Probleme privind protejarea patrimoniului cultural imobil în legislația de specialitate și documentațiile de urbanism
Authors:   National Institute of Heritage, Petrescu Ioana Maria
Published: March 2024

Built cultural heritage protection is ensured by two types of legal tools: legislation that rules the field of historic monuments and urban planning laws and regulations. However, in practice, the efficiency of these instruments is sometimes questionable. At a closer look, the cultural heritage and urban planning policies contain contradictions and discontinuities caused by legislation gaps and overlaps. The lack of accuracy distorts the sense of legal stipulations, leading to serious heritage preservation issues. In order to guarantee the protection of historic monuments and their buffer zones, as well as the preservation of other protected areas and the valorization of their assets, the legislation on urban planning and cultural heritage preservation establishes that urban planning documents should contain relevant information and specific regulations. In practice, one can notice that this fundamental principle is sometimes treated in an unsatisfying manner. The improper interpretation of the legislation and official documents represents a real menace to the cultural identity of our environment and could cause severe damages to our common inheritance.
Două planuri necunoscute ale Craiovei din a doua jumătate a secolului al XVIII-lea – jumătatea secolului al XIX-lea

Published: March 2024

In this study, we publish two plans of Craiova, discovered at the Military-Historical Archive of Moscow: a plan made during the occupation of Wallachia in 1771–1774 and another made either during the occupation after the 1848 revolution (1848–1851) or during the first year of the Crimean War (August 1853 – April 1854). Both plans support the idea that the town underwent organic development, which took into account the local landforms and the way man intervened. Its location in the Jiu Valley played a significant role in the emergence and evolution of this centre, as the course of the river was accompanied by an important road, Craiova being at the intersection with other major traffic routes of this region of the country. The valleys bordering the urban core had the role of delimiting the original inhabited area and the position of the “Bănia” area, with the church of St. Dumitru, as a strategic area and centre of power, on the edge of the coast overlooking the valley towards the west, is evident. Separately, across another small valley, the heart of the town developed, the market, the area with the best economic outlook, not coincidentally located at the crossroads of the main east-west and south-north axes. The medieval town evolved around these two cores, but development and population growth meant the valleys bordering it were overtaken by the 18th century. How the streets converged in the town underlines the idea of gradual growth, and the concentration of roads around the focal point that was the town market marked the layout of Craiova. Human intervention up to the 1830s and 1840s took place not only through the building of dwelling houses, shops and workshops but also through the construction of major landmarks represented by churches and monasteries, around which the neighbourhood (mahala) gravitated. Once the process of modernization began, the anthropic footprint became even more important through the extensive building actions initiated after the Organic Regulation, some of which are visible in the second plan studied. Unfortunately, we could not identify the plan’s authors among the Russian army surveyors of those periods. The two cartographic documents contribute to a better knowledge of Craiova in the second half of the 18th century and the first half of the following century, adding to the already known plans (the Austrian plan of 1790 and the Romanian one of 1845).

EFEITOS DAS RELAÇÕES DE PODER E DAS VIOLÊNCIAS NA QUESTÃO DA VULNERABILIZAÇÃO FEMININA: O DIREITO COMO INSTRUMENTO DE DOMINAÇÃO E DE EMANCIPAÇÃO
Authors: Paiva Renato Eduardo de , Ávila Assunção Any
Published: March 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo a construção de uma análise crítica a partir de uma abordagem teórica sobre os efeitos das relações de poder e das violências na questão da vulnerabilização feminina e a análise do papel exercido pelo Direito como instrumento de dominação e de emancipação nessa questão. Nesse sentido, buscaremos alinhavar alguns conceitos teóricos sobre as violências, na visão de Yves Michaud, concatenando-os com as valorosas lições de Michel Foucault sobre o poder. Abordamos também alguns aspectos trabalhados por Pierre Bourdieu, em sua obra “A Distinção – Crítica Social do Julgamento”, para entendermos um pouco melhor como funcionam os mecanismos distintivos baseados no gosto, na cultura escolar e na origem social, e a maneira como esses fatores exercem influência nas diferentes classes sociais, em especial no que se relaciona a forma de atuação ou de performatividade feminina. Em seguida, buscaremos fazer uma ponte teórica entre as abordagens anteriores com a chamada teoria do reconhecimento, de acordo com a abordagem de Axel Honneth, conectando-as com uma visão que demonstre como o Direito pode se encaixar nas relações sociais e se apresentar como um mecanismo de dominação, a serviço dos segmentos detentores do exercício preponderante do poder na tecitura social, especialmente a serviço do pensamento patriarcal, foco do presente artigo, mas também como ele pode se apresentar numa concepção de libertação e, portanto, de emancipação real, concreta e efetiva das mulheres, diante da ação opressora exercida pelo patriarcado.

