IN SILICO MINING AND VALIDATION OF SIMPLE SEQUENCE REPEAT (SSR) MARKERS DERIVED FROM THE FRAGARIA X ANANASSA GENOME ASSEMBLY
Authors: ELEC V.H. , CADORNA C.A.E. , REY J.D.
Published: November 2023

Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier) is an economically important fruit crop grown commercially worldwide due to its known nutritional value. The demand for strawberries in the Philippines has been increasing but varietal development is slow due to the lack of genetic information on locally available germplasm. In addition, molecular marker resources for strawberries are limited. Here, we developed Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) markers to characterize strawberries cultivated in tropical environments, particularly in the Philippines. In silico mining generated a total of 219,239 SSR markers, from which 160,025 unique markers were identified. Polymorphism scoring and the variation on the expected alleles resulting to the synthesis of the top 160 markers were validated using representative strawberry cultivars from the core collection. All 70 markers produced successful amplicons from all the genotypes, but only 67 markers displayed polymorphism. Using UPGMA, genetic similarities among the cultivars were calculated generating a dendrogram which categorized the strawberry cultivars into 3 groups. The grouping clearly showed the separation of the diploid Fragaria vesca from the octoploid F. x ananassa cultivars, considered as group 1. Furthermore, Groups 2 and 3 contained cultivars from different geographical origins (US, Japan, and North America). The eight novel markers developed and validated here can be added to the genetic marker resource for cultivar verification, assessment of genetic diversity, and most importantly, marker-assisted breeding.

A comparative assessment of 14 pearl millet genotypes transpired for growth and yield traits under arid conditions of Southeast Kazakhstan. In this study, the green and dry plant biomass and grain yield of 14 pearl millet genotypes’ assessment ensued under rainfed conditions in Southeast Kazakhstan. For green biomass yield, the three pearl millet genotypes Bair Bajsa, HHVBC tall, and J-6 performed better and were high yielders ranging from 39.07 to 39.94 t/ha. The accumulation of dry biomass (as hay) was different and varied widely from 3.17 to 17.36 t/ha; however, the maximum dry biomass appeared in the genotype HHVBC tall. Genotype HHVBC tall was leading for green and dry plant biomass formation and has the potential for grain yield under rainfed conditions of Southeast Kazakhstan. Drought always negatively impacted the production of fodder and grains; however, genotype HHVBC tall assures a stable plant biomass and seed production under arid conditions. In dry Southeast Kazakhstan, pearl millet, a drought-resistant crop, is a highly productive, valuable fodder and grain crop based on quality yields of biomass and grains. Subject to the cultivation technology and according to weather conditions, on average, the pearl millet genotypes form a green mass biomass yield of 40 t/ha and grain yield of 2.2 t/ha under rainfed conditions of Southeast Kazakhstan. For cultivation in the Republic, it is necessary to expand pearl millet as an annual crop, most adapted to extreme agroecological conditions.

Published: November 2023

This study aims to assess how Islamic Corporate Governance (ICG), bank size, and leverage (DAR) influence financial performance using Return on Assets (ROA) as a measure. The study focuses on Sharia Rural Banks (BPRS) registered with the Financial Services Authority (OJK) from 2021 to 2022. The sample includes 99 BPRS selected through purposive sampling. The analysis employs multiple linear regression via SPSS software. The findings reveal that ICG has no significant impact on BPRS's financial performance (ROA). Conversely, firm size positively affects ROA, while leverage (DAR) has a negative impact. Future research could encompass various types of Sharia banks and include additional indicators like Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Investment (ROI). Extending the study's timeframe might provide more accurate insights into trends. Furthermore, incorporating additional proxies to measure bank financial performance, such as Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Investment (ROI), is advised.

role of poetry and the poet's mission in the awakening of society
Authors: Wajed Zumaray , Saghar Ezzatullah
Published: November 2023

