The evaluation of forty-six Tomato genotypes was performed against Tomato Leaf Curl Viruses (ToLCV) under natural conditions where the viruses were transmitted by white fly. However, ToLCV-infected plants ranged from 6.25 to 39.58% in the study. Thirty-four varieties/lines resulted in >10-30% ToLCV infection (MR), 5 varieties/lines exhibited >30 to 50% ToLCV infection (MS) and 7 varieties/lines exhibited 1 to <10% ToLCV infection (R). Plants that were likely ToLCV resistant ranged in percentage from 60.42 to 93.75. Comparatively, 5 varieties/lines indicated 60–70% ToLCV apparent resistance, while 12 varieties/lines showed 70–80% ToLCV apparent resistance. More than 80% of the ToLCV apparent resistance was generated by 29 varieties/lines. BARI Tomato-16 variety produced the maximum fruit yield (84.10 t/a), followed by the BARI Hybrid Tomato-5 (81.28 t/ha), the BARI Tomato-19 (81.23 t/ha), the BARI Tomato-14 (80.86 t/ha), the BARI Tomato-9 (81.20 t/ha) which were statistically at par. BD-10950 lines (10.33 t/ha) produced the least amount of fruit. Different varieties and lines with minimal ToLCV infection have higher fruit yields, indicating that they are most likely resistant to the infection.</em><strong><em></em></strong></p>2024-02-20T09:58:25+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Research & Reviews: A Journal of Life Scienceshttps://sciencejournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RRJoLS/article/view/3777Green synthesis of zinc oxide and copper oxide nanoparticles and their effect against wilt fungus, Fusarium udum.2023-12-30T08:39:30+00:00Geeta Rautelageetarautela1538@gmail.comRose Rizvigeetarautela1538@gmail.comNowadays nanoparticles (NPs) come out as powerful tools to enhance crop production and protection. Biosynthesis of NPs has a vital role and an alternate to chemical and physical methods because it is simple, easy, eco-friendly, and free from chemical hazards. Zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper oxide (CuO) NPs were synthesized from leaves extract of <em>Lantana camara</em> (L.) and <em>Nerium oleander </em>(L.) and characterized by using several techniques such as transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), UV-visible spectroscopy, and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). ZnO and CuO NPs were synthesized from the leaves extract of <em>Lantana camara</em> (L.) and <em>Nerium oleander </em>(L.) respectively. ZnO NPs and CuO NPs exhibited an inhibitory effect against the wilt fungi, <em>Fusarium udum. </em>Different concentrations of ZnO NPs (50µg/mL, 100µg/mL, and 200µg/mL) and CuO NPs (20 ppm, 50 ppm, and 100 ppm) were tested against the wilt fungi. Both the nanoparticles, ZnO NPs, and CuO NPs inhibited the growth of <em>Fusarium udum</em> but in dose dose-dependent manner. Results revealed that the growth of <em>Fusarium udum</em> was inhibited by various concentrations of ZnO and CuO NPs but significant reduction occurred at 100 µg/mL in ZnO NPs and 100 ppm in CuO NPs respectively. Overall, ZnO and CuO NPs positively reduced the growth of <em>Fusarium udum</em>. Therefore, the implementation of biosynthesized ZnO and CuO NPs could be considered eco-friendly and effective agents for crop protection as compared to chemical fungicides.2023-12-30T08:39:30+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Research & Reviews: A Journal of Life Scienceshttps://sciencejournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RRJoLS/article/view/3781First trimester neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio in pregnancy associated with preeclampsia patients in India: A brief review.2024-03-19T09:53:23+00:00Sumer Singhtarang.gupta0412@gmail.comTarang Guptatarang.gupta0412@gmail.com<p><strong>Background:</strong> Pre-eclampsia is a complicated syndrome that starts very early in pregnancy and has a known pathogenesis. However, the second or third trimester is when its clinical symptoms first manifest. Preeclampsia and NLR are related, according to the literature review, albeit the findings are ambiguous and contradicting. Moreover, there isn't a thorough assessment available from Indian contexts. As a result, the current review was designed with the goal of examining the NLR in preeclampsia, examining its significance for early identification, severity assessment, prognosis, and determining the NLR cutoff value. <strong>Method:</strong> Initially, 57 studies in total were obtained from databases. Following the elimination of duplicates, 28 studies in total were reviewed. Ten of those studies were eventually included in the qualitative and quantitative analysis after they satisfied the inclusion criteria. the specifics of the chosen papers from Indian healthcare settings between 2017 and 2023. Findings: A comprehensive analysis of 10 relevant studies comparing NLR in 678 preeclamptic participants with 1743 normotensive expectant mothers revealed a statistically significant overall effect supporting the utility of NLR investigations in preeclamptic prediction. According to the current review, NLR is a highly valuable predictor of preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is thought to be caused by placental hypoxia, which may be connected to this rise during 18 weeks of gestation. To the best of our knowledge, several more studies—the first of its sort conducted in Indian settings—are included in the current review. It is clear that NLR is a practical, affordable, and quick biomarker for preeclampsia. <strong>In conclusion,</strong> the review indicates that NLR is a valuable hematological marker that can be used for preeclampsia assessment and prediction. But it's also important to keep in mind that there are other important factors that can affect NLR in preeclampsia.