Authors: Konina Olga
Published: March 2024

The research aims to determine the prospects for improving innovation management in business using artificial intelligence (AI). To achieve the research goal, the author examined the international experience of 33 countries as of the end of 2023, relevant at the beginning of 2024, with reference to IMD statistics. As a result, the author developed an econometric model of innovation management in business using AI and alternative digital technologies. The model has shown that instead of risks, implementing AI generates advantages for innovation management in business. The main conclusion is that the application of AI is preferable for innovation management compared to alternative digital technologies because it makes it possible to significantly increase the results and reduce the costs of such management. Therefore, the authors proposed a new approach to innovation management in business, which achieves a high level of management automation based on AI for the first time. The theoretical significance of the obtained results and the author’s conclusions is explained by the fact that they revealed the cause-and-effect relationships of using AI in innovation management in business. The managerial significance of this research lies in the fact that the application of the new approach will increase the efficiency of innovation management in business.

Published: March 2024

Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) adalah kapal yang memproduksi minyak dan gas terapung dengan memiliki sistem tambat tipe catenary mooring. FPSO tersebut akan memproduksi minyak dan gas di Lapangan Abadi di Blok Masela Laut Arafuru (09˚ 07’ 51’’ S / 130˚ 28’ 00’’ E) dimana daerah tersebut memiliki gelombang laut, angin, dan arus yang akan berpengaruh pada kinerja kapal FPSO. Pada penelitian ini akan di uji Response Amplitude Operator (RAO), motion trajectory dan fatigue damage ratio dengan sistem tambat kapal dari 12 tali terdapat 3 yang mengalami kegalalan. Penilitian ini menggunakan metode analisis dengan memakai perangkat lunak berbasis CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) yaitu Ansys AQWA. Adapun kesimpulan dari penelitian ini ialah semakin banyak tali tambat yang putus maka perpindahan kapal FPSO dari kondisi awal akan semakin jauh serta semakin tinggi nilai tegangan maksimum tali maka akan berbanding lurus dengan stress range pada setiap tali tambat sedangkan untuk fatigue damage ratio semakin tinggi nilai siklus kegagalan maka akan berbanding terbalik dengan nilai fatigue damage ratio pada setiap tali tambat.
Analisis Gerak FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) dengan menggunakan variasi Radius Mooring Berbasis Simulasi Time Domain
Authors: Algifari Muhammad Mustafa Algifari
Published: March 2024

Seiring dengan berkembangnya teknologi,, ekplorasi minyak dan gas mulai dilakukan dilaut dalam. Salah satu teknologi yang biasa dipakai yaitu FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading). Agar FPSO  gerakannya teredam akibat beban lingkunan saat proses produksi, maka diperlukan system mooring yang memenuhi standar sesuai kebutuhan dan karateristik lingkungan pada ladang minyak tersebut. Sistem tambat yang digunakan yaitu spread mooring system yang dibatasi menjadi 12 mooring line. Penelitian menggunakan  variasi pada  radius mooring line sehingga Panjang mooring line dan posisi anchor berbeda.  Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk menganalisa pengaruh radius mooring line  terhadap gerakan FPSO dan tegangan dari mooring line itu sendiri menggunakan pendekatan numerik dengan mengunakan simulasi time domain. Dari hasil penilitian, dapat diketahui bahwa makin panjang mooring linenya mengakibatkan berkurangnya tegangan maksimum  pada mooring line, namun sebaliknya terjadi penambahan gerakan kapal. Namun karena posisi anchor yang makin jauh disetiap radius, nilai tension pada mooring line tidak terlalu signifikan perbedaan nilainya
Jezebel: A Hebrew Disaster
Authors: Dolan Mary
Published: March 2024

The Phoenician princess Jezebel who married Ahab the king of the northern kingdom of Israel had a significant effect on the religious life of the nation in her day and beyond. In the world of the ancient Near East she was one of a number of women who attained such positions of power. Her promotion of the worship of the Canaanite deities Baal and Asherah was aided by the fact that Israel has shown a propensity toward these gods even before entry into Canaan. Jezebel’s goal and determination led to a confrontation with Elijah who was equally committed to the worship of Yahweh. The extent to which the worship of Baal and Asherah affected Israel’s understanding of Yahweh is seen in the inscriptions found at Kuntillet Ajrud. Jezebel was not fully responsible for the ongoing worship of Canaanite deities in Israel and Judah but her reign gave legitimacy to the long held tendency.

