Clinico-genetic heterogeneity in Pakistani families affected with muscular dystrophies - Riaz Ahmad; Muhammad Almas Hashmi; Asad Ullah; Ubaid Ur Rehman; Muhammad Naeem; Henry Houlden (Molecular Biology Reports, 2026)
Background Muscular dystrophies are a group of inherited neuromuscular disorders characterized by degenerative and progressive muscle weakness. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) and merosin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy type 1 (MDC1A) are frequent forms caused by DMD (NM_004006.3) and LAMA2 (NM_000426.4) mutations, respectively. Methods and results Our study used whole exome sequencing to explore the molecular genetics of muscular dystrophies in six unrelated Pakistani families. We found four novel variants in the LAMA2 ; c.7470_7473del; p.(Lys2490AsnfsTer56) in family A, c.7807del; p.(Ala2603HisfsTer4) in family C, c.8651T > C; p.(Met2884Thr) in family D and c.4127T > A; p.(Leu1376Ter) in family E associated with MDC1A in these families. Furthermore, two already cited DMD variants were identified: c.10,801 C > T; p.(Gln872Ter) in family B and hemizygous genomic deletion in DMD (NM_004006.3):g.32438241_32809611del (corresponding to deletion of exons 7–29; GRCh38), which was identified (in family F) associated with BMD and DMD, respectively. Conclusions We present the first report of MDC1A-associated phenotypes caused by the LAMA2 gene in the Pakistani population, while DMD -related cases have already been documented in the literature and public databases. Clinical and molecular diagnosis of these six affected families will be valuable in therapeutic interventions and prenatal diagnosis of neuromuscular dystrophies in the familial and Pakistani populations. Our study emphasizes the effectiveness of next generation sequencing technology over traditional diagnostic methods such as muscle biopsies.

Flash flood susceptibility assessment using an integrated geomorphologic framework in data-scarce arid and semi-arid regions - Aftab Ullah; Rashid Farooq; Abdul Razzaq Ghumman; Muhammad Ejaz Tanveer; Muhammad Atiq Ur Rehman Tariq (Modeling Earth Systems and Environment, 2026)
Flash floods are among the most frequent natural hazards, posing serious environmental challenges, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions where steep topography and compact basin morphometry accelerate surface runoff. The ungauged hill torrents of southwestern Punjab, Pakistan, are particularly vulnerable to such events, experiencing recurrent, intense flash floods. This study develops an integrated GIS-based morphometric framework to assess flash flood susceptibility across 13 major hill torrents in DG Khan and Rajanpur, Punjab. Fifteen morphometric parameters were analyzed using three complementary approaches: Hazard Degree (HD), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The HD method captured the cumulative influence of all parameters. At the same time, PCA reduced redundancy and identified four dominant controlling factors: length of overland flow (Lo), form factor (Ff), circulatory ratio (Rc), and ruggedness number (Rn). The AHP further incorporated expert judgment, identifying drainage density (Dd) and ruggedness number as the most influential parameters, followed by basin relief (Bh) and drainage frequency (Fs). The convergence of results across the three independent methods significantly improves classification reliability compared to single-method analyses. Three hill torrents (Vidore, Mithawan, and Kaha) were consistently classified as highly susceptible, one as moderately susceptible, and four as low susceptibility. Hence, the proposed integrated HD-PCA-AHP model reduces methodological uncertainty and provides a transferable, data-efficient tool for assessing flash flood susceptibility and managing watersheds in data-scarce arid and semi-arid regions.

Irradiation of hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seeds with varying doses of gamma radiation leads to novel mutants - Nasr Ullah Khan; Bareera Tu Nisa; Ihteram Ullah; Douglas Law; Daniel K. Y. Tan; Wael Elmenofy; Mian Abdur Rehman Arif; Muhammad Yasin (Cereal Research Communications, 2026)
The plateauing wheat yield and its narrow genetic diversity warrants modifying wheat to meet the global food demand from the growing population. Gamma radiation-based mutagenesis is a widely used technique to develop or improve crops like wheat. However, optimizing radiation dose level and the response of wheat genetic background to radiation dose are the two key challenges. This study was conducted to assess the effect of different gamma radiations doses (0 Gy, 100 Gy, 150 Gy, 200 Gy and 250 Gy) on early growth, development and yield related attributes of six wheat genotypes (AZRC Dera, RK2022, landrace-49, landrace-52, black wheat and Kashmiri landrace), and to screen out mutants with promising growth, developmental and yield related attributes. Eighteen different traits (early growth, phenology and yield of the wild type and M 1 mutants) of the six wheat genotypes revealed differences ( p < 0.01) among genotypes (wheat) and treatment (gamma radiation doses), underscoring the genetic diversity and differential radio-sensitivity of the wheat genotypes. Additionally, all the eighteen traits among all genotypes were negatively ( p < 0.01) affected at high dose of 250 Gy, while optimum dose of 150 Gy positively impacted early growth and yield related traits. Kashmiri landrace exhibited improved superior yield related attributes such as early maturity, longer spike, greater spikelets per spike, greater number of seeds per spike and superior seed weight per spike, making it an ideal genetic material for mutation breeding programs. Hierarchical clustering revealed five distinct clusters of genotypes, Kashmir landrace and black wheat being the most distinct genotypes. Gamma radiation mutagenesis produced a vast array of radio morphs such as double spikes per tiller, high tillering, dwarfing and altered spike architecture. These mutants provide novel and valuable genetic resources for wheat breeding.

