomass, and metabolite profiling was conducted using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) platform. Elicitor treatments of the callus cultures with different concentrations of methyl jasmonate (MJ) and salicylic acid (SA) were analysed via NMR-based metabolomics. MS medium containing 2.0 mg L⁻ 1 BAP and 0.2 mg L⁻ 1 NAA was optimal for callus culture establishment and maintenance. A total of eighteen compounds were identified, including dihydroartemisinic acid, caffeic acid, and gallic acid. MJ and SA functioned as stress elicitors, modulating the tricarboxylic acid cycle, phenylpropanoid, and artemisinin biosynthesis pathways, although they had limited direct effects on artemisinin concentrations. Overall, this study optimized callus culture production, generated the first detailed metabolite profile, and highlighted the potential of elicitation strategies to enhance bioactive metabolite yields, providing a foundation for future metabolic engineering and industrial applications.

Biochemical analysis and antimicrobial potential of Mastacembelus armatus epidermal mucus - Muhammad Saeed Khan; Shandana Ali; Muhammad Qasim; Farman Ullah Dawar; Waheed Ullah (Journal of Fish Biology, 2026)
The epidermal mucus of fish plays an important role in innate immunity, providing both physical and biochemical protection through a complex matrix of bioactive molecules. The present study explored the biochemical characterization, bactericidal, and fungicidal activities of Mastacembelus armatus (Zig‐Zag eel) epidermal mucus treated with Aeromonas hydrophila . Extracts of epidermal mucus (ethanolic and acidic) of Mastacembelus armatus showed antimicrobial activity against selected resistant bacteria and fungi. The zone of inhibition (ZOI), which was measured in millimetres, revealed differences in activity between different fungi and bacteria. The acidic extract demonstrated noticeably higher ZOI values against various MDR bacteria and fungi was more effective than the ethanolic extract. Strong peaks in the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum of Mastacembelus armatus indicated the presence of metabolic components in the epidermal mucus. The O–H and N–H stretching vibrations, which are indicative of water content and protein‐based molecules such as mucins or amide, are shown by a large peak at 3272.60 cm −1 . This result suggests that fish epidermal mucus has the potential to contribute enormously to the defence of fish against bacteria and fungi. Therefore, this study could be evidence in favour of the substitution of chemical antibiotics with fish epidermal mucus as a new ‘antimicrobial’ introduced in aquaculture and in humans against bacterial infections.