Published: March 2024

The Arab nation before the teachings brought by the Prophet Muhammad SAW became a nation known as the Jahiliyyah nation, a bad nation and they did many things, such as gambling, killing girls on a spree and so on. However, there has also been economic progress due to its precise geographical location which has become a trade route from city to city. The Arab nation has 2 groups, namely Qathaniyun and Adnaniyun. There are also characteristics of the political system that existed during the Jahiliyah era, such as tribal division, oligarchic leadership, and polytheism. At that time they already had quite a lot of beliefs, such as Judaism, Christianity, the al Hunafa' group, the Mulhad group, and magi beliefs. Their culture is also very diverse, but from some of these cultures there is one thing that is more inclined, namely poetry, there they glorify poets so much that they often hold competitions for several poets and hold orgies afterward. Here the methodology I use is qualitative methodology, a method that I took from several articles that I researched and explained in my writing. And as a result, the Arabian Peninsula became a popular nation and could be said to provide benefits to better understand the situation of Arabia in the pre-Islamic era.

Published: March 2024

Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) is a major spice crop and exported worldwide. The extraction of DNA from leaves of black pepper is challenging due to the presence of a significant amount of polysaccharides, polyphenolic compounds and other chemical constituents. Hence, the present study was aimed to standardize and optimize the DNA isolation protocol from the young folded leaves of black pepper. The emerging folded leaves of seven pepper accessions were selected and an efficient DNA extraction protocol from freshly collected emerging leaves of pepper was developed with modified cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) method, which is a collective strategy of 2-mercaptoethanol, PVP (poly vinyl pyrrolidone), 1% sodium metabisulfite and 5M NaCl, which was used for efficient removal of polyphenols and polysaccharides. This protocol was pertinent to isolate genomic DNA from emerging leaf tissues of pepper. The presence of DNA was checked by 0.8% agarose gel; results showed that thick intact single band of high molecular weight confirming good quality. The genomic DNA yielded from fresh emerging leaves of seven pepper accessions was ranged from 75 - 120µg/g.

Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) is a legume crop grown for its edible beans. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal rate of NPK fertilizer and the need for training to achieve the maximum yield of lima bean cultivars in the Nigerian Savanna. Field trials were performed at the research farm of Institute for Agricultural Research Samaru, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria and National Horticultural Research Institute (NIHORT), Bagauda sub-station during the wet season of 2018 (Duration month-month). The treatment consisted of two lima bean cultivars (Ex-Manchok Brown and Ex-Manchok Cream), preparation (trained and untrained) and four fertilizer levels of NPK 15:15:15 (control, 150, 300, and 450 kg ha-1). The treatments were laid out in a randomized complete block design replicated three times. Data showed that in Bagauda, Ex-Manchok Brown gave significantly higher in LAI at 6 WAS than Ex-Manchok Cream, while Ex-Manchok Brown outperformed in the number of seeds pod-1, 100-seed weight and seed yield ha-1 at Samaru Ex-Manchok Cream. Trained lima bean at Samaru resulted in significantly higher LAI at 9 WAS and branch numbers at 12 WAS, while 100-seed weight and seed yield ha-1 at Bagauda were significantly higher with vine training. NPK The application of 450 kg ha-1 in Samaru and Bagauda resulted in the highest seed yield. The outcome of this study verified that training with 9 DAS and 450 kg ha-1 of NPK 15:15:15 compound fertilizer is needed to obtain a maximum of Ex-Manchok Cream lima bean cultivar in Nigerian savanna beans.

