Response surface methodology and artificial intelligence modeling for in vitro regeneration of Brazilian micro sword (Lilaeopsis brasiliensis) - Seyid Amjad Ali; Muhammad Aasim (Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture (PCTOC), 2024)
In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize in vitro regeneration of the Brazilian micro sword ( Lilaeopsis brasiliensis) aquatic plant, followed by data prediction and validation using machine learning algorithms. The basal salt, sucrose and Benzyaminopurine (BAP) concentrations were derived from Box-Behnken design of RSM. The response surface regression analysis revealed that 1.0 g/L MS + 0.1 mg/L BAP + 25 g/L sucrose was optimized for maximum regeneration (100%), shoot counts (63.2), and fresh weight (1.382 g). The RSM-based predicted scores were fairly similar to the actual scores, which were 100% regeneration, 63.39 shoot counts, and 1.44 g fresh weight. Pareto charts analysis illustrated the significance of MS for regeneration and fresh weight but remained insignificant. Conversely, MS × BAP was found to be the most crucial factor for the shoot counts, with MS coming in second and having a major influence. The analysis of the normal plot ascertained the negative impact of elevated MS concentration on shoot counts and enhanced shoot counts from the combination of MS × BAP. Results were further optimized by constructing contour and surface plots. The response optimizer tool demonstrated that maximum shoot counts of 63.26 and 1.454 g fresh weight can be taken from the combination of 1.0 g/L MS + 0.114 mg/L BAP + 23.94 g/L. Using three distinct performance criterias, the results of machine learning models showed that the multilayer perceptron (MLP) model performed better than the random forest (RF) model. Our findings suggest that the results may be utilized to optimize various input variables using RSM and verified via ML models. Key message Optimization of in vitro whole plant regeneration of Brazilian sword wood using response surface methodology Data analysis through ANOVA, response surface regression anlaysis and machine learning Graphical presentation of data via Pareto charts, normal plots, contour plots and surface plots for optimization Better performance of ANN-based MLP model compared to decision tree based RF model Graphical abstract

Impacts of climate and land coverage changes on potential evapotranspiration and its sensitivity on drought phenomena over South Asia - Shahzad Ali; Abdul Basit; Muhammad Umair; Jian Ni (International Journal of Climatology, 2024)
Understanding the spatiotemporal historical drought pattern and their sensitivity effect on potential evapotranspiration (PET) and vegetation coverage changes is essential for efficient drought mitigation policies under climate change. In this study, we used the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) at multiple timescales, such as SPEI‐01, SPEI‐03, SPEI‐06, SPEI‐09 and SPEI‐12; we explored their regional‐scale dry and wet annual changes across seven sub‐regions of South Asia from 1902 to 2018. Results suggest that from 1981 to 2018, the extreme drought of SPEI has increased in South Asia, which mostly affects the summer and winter growing seasons, that is, SPEI‐06 to SPEI‐12 across seven sub‐regions of South Asia. The frequency of drought events during dry and wet annual changes of SPEI had an extremely dry year starting from 1998 to 2018, which mostly affected the South Asia region. Data from the past 18 years showed that the land changing detection has increased in the forests, cultivated land, arid land, savanna and farmland; by contrast, there has been significantly reduced permanent ice and snow, mixed forests, open shrub, grasslands, permanent wetlands, water bodies and evergreen broadleaf forests. Seasonal SPEI presented diverse characteristics such as showing a dry trend in Afghanistan, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka during autumn and winter. Afghanistan and Bhutan are wet during the summer compared with other sub‐regions of South Asia, with drought frequency occurring at 45.3% and 44.4%. Sri Lanka, Pakistan and India are the driest regions in South Asia due to their high drought frequency, duration and intensity. The correlation between PET and crop water stress index (CWSI), PET and regional ET p reduction (Er) indicated a considerably negative correlation, while a significantly positive correlation was found between CWSI and Er, NDVI and Er. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of climate and vegetation coverage changes on PET, ET and SPEI, and can help in formulating long‐term adaptive strategies to reduce the cumulative impacts of droughts.

Transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics interventions prompt crop improvement against metal(loid) toxicity - Ali Raza; Hajar Salehi; Shanza Bashir; Javaria Tabassum; Monica Jamla; Sidra Charagh; Rutwik Barmukh; Rakeeb Ahmad Mir; Basharat Ahmad Bhat; Muhammad Arshad Javed; Dong-Xing Guan; Reyazul Rouf Mir; et al. (Plant Cell Reports, 2024)
The escalating challenges posed by metal(loid) toxicity in agricultural ecosystems, exacerbated by rapid climate change and anthropogenic pressures, demand urgent attention. Soil contamination is a critical issue because it significantly impacts crop productivity. The widespread threat of metal(loid) toxicity can jeopardize global food security due to contaminated food supplies and pose environmental risks, contributing to soil and water pollution and thus impacting the whole ecosystem. In this context, plants have evolved complex mechanisms to combat metal(loid) stress. Amid the array of innovative approaches, omics, notably transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, have emerged as transformative tools, shedding light on the genes, proteins, and key metabolites involved in metal(loid) stress responses and tolerance mechanisms. These identified candidates hold promise for developing high-yielding crops with desirable agronomic traits. Computational biology tools like bioinformatics, biological databases, and analytical pipelines support these omics approaches by harnessing diverse information and facilitating the mapping of genotype-to-phenotype relationships under stress conditions. This review explores: (1) the multifaceted strategies that plants use to adapt to metal(loid) toxicity in their environment; (2) the latest findings in metal(loid)-mediated transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics studies across various plant species; (3) the integration of omics data with artificial intelligence and high-throughput phenotyping; (4) the latest bioinformatics databases, tools and pipelines for single and/or multi-omics data integration; (5) the latest insights into stress adaptations and tolerance mechanisms for future outlooks; and (6) the capacity of omics advances for creating sustainable and resilient crop plants that can thrive in metal(loid)-contaminated environments.

Southeast Asia experiences some of the highest deforestation in the world. Loss of tropical forest typically leads to widespread habitat fragmentation, with detrimental effects on dispersal ability and gene flow—particularly for large carnivores. We conducted mtDNA and microsatellite analysis to assess—for the first time—contemporary patterns of genetic diversity in the Malayan tiger. We collected 295 suspected carnivore samples in Peninsular Malaysia, from which we identified 26 as originating from tiger using 16 polymorphic microsatellite loci, comprising 22 individual tigers. Despite limitations of the study, our findings suggest tiger subpopulations in the north of the peninsula maintain some genetic connectivity and migration between two putative geographic subpopulations in the Main Range and Greater Taman Negara, with negligible population segregation due to dispersal barriers such as road infrastructure. We identified consistently lower levels of genetic diversity in tigers in the Greater Taman Negara region compared to tigers in the Main Range and small but emerging differences in nuclear and mitochondrial genetic diversity. Our mtDNA haplotype and nuclear DNA analyses suggest the levels of genetic diversity in Malayan tigers may be amongst some of the lowest of the surviving tiger subspecies, though the study is limited both in scale and genomic loci. Our findings are consistent with an expected lag between the rapid decline of tigers in Peninsular Malaysia by over 95% in the last 70 years and observed differences in their levels of genetic diversity.

Single-Cell Transcriptional Profiling and Gene Regulatory Network Modeling in Tg2576 Mice Reveal Gender-Dependent Molecular Features Preceding Alzheimer-Like Pathologies - Muhammad Ali; Oihane Uriarte Huarte; Tony Heurtaux; Pierre Garcia; Beatriz Pardo Rodriguez; Kamil Grzyb; Rashi Halder; Alexander Skupin; Manuel Buttini; Enrico Glaab (Molecular Neurobiology, 2024)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) onset and progression is influenced by a complex interplay of several environmental and genetic factors, one of them gender. Pronounced gender differences have been observed both in the relative risk of developing AD and in clinical disease manifestations. A molecular level understanding of these gender disparities is still missing, but could provide important clues on cellular mechanisms modulating the disease and reveal new targets for gender-oriented disease-modifying precision therapies. We therefore present here a comprehensive single-cell analysis of disease-associated molecular gender differences in transcriptomics data from the neocortex, one of the brain regions most susceptible to AD, in one of the most widely used AD mouse models, the Tg2576 model. Cortical areas are also most commonly used in studies of post-mortem AD brains. To identify disease-linked molecular processes that occur before the onset of detectable neuropathology, we focused our analyses on an age with no detectable plaques and microgliosis. Cell-type specific alterations were investigated at the level of individual genes, pathways, and gene regulatory networks. The number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was not large enough to build context-specific gene regulatory networks for each individual cell type, and thus, we focused on the study of cell types with dominant changes and included analyses of changes across the combination of cell types. We observed significant disease-associated gender differences in cellular processes related to synapse organization and reactive oxygen species metabolism, and identified a limited set of transcription factors, including Egr1 and Klf6 , a s key regulators of many of the disease-associated and gender-dependent gene expression changes in the model. Overall, our analyses revealed significant cell-type specific gene expression changes in individual genes, pathways and sub-networks, including gender-specific and gender-dimorphic changes in both upstream transcription factors and their downstream targets, in the Tg2576 AD model before the onset of overt disease. This opens a window into molecular events that could determine gender-susceptibility to AD, and uncovers tractable target candidates for potential gender-specific precision medicine for AD.

