    Background: Post-translational modification of proteins by SUMO is critical for a wide range of cellular and developmental processes. Although SUMO proteins have been extensively studied in animals and, to some extent, in Arabidopsis, their precise functions in other crop plants are still largely unknown. Results: In this research, we identified 31 TaSUMO genes in genome of wheat. Phylogenetic tree unveiled that genes clustered into thirteen subfamilies. Chromosomal mapping unveiled the dispersal of 31 TaSUMO genes across 11 wheat chromosomes. The eleven pairs of duplicated gene were identified in the SUMO family. Ka/Ks ratio revealed that 8 duplicated TaSUMO genes went through purifying purification. Furthermore, it was noted that TaSUMO genes displayed significant conversation in their gene structure. In addition, analysis of promoters uncovered the presence of numerous cis-regulatory elements in the promoter region of the TaSUMO genes. The differential expression patterns were observed among TaSUMO family members across various tissues and in response to multifaceted stress conditions. Moreover, this investigation explored the miRNAs targeted to TaSUMO genes and expression profile in various tissues. Conclusion: Thus, the results of this study establish a strong basis for further investigation of the functions of TaSUMO genes across different tissues, developmental stages, phytohormone responses, and diverse stress in wheat.

    Background Soybean is a fundamental oilseed crop, recognized for its notable protein and oil levels. Tyrosine Sulfation (PSY) genes play an essential role in plant growth, development, and responses to stress. However, the precise functions and mechanisms regulated by PSY are still being explored. Currently, there is insufficient information on the PSY gene family in soybean. Therefore, this study conducted a comprehensive genome-wide survey to detect and PSY family members were categorized in soybean. Results The phylogenetic analysis revealed that PSY family was categorized into nine distinct groups. Further, we precisely mapped the locations of the 12 GmPSY genes across seven soybean chromosomes. Examination of gene duplication revealed six pairs of duplicated genes within the PSY gene family in soybean. A consistent gene structure pattern was observed among GmPSY gene family members. The alignment of GmPSY protein amino acid sequences revealed a conserved PSY domain present in all proteins. Furthermore, RNA-seq data from the Soybean Expression Atlas revealed varying expression patterns of GmPSY genes across different tissues. To validate the expression profiles, qRT-PCR analysis was performed on selected GmPSY genes using root tissues from contrasting soybean accessions. In addition, identified eight out of the 12 GmPSY genes as targets for ten specific miRNAs. Moreover, we constructed a protein-protein interaction network to explore the connections between GmPSY and other soybean proteins. Conclusion Thus, these discoveries lay a robust groundwork for future research aimed at elucidating the specific roles of GmPSY members across different tissues and under various stress conditions in soybean.

    Unexplored potential of carrot (Daucus carota L.) bioactive in combating cancer: an insight into intricate mechanisms
    (Taylor & Francis, 2026-01-27) Kumar, Santosh; Kesawat, Mahipal Singh; Kherawat, Bhagwat Singh; Singh, Archana; Kumar, Anmol; Kumari, Sweta; Alamery, Salman Freeh; Singh, Pratibha; Masika, Fred Bwayo; Manohar, Swati
    The rising incidence of cancer, combined with costs, toxicity, and side effects of conventional treatments such as immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, underscores the need for preventive strategies. Natural phyto-bioactives, have attracted increasing scientific interest due to their diverse biological activities. These phytochemicals in carrots have been studied for their roles in modulating intracellular signalling pathways in vitro and preclinical studies. Carrots contain an abundant spectrum of bioactive compounds, including phenolics, carotenoids, polyacetylenes, ascorbic acid, and dietary fiber. These constituents have been reported to modulate processes such as apoptosis, oxidative stress, inflammation, angiogenesis, and pathways involved in cell proliferation in experimental systems. This comprehensive review studies findings from preclinical studies, epidemiological research, and meta-analyses to evaluate the biological activities of carrot bioactives in cancer-relevant biological mechanisms. By examining their ability to modulate molecular pathways involved in tumour invasion and metastasis, this review highlights the potential mechanistic relevance of carrot-derived phytoactive compounds against metastatic cells. Although preclinical studies suggest that these bioactives may influence processes associated with tumour progression, the available evidence is largely derived from in vitro and animal models, and therefore requires validation through translational research and well-designed, large-scale clinical trials. Rather than establishing definitive cancer-preventive or therapeutic effects, current scientific findings support the role of carrot-derived bioactives as promising candidates for further investigation. Advancing research into the underlying molecular mechanisms of carrots may help identify specific phytochemicals that modulate pathways related to tumour invasion and metastasis, therby enabling the development of future cancer prevention strategies.