A field study was conducted in zaid season of 2019 to investigate the mean performance of 27 diverse genotypes (5 parents, 20 F1 crosses and 2 standard checks) of cucumber for earliness, growth and yield attributing traits following full diallel mating design by utilizing two gynoecious lines, two monoecious lines and one parthenocarpic gynoecious line. Analysis of variance in randomized block design suggested that there were significant differences among the genotypes for 10 quantitative traits out of 13 traits used in the study. Results showed that gynoecious hybrids (involving both gynoecious parents) expressed earliness for flowering and fruiting, i.e., took minimum days to first female flower anthesis, node to first female flower, and days to first fruit harvest. The result of the present study showed that hybrid BRPCU-8 × BRGCU-4 was found to be better for earliness related traits viz., days to first flowering, first fruit harvest, and node to first female flower. Hybrid BRCU-10 × BRCU-1 was the better performer for fruit morphological traits viz., fruit length, fruits per plant, average fruit weight and yield-related traits; hybrid BRCU-1 × BRPCU-8 was superior for vegetative growth traits, namely crop duration and vine length. Monoecious cucumber hybrids involving both monoecious parents such as Punjab Naveen × BRCU-1 outperformed gynoecious hybrids involving gynoecious parents for growth characteristics such as vine length and crop duration. Overall, hybrid BRGCU-10 × BRCU-1 was observed as the best genotype.

Authors: Bright Ehijiele Amenkhienan , Isitekhale H H E
Published: March 2024

Physicochemical properties of some selected soils formed on three varied parent materials in Edo State, Nigeria, were evaluated for their physicochemical properties. Soil samples were collected from profile pits sunk on each parent material type. The collected soil samples were air-dried and analyzed for physicochemical properties and analyzed in the laboratory using standard methods. Results showed that the soils were low in plant nutrient elements, as revealed by their estimated levels of availability. Organic carbon, phosphorus and nitrogen were deficient in the soils. Soils formed on the three-parent materials were sufficient in Mg (1.11, 1.54, 0.88 cmol kg-1), Na (1.32, 1.39, 1.35 cmol kg-1) and K (0.20, 0.37, 0.28 cmol kg-1) while Ca was higher in soils formed on cretaceous sediment (3.08 cmol kg-1) and shale (5.22 cmol kg-1) than in quaternary alluvium (2.05 cmol kg-1). There was a significant positive correlation among the various soil properties of the different parent materials. In order to improve the productive capacity of these soils to obtain high crop yields; it is recommended that the soils be limed to increase pH levels to near neutral and optimum fertilization (organic and inorganic) for nitrogen, phosphorus and basic cations in the different parent materials.

Published: March 2024

Hevea brasiliensis, or rubber tree, is the primary source of natural rubber, and second major commodity crop in Malaysia after oil palm.  It is known that rubber trees are prone to a wide range of foliar diseases, resulting in significant yield losses. To date, a new emerging severe leaf disease epidemic tentatively termed as Pestalotiopsis secondary leaf fall was identified affecting many rubber plantations in rubber producing countries.  In addition, five major leaf diseases that have been conclusively identified affecting rubber plantations nation-wide in Malaysia were also reviewed in this paper. These leaf diseases include secondary leaf falls of Oidium, Colletotrichum, and Corynespora, as well as Fusicoccum leaf blight and Phytophthora abnormal leaf fall. In general, this present paper reviews the recent epidemic and the major leaf diseases by focusing on causal pathogens, symptoms and its effects on rubber plantations. Information presented in this review would be useful in planning and initiating better control measures for rubber growing regions in an attempt to reduce or even prevent losses of latex yield.

Authors: Mwanishi Gregory , Msuya Dunstan
Published: March 2024

A study was conducted to assess the quality of farm-saved maize seeds in the Lake Zone of Tanzania about the seeds’ source (regions), drying methods, and packaging materials used by farmers. Seed samples were collected during the 2021/22 planting season. During seed sampling, information on seed source, drying method, and packaging materials was recorded and submitted to the TOSCI seed laboratory for seed quality analysis. Seed quality analysis was performed in the laboratory according to ISTA standards procedures. A factorial experiment with three factors: source of seeds, drying methods, and packaging materials 6 x 2 x 2 was used in RCBD. Results showed that all collected samples had moisture content that met the required standards for commercial seed classes, 85% of samples collected did not meet the germination percentage as per Tanzanian standards, and 54% of samples collected met the required seed purity as per Tanzanian standards. There was a highly significant variation across production areas and treatment combinations on all seed quality attributes. Seeds that were dried on tarpaulins and packed in hermetic bags were high quality compared to those that were dried on bare ground and packed in polypropylene bags. Conclusively, very few samples reached the required minimum quality standards as per Tanzanian regulations. This signifies that farmers are limited in the production of quality seeds. To have quality seeds, farmers should improve their seed management techniques or methods when saving the seeds.

INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF PLATFORM LEADERSHIP ON EMPLOYEE INNOVATIVE BEHAVIOR
Authors: Li Ying , Khan Muhammad Shahid
Published: March 2024

With the rapid development of information and digital technology in China, the Platform economy has been born, more and more enterprises appear as platform-oriented leaders. Platform leadership is a new leadership model with the core characteristics of "empowerment", "growth", and equal sharing. At present, there are few literature on integrating platform thinking into leadership theory both domestically and internationally, and there is even no concept of platform leadership internationally. As the Chinese economy enters a stage of high-quality development led by innovation, the innovation ability of employees determines the long-term development of enterprises. However, it is worth further exploring how platform leadership can influence employees' innovative behavior and ability. Based on the social exchange theory, the Social cognitive theory and the ability motivation opportunity theory, this paper introduces four variables of organizational learning, knowledge sharing, coworker support and psychological empowerment as mediating variables, and constructs a multiple mediating model of platform leadership influencing employee innovation behavior. Based on multiple theoretical perspectives, this article analyzes and reviews the impact mechanism of platform leadership on employee innovation behavior, constructs an integrated theoretical model, and discovers the possible mediating factors and pathways that platform leadership may affect employee innovation behavior. At the same time, some of the mediating factors found in this article, such as organizational learning and colleague support, have not yet formed a unified consensus on the concepts, types, antecedents, and outcome variables of these two influencing factors in domestic and foreign research. This article attempts to construct a relationship between platform leadership and these two variables, which can fill the gap in the discussion on the relationship between organizational learning, coworker support and platform leadership. Finally, through literature review and theoretical model construction, the author found that in the era of China's digital economy, enterprises should cultivate and value platform based leadership. This article also provides a theoretical basis for platform leaders to effectively promote employee innovation behavior.

Published: March 2024

The position of the lending and borrowing agreement which is covered by the substance of the sale and purchase of paid off land ownership rights, in this case the position is based on an agreement or loan agreement between the parties which requires the borrowing party to pay off the debt after a certain period of time accompanied by payment of a number of rewards. Lending within a certain period of time set by the lender. The loan recipient pays off the loan, by returning the loan money. The position of the lending and borrowing agreement relates to freedom of contract, the parties can regulate the contents of the agreement as long as it is not prohibited by law and propriety and in the contract must fulfill the terms of the agreement. This position is born from the existence of an agreement between the two parties, namely the borrower and the lender, so with this agreement the loan agreement is binding on both parties, that is, the parties cannot cancel the loan agreement without the approval of the other party. If the loan agreement is canceled or terminated unilaterally, the other party can sue. After the money that is the object of the agreement has actually been handed over by the lender to the borrower, the borrower must or has the obligation to return the loan on time to the lender in accordance with the agreement in the agreement.

Овај научни рад истражује успон вјештачке интелигенције (ВИ) и машинског учења који је довео до незабиљеженог напретка у различитим областима. Међутим, ове технологије нису имуне на пристрасности које постоје у нашем друштву. Термин алгоритамска пристрасност се односи на системске и систематске грешке које се могу јавити у процесима и одлукама које алгоритми доносе. Ове пристрасности настављају због различитих фактора као што су подаци које се користе за обуку алгоритама, изглед и функционалност алгоритма и људи укључени у процес. Алгоритми значајан утицај имају у друштвеним секторима гдје несвјесно уводе дискриминацију и пристрасности у обраду података, која као резултат има негативне посљедице за појединца или групе. Овај рад анализира постојеће друштвене пристрасности, изазове који настају због ових пристрасности и напоре који се улажу да се оне ублаже.

Penanganan penyakit yang seharusnya dapat tuntas ditangani di puskesmas menjadi sangat penting terkait pembayaran Kapitasi Berbasis Pemenuhan Komitmen Pelayanan (KBPKP) dan salah satu indikatornya adalah Rujukan Rawat Jalan Kasus Non Spesialistik (RRNS). Tujuan penelitian ini mengidentifikasi kemampuan puskesmas dalam penanganan penyakit-penyakit yang ditetapkan dalam Kepmenkes nomor 514 tahun 2015. Penelitian ini menggunakan data Riset Fasilitas Kesehatan (Rifaskes) tahun 2019 dengan jumlah observasi sebanyak 9831 Puskesmas. Analisis dilakukan dengan membandingkan kesesuaian ketersediaan alat, laboratorium, serta obat-obatan dengan ketetapan yang ada. Kesiapan puskesmas dalam pemenuhan ketuntasan penanganan penyakit berbeda menurut aspek geografis, status akreditasi dan pengelolaan keuangannya. Puskesmas yang berada di Pulau Jawa, berstatus terakreditasi, dan memiliki pola pengelolaan keuangan Badan Layanan Umum Daerah (BLUD) memiliki kesiapan penanganan penyakit yang lebih baik. Pemenuhan ketuntasan penyakit masih mengalami kendala dalam hal ketersediaan dan kecukupan peralatan, pemeriksaan penunjang, dan obat-obatan di puskesmas. Oleh sebab itu, perlu dilakukan sinkronisasi dan penguatan regulasi penetapan jenis penyakit yang harus dapat ditangani secara tuntas di puskesmas; meninjau kembali jenis penyakit yang dapat ditangani; serta melengkapi syarat minimal ketersediaan alat, kemampuan laboratorium, dan ketersediaan obat-obatan.
voyAGEr, a free web interface for the analysis of age-related gene expression alterations in human tissues

