Tretinoin, a Vitamin A derivative, exerts antiviral effects against Chikungunya virus infection through the nuclear retinoid receptor signaling pathways

This study shows that Tretinoin inhibits Chikungunya virus infection in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo by modulating retinoic acid receptor signaling and reducing inflammation.

Genome-wide Identification of the Laccase Gene Family in White Jute (Corchorus capsularis): Potential Targets for Lignin Engineering in Bast Fiber

This study identifies 32 laccase genes in white jute, showing their expression patterns and potential roles in lignification, with two genes highlighted as candidates for low-lignin fiber development.

Whole genome assembly of the Little Millet (Panicum sumatrense) genome: A climate resilient crop species

This paper reports the de novo whole genome assembly of Panicum sumatrense, a climate-resilient crop, using long-read sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding, resulting in a high-quality reference genome.

De novo assembly of the whole genome of Moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia), an underutilized Vigna species of India

This paper presents a de novo genome assembly of Moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia) using PacBio and Hi-C data, annotates it, and identifies genes and molecular markers for genetic improvement.