This study utilised an innovative approach by employing biomass from the halophyte Desmostachya bipinnata, which has not been previously reported for microbial enzyme production. A newly discovered bacterial species, Anoxybacteroides rupiense, was used for laccase production. Initially, the factors impacting laccase production by the thermophilic strain of A. rupiense UE27 (Genome Project JBHLFH010000000.1) were screened for their significant effects using the Plackett–Burman design. Consequently, Response Surface methodology was adopted to optimise the significant factors, resulting in a maximum laccase yield of 51.69 U L −1 at pH 6.39 and in presence of 0.59 mM CuSO 4 , representing a 4.29‐fold increase compared to the unoptimised conditions. AFM revealed comminution in the plant biomass and FTIR analysis confirmed laccase‐mediated lignin degradation in D. bipinnata biomass, evidenced by shifts in aromatic CC (1597–1650 cm −1 ), CH methyl (2850–2918 cm −1 ) and phenolic OH (3300–3400 cm −1 ) regions. Moreover, growth of A. rupiense UE27 in the presence of textile effluent resulted in 70.6% decolourisation with the subsequent laccase production. Hence, this study presents a sustainable and innovative approach for developing wild biomass‐based processes for the cost‐effective production of laccase by thermophilic bacteria.

A comparative analysis of crop water footprint, practices, and economic water productivity (EWP) in Punjab, Pakistan and Western Australia, Australia - Zohreh Rajabi; Stephen Gray; Shakeel Hayat; Muhammad Atiq Ur Rehman Tariq (Irrigation Science, 2026)
A comprehensive analysis of crop water footprint (WFP), water use efficiency (WUE) and economic water productivity (EWP) between 2010 and 2020 in two climatically and economically diverse agricultural regions: Punjab, Pakistan and Western Australia, Australia was undertaken. Using the Water Footprint Network method and climate, soil and agricultural production data, the study quantified green, blue and grey water footprints for five staple crops in each region. Normalization by local water scarcity and irrigation share was used to compare between the two regions with different water stress levels and irrigation dependence. Results showed that the total crop water requirements in Punjab increased by 12% during the study period due to changing climatic conditions. Cotton and rice had the highest WFP and dependence on irrigation, however generated relatively low economic returns per unit of water, showcasing inefficiency in the current agricultural system. In contrast, rain-fed crops in WA showed lower absolute crop water requirements and lower increases in normalized WFP, with stable WUE and EWP with cereals, showcasing efficient water use under climate-driven limitations. Normalization highlighted the difference in water stress, identifying that Punjab’s irrigation-intensive crops put much greater stress on local water resources than WA crops. Integration of biophysical and economic indicators, when normalizing for water scarcity, provides a strong basis to assess water practice of various agricultural systems. The results indicate the necessity for location-specific approaches: increased irrigation efficiency and suitable crop selection in Punjab; and climate-resilient cropping to maximize water use productivity and economic return in WA.

The modified Zakharov–Kuznetsov (mZK) model is a fundamental framework for describing nonlinear phenomena in plasma oscillations, optical systems, discrete electrical lattices, and oceanic wave dynamics. In this work, we establish a unified framework that combines exact solution construction with dynamical systems analysis of the mZK equation. Using the modified Khater method and the Sardar subequation technique under a traveling wave transformation, we derive new and more general families of solitary traveling wave solutions, including trigonometric, hyperbolic, rational, exponential–rational, and complex soliton forms. We show how free parameters govern the existence, shape, and stability of these solutions, with two- and three-dimensional MATLAB simulations illustrating their structures. Furthermore, we reformulate the mZK equation as a planar dynamical system and classify its qualitative features through phase portraits, identifying centers, saddles, and cusps. With the inclusion of periodic external forcing, the reduced system displays bifurcation and chaos, following a period-doubling route with multistability and sensitivity to parameter variations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that simultaneously delivers exact soliton solutions and a complete nonlinear dynamics characterization of the mZK equation. This integrated approach provides a novel template for investigating broader classes of nonlinear evolution equations.

Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) is a set of hereditary diseases affecting enamel development, leading to various types of enamel defects, potentially impacting oral health unassociated with other generalized defects. AI manifests in syndromic and non-syndromic forms and can be inherited through autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, or X-linked inheritance patterns. Genetic studies have identified sequence variants in a number of genes (≥ 70) linked to both syndromic and non-syndromic AI, highlighting the genetic diversity underlying the condition. The current study involved clinical evaluation and exome sequencing, aimed at identifying the causative variants in four unrelated consanguineous Pakistani families presenting AI phenotypes. The exome sequencing results revealed a novel homozygous frameshift variant FAM20A : NM_017565.4, c.188dupA; p.(Asp63Glufs*17) in families A, B, and C while a nonsense homozygous variant WDR72 : NM_182758.4, c.2686C > T; p. (Arg896*) in family D. The segregation of both variants was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Bioinformatics analysis predicted the pathogenicity of these genetic variants. These alterations suggest functional consequences, potentially impairing the FAM20A and WDR72 proteins and causing dental anomalies. This investigation significantly broadens our understanding of FAM20A and WDR72 ’s involvement in AI. Furthermore, this study highlights the genetic heterogeneity of AI (involving FAM20A and WDR72 in this study) within the Pakistani population.

Environmental salinity affects the growth, survival rate and physiological functions of fish. In this study, the effects of salinity stress on Pangasianodon hypophthalmus (Sauvage, 1878) fingerlings were examined over a 90‐day period. After acclimatization, a total of 300 P. hypophthalmus fingerlings were randomly assigned into three replicates and divided into five treatment groups with salinity levels of 0‰, 6‰, 12‰, 18‰, and 24‰ and with a stocking density of 20 fish per aquarium. After 90 days, the final weight, weight gain, weight gain percentage and specific growth rate significantly ( p p p p p p p p p p P. hypophthalmus in inland saline groundwater is 12‰, which ensures the maximum survival rate.