Poetry serves as a means of intergenerational communication by articulating the intricacies of existence, the human condition, and its representation through language, adeptly encapsulating the multifaceted dimensions of each. A poet can be seen as skilled artists who use the medium of poetry to offer individuals a well-suited approach to understanding and analysing the attitudes and behaviours prevalent throughout society. The poet's work mostly revolves around the topics of socialism and societal consciousness, wherein he discerns between virtuous and malevolent aspects and portrays society in an optimally favourable manner. This concept posits that the poet possesses a significant role to fill within society, namely, to rouse individuals to a state of awareness regarding the truth, to impel them towards virtuous actions, and to caution them against engaging in malevolent behaviours. The act of recounting this endeavour serves to underscore the significance of this issue. Based on the findings of this study, poetry serves as a mechanism for societal transformation through its capacity to understand the realities of existence and present them in a manner that accentuates their fragility and aesthetic appeal beyond their inherent nature. Poet initiates this transformation and motivates others to emulate their actions. The poet imbues vitality into the corporeal form, transmits visual impressions and panoramas from the terrestrial realm to the ethereal and celestial domains, and establishes a connection between the sphere of material existence and the realm that lies beyond. The objective of this study is to elucidate the role of poetry in facilitating societal awareness and its intended goal.

O Diabete Mellitus (DM) é uma doença crônica não transmissível que atinge um número expressivo da população. Estima-se que em 2025, alcance mais de 463 milhões de pessoas. O olho é um dos principais órgãos lesados nesta patologia, sendo a retinopatia diabética uma das mais conhecidas complicações microvasculares do DM. A pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar as complicações visuais por causa do DM no Brasil, utilizando a regressão logística, modelo matemático ajustado. De acordo com as condições sociodemográficas, utilização de serviços de saúde e estilo de vida. Estudo transversal utilizando a base de dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (2013), a partir de entrevistas com adultos (≥18 anos) de 64.348 domicílios brasileiros. A prevalência do diabetes autorreferido, avaliada pela pergunta “Algum médico já lhe disse que o senhor(a) tem diabetes?”, o qual envolveu 3.838 entrevistados. Foi utilizado o Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) para tratamento e análise dos dados, com emprego da regressão logística binária. Estudo mostrou que as mulheres (67,1%) apresentaram maior proporção de relato de diagnóstico de diabetes que os homens (32,9%). Em relação à idade, destacou-se os idosos (≥60 anos) com diagnóstico de diabetes (51,7%). Os que se declararam raça não branca (59,5%) declaram apresentarem DM. Em relação à utilização de serviços de saúde: usou insulina (OR = 0,315; IC95% = 0,258; 387), e considerando que o uso de insulina regularmente diminui as chances de agravamento do diabetes e por consequência as complicações visuais, foi observado redução (31%). Em relação ao exame de urina reforça-se a importância da intervenção precoce para prevenir e controlar o diabetes (OR = 1,320; IC95% = 1,091; 1,596). O exame de urina deve ser incluído na avaliação de indivíduos com complicações visuais uma vez que pode auxiliar a avaliação sistêmica. Com base neste cenário pode-se pensar em avanços na qualidade de vida, novas tecnologias no tratamento do DM e melhorias nas ações de saúde pública.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the ability of trunk control scales (TCSs) to distinguish independent ambulation and investigate whether there was a relationship between TCSs and activities of daily living in patients with stroke.

Patients and methods: The prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted with a total of 126 patients (52 females, 74 males; mean age: 64.9±10.7 years; range, 40 to 88 years) between August 2018 and January 2020. According to their ability to walk 10 m, the patients were divided into three groups: the nonambulatory group (Group 1, n=31), those who required an assistive device while walking (Group 2, n=35), and those who could walk independently (Group 3, n=60). The Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement Instrument (STREAM), Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients Scale (PASS), Trunk Impairment Scale, Trunk Recovery Scale, Trunk Control Test, and Modified Barthel Index (MBI) were used to determine the relationship between TCSs and activities of daily living.

Results: The median TCS scores differed between the groups; the lowest score was of Group 1, and the highest score was of Group 3 (p<0.05). The MBI was found to be correlated with all dimensions of STREAM in Group 1 and all dimensions of PASS in Group 2 (correlation coefficient was between 0.50 and 0.69).

Conclusion: All TCSs could distinguish ambulatory and nonambulatory patients. The STREAM and PASS correlated the most with MBI in Groups 1 and 2, respectively.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to test the validity of the Turkish version of the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ)-8.

