Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the keywordsMolecular Genetic Basis of Starch Biosynthesis and Waxy Allelic Variation in Rice Grain QualityInnabat Sartbayeva, Aigul Amirova, Dana Mynbaeva et al.The culinary, nutritional, and industrial properties of rice (Oryza sativa L.) grains are fundamentally governed by the structural arrangement of endosperm starch, a complex physiological phenotype shaped by genetic architecture and environmental conditions. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the molecular pathways driving starch biosynthesis in rice, centering on allelic diversity within the Waxy (Wx) locus, which codes for … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 22 Sep 2026 · 479 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCriniviruses at the Crossroads of Virology and Agroecology: Molecular Dialogues, Vector Synchrony, and Translational Control Strategies in Crop SystemsMd. Abdullah Al Sabbir, Nabela Akter, Ankita Saha, Md. Motaher HossainCriniviruses, members of the Closteroviridae, illustrate how molecular evolution, vector ecology, and climatic variability converge to determine plant virus emergence and persistence. Although individual genomic and transmission traits are well studied, their cross-scale integration has remained limited. Recent advances in comparative genomics and high-throughput sequencing have revealed that bipartite genome reassortment, recombination hotspots, and quasi-species microdiversity provide the genetic flexibility … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 22 Sep 2026 · 469 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvances in Modern Biotechnological Tools for Sustainable Control of Plant Viral DiseasesNabela Akter, Ankita Saha, Md. Abdullah Al Sabbir, Md. Motaher HossainPlant viruses pose a major threat to global food production, causing yield losses across many staple and horticultural crops. Conventional breeding for resistance is typically slow and constrained by the number of available natural resistance genes. Recent breakthroughs in biotechnology have enabled the development of accurate, flexible, and environmentally friendly technologies to confer virus resistance. This review summarizes exciting developments … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 16 Jul 2026 · 726 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVegetable Beans: Comprehensive Insights into Diversity, Production, Nutritional Benefits, Sustainable Cultivation and Future ProspectsSayed Shahidul Islam, Shanta Adhikary, Mahabuba Mostafa, Motaher HossainVegetable beans, members of the Fabaceae family, have a rich historical significance as a source of plant-based proteins and nutrients. They have been cultivated worldwide for centuries, enriching the nutritional landscape and constituting a crucial component of human nutrition. The wide array of beans, including common bean, lima bean, tepary bean, mung bean, yard long bean, moth bean, adzuki bean, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 29 Apr 2024 · 5,826 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,399 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Abscisic Acid and its Relationship to Drought Stress Based on Cowpea Varieties with Different Capability of Drought ResistanceWei Lei, Shian Huang, Shaohu Tang et al.Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) is one of the most important grain legume supplying necessarily dietary proteins. Although its can tolerate drought environment, still the severe condition can limit the growth and development of this plant. Abscisic acid (ABA) has a crucial function in stress physiology, but little information is available for methods describing ABA determination in cowpea and its relationship … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2016 · 8,458 accessesView PDF Cite
