Journal ArticleDOI
The SARS-CoV-2 B.1.618 variant slightly alters the spike RBD-ACE2 binding affinity and is an antibody escaping variant: a computational structural perspective
Abbas Khan,J. J. Gui,W. Ahmad,I. Haq,M. Shahid,Azhar Abbas Khan,Abdullah Shah,L. Ali,Zeeshan Anwar,Muhammad Safdar,J. Abubaker,N. N. Uddin,L. Q. Cao,Dong-Qing Wei,A. Mohammad +14 more
TL;DR: Insight is provided into the binding and structural-dynamics changes resulting from novel mutations in the RBD and NTD and the need for further in vitro and in vivo studies is suggested to facilitate the development of possible therapies for new variants of SARS-CoV-2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of Recombinant Tobacco Mosaic Virus To Achieve RNA Interference in Plants against the Citrus Mealybug, Planococcus citri (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae)
Arif Muhammad Khan,Arif Muhammad Khan,Arif Muhammad Khan,Muhammad Ashfaq,Muhammad Ashfaq,Zsofia Kiss,Azhar Abbas Khan,Shahid Mansoor,Bryce W. Falk +8 more
TL;DR: The data show that actin, chitin synthase 1 and V-ATPase mRNAs are potential targets for RNAi against P. citri, and that recombinant TMV is an effective tool for evaluating candidate RNAi effectors in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of potential RNA-interference-target genes to control cotton mealybug, Phenacoccus solenopsis (Hemiptera: Pseudococcuidae).
Arif Muhammad Khan,Arif Muhammad Khan,Muhammad Ashfaq,Muhammad Ashfaq,Azhar Abbas Khan,Muhammad Tayyib Naseem,Shahid Mansoor +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that RNAi is activated in P. solenopsis by feeding on N. tabacum expressing RNAi triggering elements of PsBur and PsV‐ATPase genes through recombinant PVX vector.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wheat Crop Yield Losses Caused by the Aphids Infestation
TL;DR: Positive correlation was found to exist between the population of aphids and Coccinellids among different wheat cultivars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field evaluation of selected botanicals and commercial synthetic insecticides against Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) populations and predators in onion field plots
Abdul Khaliq,Abdul Khaliq,Azhar Abbas Khan,Muhammad Afzal,Hafiz Muhammad Tahir,Abu Bakar Muhammad Raza,Arif Muhammad Khan +6 more
TL;DR: It is recommended that treatment with botanical or chemical insecticides should be repeated weekly consecutively at least three times to keep thrips populations below economic injury levels until crop maturity.