Patients and methods: This methodological and cross-sectional study was conducted with 80 female patients (mean age: 49.5±10 years; range, 28 to 75 years) diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome between January 2020 and December 2021. Participants completed the Turkish version of the CPAQ-8, as well as the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, Brief Pain Inventory, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale. Internal consistency, confirmatory factor analysis, and construct validity were examined in the statistical analysis of the data obtained.

Results: The two-factor model created by exploratory factor analysis provided a better fit than the global factor model. Cronbach's alphas of both subscales of the CPAQ-8 were found to be 0.76 and 0.80; therefore, they provided internal consistency. The CPAQ-8 was found to be significantly correlated with all other scales compared.

Conclusion: The Turkish version of the CPAQ-8 is an assessment tool with sufficient validity in assessing pain acceptance levels in fibromyalgia patients experiencing chronic pain. Future studies are needed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the questionnaire in different chronic pain models.

Toxoplasmosis, caused by Toxoplasma gondii, is an important zoonotic disease with worldwide prevalence. In the present communication, we report molecular cloning, heterologous expression and characterization of 1158 bp complete open reading frame (ORF) of surface antigen 3 (SAG3) of T. gondii, RH strain, IVRI stock for the first time from India. The rSAG3 protein was expressed in E. coli as a 46kDa histidine-tagged fusion protein. Sequence analysis of the SAG3 coding sequence revealed 99.9% homology with the published sequence of T. gondii RH strain with substitution of a single base adenosine ‘A’ with guanosine ‘G’ at nucleotide position 397 in the ORF. Substitution of a single nucleotide resulted in substitution of aspartic acid (D) residue replacing asparagine (N).

Hydroponics maize fodder of 7 days growth was fed to 6 dairy cows divided into two equal groups (BW 442 kg; avg. milk yield 6.0 kg). Animals were offered 5 kg concentrate mixture and ad lib. jowar straw along with either 15 kg fresh hydroponics maize fodder (T-HF) or conventional napier bajra hybrid (NBH) green fodder (T-CF) for 68 days. The hydroponics maize fodder (HMF) had higher CP (13.30 vs 11.14, %), EE (3.27 vs 2.20, %), NFE (75.32 vs 53.54, %) and lower CF (6.37 vs 22.25, %), TA (1.75 vs 9.84, %) and AIA (0.57 vs 1.03, %) than NBH. HMF intake was low (0.59 kg DM/d) than NBH (1.19 kg DM/ d) by the cows. However, the DMI (2.05 and 2.17 %) was similar in both the groups. Digestibility of CP (72.46 vs 68.86, %) and CF (59.21 vs 53.25, %) was higher (P<0.05) for cows fed HMF. The DCP content (9.65 vs 8.61, %) of the ration increased significantly (P<0.05) due to feeding of HMF; however, the increase (P>0.05) in the CP (13.29 vs 12.48, %) and TDN (68.52 vs 64, %) content was non- significant. There was 13.7% increase in the milk yield of T-HF (4.64, kg/d) than the T-CF group (4.08 kg/d). The feed conversion ratio of DM (2.12 vs 2.37), CP (0.29 vs 0.30) and TDN (1.45 vs 1.52) to produce a kg milk was better in the T-HF than the T-CF group. There was higher net profit of Rs. 12.67/- per cow/d on feeding HMF. It can be concluded that feeding of HMF to lactating cows increased the digestibility of nutrients and milk production leading to increase in net profit.
Evaluation of egg quality parameters in Bhutanese indigenous chickens vis-a-vis exotic chicken
Authors: DORJI NEDUP , PHURBA KINLEY
Published: November 2023