</p>2023-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Research & Reviews: A Journal of Life Scienceshttps://sciencejournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RRJoLS/article/view/3790Study of Thyroid Disease in Pregnancy: A Review2024-02-17T05:51:05+00:00Marefa Tuz Zohora Limafatema.toma.phydu@gmail.comTanvir Ahmed Tamimfatema.toma.phydu@gmail.comFatema Tuz Zohora Tomafatema.toma.phydu@gmail.com<p><em>Pregnancy-related thyroid conditions, the second most prevalent endocrine disorders following diabetes, demand effective management to mitigate adverse consequences for both mother and fetus. Thyroid disease is associated with obstetric and child development complications, necessitating consideration from clinical and scientific viewpoints. This review consolidates current knowledge on thyroid disease in pregnancy, encompassing management, physiological changes, pathological functions, diagnosis, and treatment. Physiological alterations include thyroid stimulation by hCG, placental expression of deiodinases, and increased thyroid vascularity. Hypothyroidism, occurring in 0.6% of pregnancies, poses risks if untreated. Hyperthyroidism, affecting 0.2%, demands careful diagnosis due to TSH suppression in early pregnancy. Adverse outcomes include preterm labor, low birth weight, and impaired neurodevelopment. Post-delivery, monitoring and adjusting levothyroxine are essential, and anti-thyroid drug risks must be considered. Fetal and neonatal outcomes, influenced by maternal TRAb levels, require vigilance. Iodine's role in pregnancy, especially deficiency implications, underscores the importance of monitoring and supplementation. Postpartum care includes thyroid function tests and addressing postpartum thyroiditis, impacting 8% of women. Breastfeeding with antithyroid drugs requires cautious consideration, ensuring minimal impact on neonatal thyroid function. Screening for thyroid disorders during pregnancy remains debated, with case-finding limitations. Thyroid antibodies in euthyroid pregnant women correlate with adverse outcomes, necessitating careful monitoring. Recent research reveals a prevalence of thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO Ab) in women of childbearing age, emphasizing the need for meticulous monitoring due to the elevated risk of hypothyroidism during pregnancy. Despite inconclusive evidence, levothyroxine supplementation may be considered for TPO Ab-positive euthyroid pregnant women with a history of miscarriage. Effective management, early diagnosis, and tailored care contribute to improved maternal and fetal health, emphasizing the need for continued research and evidence-based guidelines.</em></p>2023-12-15T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Research & Reviews: A Journal of Life Scienceshttps://sciencejournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RRJoLS/article/view/3759A Review on Stem Cells and Their Applications2023-12-13T05:56:46+00:00Raxit Tyagiraxit.tyagi.bt.2020@miet.ac.inAkshaya Prakashraxit.tyagi.bt.2020@miet.ac.inShishir Tyagiraxit.tyagi.bt.2020@miet.ac.inSurya Prakash D.V.raxit.tyagi.bt.2020@miet.ac.in<p>Stem cells have a broad range of spectrum to develop into a diverse range of specialized cell types, showing great potential for transforming medical therapies. These undifferentiated cells have the amazing capacity to replace, regenerate, and heal harmed or ill tissues within the human body. Despite the significant progress made in stem cell research, obstacles such as ethical issues, immune rejection, and tumorigenicity demand ongoing research and strict protocols for use in therapies that require stem cells. Stem cell research, which is still in its infancy, has the potential to greatly improve human health and radically alter how we approach and treat a number of medical illnesses. The present paper presented an outlook on the different properties of stem cell which play an effective role in modern medicine such as cancer studies, immunotherapy, and drug delivery.</p>2023-11-14T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Research & Reviews: A Journal of Life Scienceshttps://sciencejournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RRJoLS/article/view/3715Soo-ul-Qiniya (Iron Deficiency Anaemia): Historical Succinct Review2023-12-13T06:43:26+00:00Hina Fatimadr.hinafatima91@gmail.comShagufta Anwardr.hinafatima91@gmail.comMariyam Roqaiya, Roqaiyadr.hinafatima91@gmail.comAzhar Hasan Khandr.hinafatima91@gmail.com<p><em>Anaemia or Iron deficiency anaemia is a widespread health issue that affects millions of people worldwide. Anemia is a state in which the body lacks sufficient haemoglobin, a protein located in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to various tissues of the body. This lack of haemoglobin can result in a decrease in the concentration of haemoglobin in the blood or a reduced percentage of haemoglobin as compared to the required level. Haemoglobin is a vital constituent of blood, which plays a crucial role in the body. It helps to transport oxygen to tissues and organs for growth and proper functioning as per the body's requirements. When the haemoglobin levels fall below the required level, the body's tissues and organs do not receive enough oxygen, which can result in various warning signs such as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and dizziness. The most prevalent form of anaemia is iron deficiency anaemia, which occurs when the body doesn't have enough iron to generate haemoglobin. It is frequently seen in hospitals especially in underdeveloped countries, with a higher prevalence of 20.8–73% among reproductive, non-pregnant women of childbearing age. Iron deficiency anaemia can also occur in men and women of any age group, especially those who do not consume enough iron-rich foods or have a poor diet. Unani physicians have suggested the use of liver tonics to treat anaemia. Ibn Sina has mentioned in Al-Qanoon that ‘Soo-ul-Qiniya’ is a condition in which the skin looks pale and yellowish, and swelling occurs on the face and body. There are plenty of iron supplements available in the market that can boost the body's iron levels, but they can lead to adverse effects such as digestive problems and low adherence. It is essential to understand the history of iron deficiency anaemia to address more aspects of this complex situation. The condition has been recognized for centuries, and there is a wealth of knowledge available on its causes, symptoms, and treatment options. By learning more about this condition, we can better understand its prevention and management, thereby improving the quality of life for patients suffering from this condition</em></p>2023-11-11T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Research & Reviews: A Journal of Life Sciences
