    Dalal A, Kumar A, Yadav D, et al. Alleviation of methyl viologen-mediated oxidative stress by Brassica juncea annexin-3 in transgenic Arabidopsis. Plant Science. 2014;219-220:9-18.Plant annexins function as calcium-dependent or -independent phospholipid binding proteins and constitute about 0.1% of total cellular proteins. Some of them were reported to antagonize oxidative stress and protect plant cells. Brassica juncea annexin-3 (AnnBj3) was recently discovered. To gain insight into a possible function of AnnBj3 in oxidative stress response, we investigated the resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana plants expressing AnnBj3 constitutively. Here we report that, AnnBj3 attenuates methyl viologen-mediated oxidative stress in plants. It protected photosynthesis and plasma membrane from methyl viologen-mediated oxidative damage. AnnBj3 detoxifies hydrogen peroxide and showed antioxidative property in vitro. The protein increased total peroxidase activity in transgenics and interfered with other cellular antioxidants, thereby giving an overall cellular protection against methyl viologen-induced cytotoxicity

    Helical and linear morphotypes ofArthrospirasp. PCC 8005 display genomicdifferences and respond differently to 60Co gamma irradiation

    No full text
    Arthrospira are multicellular cyanobacteria that typically reside in alkaline lakes of (sub)tropical regions and are mass cultivated around the globe in a variety of outdoor facilities and photobioreactors for their high nutritional, pharmaceutical and clinical value. Arthrospira sp. strain PCC 8005 was selected by the European Space Agency as an oxygen producer and nutritional end-product in a bioregenerative life support system for long-haul missions. Being highly resistant to ionizing radiation, it is also an ideal candidate for other space applications such as in situ resource utilization and terraformation. During long-term strain maintenance involving continuous subculturing we noted an irreversible morphological change in PCC 8005 subcultures i.e. from only helical to only straight trichomes. These morphotypes displayed differences in growth rate, buoyancy and resistance to gamma radiation. We also found marked differences in antioxidant capacity, pigment content and trehalose concentration, while whole-genome comparison revealed a difference of 168 SNPs, 48 indels and four large insertions affecting, in total, 41 coding regions across both genomes. Although nine of these regions encoded proteins with a known function, no conclusive genotype-phenotype associations could be determined. Nonetheless, genomic changes within the gvpC gene (encoding a gas vesicle protein) and within the regulatory region of the psbD gene (encoding the D2 protein of PSII) provided some clues for the observed differences in buoyancy and growth.This work was in part financed through a PhD grant for Anu Yadav provided by SCK_CEN and supported by a collaborative agreement on scientific cooperation between the Research Foundation - Flanders and the Polish Academy of Sciences (2016-2018) (contract FWO-PAN 52162 NB, file VS.082.16N).Janssen, PJ (reprint author), Belgian Nucl Res Ctr SCK CEN, Microbiol Unit, Interdisciplinary Biosci, B-2400 Mol, Belgium.

    No full text
    Yadav, V ORCiD: 0000-0001-5237-1186Getting requirements right is considered the most important and difficult part of the software development process. As organizations and stakeholders become more globally distributed, getting requirements right will pose a greater challenge. Today, organizations are offered a sophisticated array of multimedia meeting systems with video, audio and computer support for remotely specifying requirements. In the context of present day’s global workforce scenario, distributed requirements engineering is now being explored by researchers as well as industry to build an understanding of the dynamics of this highly interactive phase in a globally distributed context. Accordingly, this paper addresses the timely need of reviewing the literature on globally distributed requirements engineering. Findings highlight paucity of literature in this area. Additionally, the paper presents an innovative approach to globally distributed requirements engineering by reviewing the literature on the applicability of agile development approach in a globally distributed setting. Contributing to academic and practitioner literature, the author discusses emerging directions for future research in this area

    Applicability of the Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model Data for Basin-Scale Spatiotemporal Drought Assessment

    No full text
    Drought directly impacts the living organisms and environment, and thereby, its assessment is essential. Different drought indices require different data, which can be obtained based on models or in-situ measurements, demanding a significant amount of effort. Using remotely sensed (RS) data from satellites can facilitate this data acquisition. Nowadays, more and more satellite techniques are rising, highlighting the need to assess the accuracy of their data and the reliability of the results obtained by employing them. The Wet-environment Evapotranspiration Precipitation Standardized Index (WEPSI) has shown good performance in drought monitoring and assessment, especially for agricultural purposes. This chapter employs the Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM) data to investigate its applicability in the Lempa River basin drought assessment using WEPSI. In this order, evaluated data obtained from the Water Evaluation and Planning system (WEAP) were used as the basis for comparison. Precisely, a comparison was made with GLEAM and WEAP-based data as well as WEPSI time series based on these two datasets. The results show a relatively high similarity between these two datasets and calculated WEPSI drought indices. This validates the good performance of GLEAM-based data in drought monitoring and assessment based on WEPSI.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Water Resource

    Genome-wide identification and expression profiling of annexins in Brassica rapa and their phylogenetic sequence comparison with B. juncea and A. thaliana annexins

    AbstractAbiotic stresses affect the yield of crop plants worldwide. Plant species have evolved in such a way that they are able to cope up with these stresses to a certain extent. For further increases in yield and productivity in plants under stress conditions, there is a need to understand the mechanisms and the genes involved in their stress signaling and the information so generated can be utilized in abiotic stress improvement in crops. Brassica species and their different morphotypes are used worldwide as vegetables and oilseed crops. One important species of Brassica known as Brassica rapa (= Brassica campestris) has different morphotypes like turnip, Chinese cabbage and yellow mustard. Recent genome sequencing of one of its morphotypes — Chinese cabbage, an important vegetable crop in China, has opened up the avenues for a comparative study of other morphotypes of this species. Yellow mustard, a morphotype of B. rapa is an important oil yielding crop in India. It is mainly grown in the northern parts of India and is very sensitive to salt and drought stress. The genome sequencing of B. rapa subsp. Chifu (Chinese cabbage) would help in the genome wide analysis of different genes important in development and stress tolerance. Annexins, a protein family important for plant growth and development under normal and stress conditions, are ubiquitously found in plant and animal kingdoms and other unicellular organisms. In this study, we have identified the different annexin sequences present in the genome of B. rapa subsp. Chifu and conducted a genome wide expression analysis of different annexin members in an Indian variety (Yellow Sarson) of B. rapa. Our study showed the differential expression of the gene family under normal and stress conditions underlying their involvement in different stages. Bra034402 with homology to AnnAt1 and AnnBj1 got significantly upregulated in all hormone and stress treatments where as others showed differential up- or downregulation