This study was designed to compare the physical egg quality of 4 Bhutanese indigenous chickens (BIC) namely Seim (SM), Phulom (PL), Khuilay (KL) and Yuebjha Narp (YN) with Hyline Brown (HL). A total of 160 eggs were collected to represent the sample size. The BIC egg shell colour varied from white to brownish however, egg shells with cream (51.50%) and white colour (33.00%) were considerably common. The overall mean egg weight in BIC was 47.44g with the lowest for SM (45.95g) and highest for PL (50.35g). Mean egg weight and volume (43.60±6.35) of BIC eggs were comparatively lower than Hyline Brown. The egg phenotype and correspondingly the crushing strength of five populations increased from YN < SM < KL < PL < HL. The specific gravity was the lowest and greatest for YN (1.03) and KL (1.17), respectively. Moreover, the shell thickness measures among the BIC strains were not significant (P<0.05) and ranged from 0.30mm (PL) to 0.33mm (KL). The statistical evaluation presents non-significant difference among the five chicken populations for yolk index. The albumen height of BIC ranged from 5.98mm (KL) to 6.93mm (PL) with the mean 6.54mm. The yolk weight was the lowest for SM followed by KL. Superior physical property of shell and egg shape reveals that KL is better quality among the BIC strains. Furthermore, the less fat percent content in KL also supports and this information may be used for improving this population to produce a good egg quality for consumers.

Published: November 2023

Akirin play an important role not only in innate immune response but also in skeletal myogenesis. The chicken’s Akirin gene family only has Akirin 2. We detected the coding sequences of the Akirin 2 gene in a Chinese indigenous chicken (Langshan chicken) population to investigate the possibility of using this gene for chicken marker-assisted selection. The results of PCR-SSCP and DNA sequence showed that there were no polymorphisms in the six amplified regions of the Akirin 2 gene. In addition, there was no SNP record about the chicken’s Akirin 2 gene by searching in NCBI. Thus, the Akirin 2 gene may not be suitable to be used in chicken as a gene marker for marker- assisted selection.

Published: November 2023

A survey was undertaken in 105 flocks of Shahabadi sheep reared in Buxar, Bhojpur and Rohtas districts of Bihar to study the morphometric traits of lambs at birth. The traits included in the present study were body length, height at withers, chest girth, face length, ear length and tail length. The effect of non- genetic factors such as sex, season, type of birth, flock size and location on the morphometric traits were studied using simple linear statistical model. The least squares means of body length, height at withers, chest girth, face length, ear length and tail length at birth pooled over sexes were found to be 26.21±0.12 cm, 34.08±0.11 cm, 33.62±0.12 cm, 8.16±0.08 cm, 9.01±0.08 cm and 17.29±0.12 cm, respectively. The effect of all the non-genetic factors considered in the present study had highly significant (P<0.01) effect on all the morphometric traits studied.

Authors: SHEKHAR CHANDRA , SINGH S P
Published: November 2023

Isolates (50) of Salmonella were recovered from 1,132 samples from foods of animal origin and fecal samples from animals and human beings; belonging to 10 different serovars with most prevalent serovar S. Typhimurium (21) followed by S. Weltevreden (12), S. Ughelli (5), S. Essen (3), S. Elisabethville (2), S. Lagos (2), S. Drogana (2), S. Enteritidis (1), S. London (1) and un-typable Salmonella (1). Emerging Salmonella serovars, viz S. Elisabethville, S. Essen, S. Lagos, S. Ughelli and S. Drogana were first time recovered from Pantnagar and its vicinity. S. Drogana was recovered possibly for the first time from human source in India. Multiple Salmonella serovars (up to 3 serovars comprising S. Typhimurium, S. Weltevreden and S. Essen) were recovered from single cattle dung sample while, multiple serovars (up to 2 serovars) were also recorded in many single samples, viz cattle dung (S. Weltevreden and S. Ughelli), poultry droppings (S. Essen and S. Ughelli), pig faeces (S. Weltevreden and S. London), sheep faeces (S. Typhimurium and S. Drogana) and pig faeces (S. Weltevreden and S. Ughelli). Different virulence genes, viz. invA, sipA, sefA, fliC, stn and sopB were detected in Salmonella isolates using PCR-based molecular technique. Among these virulence genes, invA gene was the most prevalent one as is present in 98% Salmonella isolates followed by sopB, stn, sipA, fliC and sefA genes in 96, 86, 78, 32 and 10% Salmonella isolates, respectively. Salmonella serovars of zoonotic importance recovered from varied sources exhibited different virulence enes that may cause serious infections in animals as well as in human beings. Ultimately these virulent serovars may pose great risks to the health and production in the animals and serious health hazards in human.
