Salinity stress adversely affects rice (Oryza sativa L.) growth, development and overall productivity. Multiple strategies have been implemented to enhance the resilience of rice plants, enabling them to grow better in saline environments. Use of biofertilizers, a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers, has gained significant attention in modern agriculture due to their potential to improve soil fertility, enhance crop productivity, and mitigate environmental concerns. Biofertilizers encompass a diverse group of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and algae, which interact with plants through various mechanisms. These beneficial microbes have been reported to convert atmospheric nitrogen into plant-available forms and break down insoluble phosphates and zinc complexes in the soil. Additionally, they can also produce growth regulators, enhance nutrient availability, and protect plants against pathogens.
In our previous study, a salt-tolerant endophytic fungus isolated from the halophytic wild rice, Oryza coarctata, was identified as Aspergillus welwitschiae Ocstreb1 by whole genome sequence analysis. During the in-vitro experiments, the endophyte showed several plant growth promoting activities such as, zinc and phosphate solubilization, siderophore, IAA, and ACC-deaminase production, nitrogen fixation, etc. in both normal and 900 mM salt stress. In this study, the endophyte was used to formulate a biofertilizer in combination with talcum powder to enhance the growth and yield of rice plants under salinity stress. This research investigated the effectiveness of the biofertilizer in four distinct salinity tanks under both non-saline and 6 dS/m saline conditions, each containing three different varieties of rice. Treatment of BRRI dhan28 (BD-28), BRRI dhan67 (BD-67) and BRRI dhan87 (BD-87) rice plants with the formulated biofertilizer significantly enhanced their yield in both non-saline and saline conditions. Among the three rice varieties, BD-28 showed the highest significant (p<0.05) yield increase, with 104.20% under normal conditions and 3080.56% under salt stress. BD-67 exhibited a 45.15% increase in normal conditions and 153.64% under salt stress (P<0.05). BD-87 showed a significant yield increase only under salt stress, at 293.63% (p<0.05).
From the results of the study, it can be proposed that the formulated biofertilizer is a potential eco-friendly and cost-effective solution to improve cultivation and yield of rice in the highly saline coastal regions of Bangladesh.

Horseshoe crabs are the living fossils of xiphosurans that have survived for over 200 million years without morphological change and records fossil dating back 500 million years. A study was conducted on morphometric and molecular characterization of horseshoe crab Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda (Latreille, 1802) and Tachypleus gigas (Müller, 1785) from Bangladesh waters. A total of ten samples of C. rotundicauda and one sample of T. gigas were collected from Dublar Char, Sundarbans and Cox’s bazar from June 2016 to May 2017 and February 2024, respectively. Among them, four specimens were male and seven female. Morphometric measurements were taken from all the collected samples and differentiated male and female based on the second pair of legs, the pedipalps. The species were genetically identified using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. An average length of about 670.5 bp nucleotide sequences were obtained. Average percentage of nucleotide frequencies were T (30.3), C (16.3), A (34.4) and G (19.0) for C. rotundicauda and T (34.45), C (22.01), A (27.91) and C (15.63) for T. gigas. GC content analysis showed that average GC 36.20% and AT 63.80%. The average GC content at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd codon position were 38.82%, 37.87% and 31.92% respectively. This is the first report of DNA barcoding of a living fossil C. rotundicauda and T. gigas from Bangladesh and will serve as baseline information for future research, conservation and management of this invaluable primitive creature.

At present, the massive plastic pollution load into the environment has become an alarming issue in the world. Plastic wastes enter into the food chain through different ways and can cause serious health issues in aquatic animals and humans besides environmental pollution. Several techniques, including adsorption, coagulation, photocatalysis, and microbial degradation, as well as approaches such as reduction, reuse, and recycling, are currently popular. These techniques vary in their efficiency and the way they interact. Additionally, this review emphasizes the significant benefits and difficulties linked to these methods and strategies in order to comprehend the process of choosing viable paths toward a sustainable future. However, besides reducing plastic waste in the ecosystem, other alternative avenues have also been recently investigated to convert plastic wastes into value-added products for the circular economy. This review paper provides an overview of the currently documented methods and strategies focusing on the biological approaches used for the elimination of plastic trash and bioplastic development approaches. Furthermore, it is crucial to gain a comprehension of the key variables that must be highlighted while contemplating various methods and possibilities for bioplastic production, or insights into the potential utilization of these trashes as valuable resources or converting the plastic wastes into electricity, and transforming it into fuel. This review aims to offer readers a thorough summary of the current state of research about tactics and strategies to address the worldwide problem of plastic pollution.

Published: June 2024

Crop loss is multidimensional and associated with drought and the consequences of climate change. Drought damages crops and make losses to the marginalized people and make them more vulnerable in different channels alike other disasters. The work has been carried out in the Northwest region of Barind in Bangladesh to explore relevant issues that may lead crop damage by frequent drought. Research used various methods in this study to get together both qualitative and quantitative information along with primary and secondary sources. Survey was conducted using semi-structured questionnaire with the sample population. Few selective case studies were made to obtain more information on crop loss and drought. In this study, Ordinary Least Square technique was utilized.
The model of crop loss:
C= α0 + α1X1 + α2X2 + α3X3 + α4X4 + α5X5 + α6X6 + α7X7 + α8X8 + α9X9 + µ1
The study explored few variables including income of the households, their age, sex and migration that have no important influence on crop production and loss owing to drought. Other variables such as frequency of drought, study areas, sustenance, livelihood and agricultural land have the significant influence on crop loss and livelihood. It was mentioned by the households that frequency of drought is increasing two decades with increase the number of hot days. Result indicates the meaningful relationship between drought frequency and crop losses. Few adaptation measures like re-sowing, early sowing, late planting can reduce crop loss. A wide range of alternatives for livelihood activities such as small business, van pulling, handiworks and seedling production for nursery business were identified by this study. Drought insurance policy, early warning system, future research on emerging issues and local level knowledge are important for climate change adaptation and resilience.