Published: March 2024

We herein introduce voyAGEr, an online graphical interface to explore age-related gene expression alterations in 49 human tissues. voyAGEr offers a visualisation and statistical toolkit for the finding and functional exploration of sex- and tissue-specific transcriptomic changes with age. In its conception, we developed a novel bioinformatics pipeline leveraging RNA sequencing data, from the GTEx project, encompassing more than 900 individuals. voyAGEr reveals transcriptomic signatures of the known asynchronous ageing between tissues, allowing the observation of tissue-specific age periods of major transcriptional changes, associated with alterations in different biological pathways, cellular composition, and disease conditions. Notably, voyAGEr was created to assist researchers with no expertise in bioinformatics, providing a supportive framework for elaborating, testing and refining their hypotheses on the molecular nature of human ageing and its association with pathologies, thereby also aiding in the discovery of novel therapeutic targets. voyAGEr is freely available at https://compbio.imm.medicina.ulisboa.pt/app/voyAGEr.
Body size as a metric for the affordable world
Authors: Feng Xinran , Xu Shan , Li Yuannan , Liu Jia
Published: March 2024

The physical body of an organism serves as a vital interface for interactions with its environment. Here, we investigated the impact of human body size on the perception of action possibilities (affordances) offered by the environment. We found that the body size delineated a distinct boundary on affordances, dividing objects of continuous real-world sizes into two discrete categories with each affording distinct action sets. Additionally, the boundary shifted with imagined body sizes, suggesting a causal link between body size and affordance perception. Intriguingly, ChatGPT, a large language model lacking physical embodiment, exhibited a modest yet comparable affordance boundary at the scale of human body size, suggesting the boundary is not exclusively derived from organism-environment interactions. A subsequent fMRI experiment offered preliminary evidence of affordance processing exclusively for objects within the body size range, but not for those beyond. This suggests that only objects capable of being manipulated are the objects capable of offering affordance in the eyes of an organism. In summary, our study suggests a novel definition of object-ness in an affordance-based context, advocating the concept of embodied cognition in understanding the emergence of intelligence constrained by an organism’s physical attributes.

WRKY transcription factors constitute one of the largest plant-specific gene families, regulating various aspects of plant growth, development, physiological processes, and responses to abiotic stresses. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the WRKY gene family of yam (Dioscorea opposita Thunb.), to understand their expression patterns during the growth and development process and their response to different treatments of yam and analyze the function of DoWRKY71 in detail. A total of 25 DoWRKY genes were identified from the transcriptome of yam, which were divided into six clades (I, IIa, IIc, IId, IIe, III) based on phylogenetic analysis. The analysis of conserved motifs revealed 10 motifs, varying in length from 16 to 50 amino acids. Based on real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis, DoWRKY genes were expressed at different stages of growth and development and responded differentially to various abiotic stresses. The expression level of DoWRKY71 genes was up-regulated in the early stage and then down-regulated in tuber enlargement. This gene showed responsiveness to cold and abiotic stresses, such as abscisic acid (ABA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA). Therefore, further study was conducted on this gene. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that the DoWRKY71 protein was localized in the nucleus. Moreover, the overexpression of DoWRKY71 enhanced the cold tolerance of transgenic tobacco and promoted ABA mediated stomatal closure. This study presents the first systematic analysis of the WRKY gene family in yam, offering new insights for studying WRKY transcription factors in yam. The functional study of DoWRKY71 lays theoretical foundation for further exploring the regulatory function of the DoWRKY71 gene in the growth and development related signaling pathway of yam.