A novel approach for evaluation of CMIP6 GCMs in simulating temperature and precipitation extremes of Pakistan - Zulfiqar Ali; Mohammad Magdy Hamed; Mohd Khairul Idlan Muhammad; Shamsuddin Shahid (International Journal of Climatology, 2024)
The study used a hybrid approach to evaluate the performance of 20 global climate models (GCMs) from CMIP6 in reproducing 20 extreme temperature and precipitation indices over Pakistan. This study first analysed the future simulations of extremes and discarded the GCMs whose projections fell outside the 95% confidence interval. The remaining GCMs' performance was evaluated using the Kling Gupta Efficiency‐based criteria. The changes in extreme climatic events in Pakistan were projected using the multi‐model ensemble (MME) median of the selected GCMs for four shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) in two future periods, 2020–2059 and 2060–2099. Four GCMs' showed inconsistency in projecting future climatic extremes and were discarded initially. The past performance of the remaining GCMs revealed EC‐Earth3‐Veg‐LR, GFDL‐ESM4, MRI‐ESM2‐0 and NOR‐ESM2‐MM to be effective in reproducing extreme indices for the historical period. The MME median of the selected GCMs showed a gradual increase in most of the temperature and precipitation extreme indices in the future periods for all SSPs across the country. Specifically, it showed a higher increase in daily maximum temperature (TXx) by 4.5–5°C, daily minimum temperature (TNn) by more than 4.5°C, consecutive days with a temperature higher than the 95th percentile (WSDI) by >160 days, one‐day maximum rainfall by 9–15 mm and days with precipitation above the 95th percentile by >50 mm in northern high‐elevated areas during 2060–2099 for SSP585. Similarly, a higher increase in TXx by 4.5–5°C, TNn by >4.5°C, WSDI by 140 days and tropical nights by 40–60 days was also found in the western arid region during 2060–2099 for SSP585. The study highlights that northern high‐elevated and western arid regions are at a higher risk of extreme temperatures and precipitation due to climate change.

Quantifying future water-saving potential under climate change and groundwater recharge scenarios in Lower Chenab Canal, Indus River Basin - Muhammad Shafeeque; Mohsin Hafeez; Abid Sarwar; Arfan Arshad; Tahira Khurshid; Muhammad Irfan Asim; Shoaib Ali; Adil Dilawar (Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2024)
Quantifying water-saving potential (WSP) is crucial for sustainable water resource management in canal command areas and river basins. Previous studies have partially or fully ignored the importance of groundwater in WSP assessments, particularly in irrigated areas. This study is aimed at quantifying WSP in the Lower Chenab Canal (LCC) command area of the Indus River Basin, Pakistan, under various scenarios of future climate change and groundwater recharge. These quantifications are conducted using an empirical model based on the Budyko theory. The model was forced using observed, remote sensing, and CMIP6 future climate data for two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP245 and SSP585) and their ensembles (cold-dry, cold-wet, warm-dry, and warm-wet) for possible futures. The results showed that the average WSP in the LCC command area was 466 ± 48 mm/year during the historical period (2001–2020). The WSP is projected to decrease by – 68 ± 3% under the warm-dry ensemble scenario (SSP245 and SSP585) and – 48 ± 13% under the ensembled cold-wet scenario by 2100. The results also demonstrated that WSP could be increased by up to 70 ± 9% by artificially recharging 20% of the abstracted groundwater per year in the LCC command area by the late twenty-first century. Our findings highlight the importance of adopting artificial groundwater recharge to enhance the WSP and sustainably manage water resources in the LCC command area. Policymakers should consider these findings when deciding on water resource management in the Indus River Basin.
