Multiple chromosomal configurations and phylogenetic implications in Saccharum mitochondrial genomes

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Mitochondria play a crucial role in plant growth, fertility, and adaptation. Sugarcane (Saccharum hybrids) represents the world’s primary sugar and energy crop, while S. spontaneum and S. arundinaceum serve as valuable parental germplasm.

Structural and Compositional Characteristics of Technical Lignin Derived From Non‐Wood Biomass: Bagasse and Kash

Advances in Polymer Technology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Lignin is one of the available biopolymers on earth, so it can play a vital role in moving toward a bio‐based society. In this paper, lignin derived from non‐wood sources like bagasse and kash was characterized in order to facilitate its valorization. Lignin obtained from the soda liquor was considered as technical lignin, and it was compared with the ...

New insights into the evolution and functional divergence of the SWEET family in Saccharum based on comparative genomics

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background The SWEET (Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporters) gene family is a recently identified group of sugar transporters that play an indispensable role in sugar efflux, phloem loading, plant-pathogen interaction, nectar secretion, and ...

Effects of Sand Mining on Species Diversity, Stand Structure and Carbon Stocks in a Tropical Forest in Ghana: Implications for Biodiversity Conservation and Ecosystem Services

International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The extractive industry, particularly sand mining, underpins infrastructure and socioeconomic development in many tropical countries but poses severe ecological risks when poorly regulated. This study quantified the long‐term effects of sand extraction on plant diversity and conservation status, stand structure and carbon stocks at a 30‐year abandoned ...

Ecological Determinants of Endangered Hispid Hare (Caprolagus hispidus) in Shuklaphanta National Park, Nepal

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Hispid hare (Caprolagus hispidus) is an endangered lagomorph inhabiting tropical grassland ecosystems within the protected areas of Southern Nepal. In the study, we assessed distribution, influencing habitat characteristics, and associated threats to the hispid hare in Shuklaphanta National Park, one of its key habitats.

Tiger Habitat Occupancy in Chitwan–Parsa Complex: Implications for Human–Tiger Conflict Management Strategies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
The rebound of tiger populations in Nepal over the last decade has renewed hope for species conservation but also heightened the risk of conflict where humans and tigers coexist. Most of these tigers inhabit Chitwan–Parsa Complex (CPC), which includes core areas prohibiting humans and buffer zones allowing limited activities.

H3K4 demethylase SsJMJ11 negatively regulates drought-tolerance responses in sugarcane

BMC Plant Biology
Background Drought-induced gene alteration is usually associated with changes of histone H3K4me3 in plants. Histone methylation homeostasis relies on the coordinated activity of methyltransferases and demethylases. We previously demonstrated that SsJMJ11
