  • Open Access Molecular Characterization of SCRBQ2 Gene in Anopheles stephensi from Pakistan and Its Expression Dynamics After Blood Feeding: Implications for Malaria Transmission Control

    DOI https://doi.org/10.65761/jbs.v2.i1.6
    Maria, Sana Shabana, Nazish
    pp. 1-4
    Background: Malaria remains a major public health challenge in Pakistan, with Anopheles stephensi serving as a primary urban vector. The croquemort-scavenger receptor class B2 (SCRBQ2) has been implicated in mediating Plasmodium invasion of the mosquito midgut and is…

  • Open Access Latitudinal Patterns of Flowering Phenology of Key Tropical and Subtropical Tree Species in Pakistan Using Citizen Science and Public Media Data

    DOI https://doi.org/10.65761/jbs.v2.i1.7
    Muhammad Haroon, Farhan Zafar, Samina Parveen
    pp. 5-8
    Background: Plant phenology, particularly flowering timing, is a sensitive indicator of ecological responses to climatic variability. Shifts in flowering patterns affect reproductive success, pollinator interactions, and overall ecosystem stability. Despite its importance,…

  • Open Access Assessing the Environmental Safety of Sewage Sludge: C. elegans as a Model for Toxicity Evaluation

    DOI https://doi.org/10.65761/jbs.v2.i1.9
    Sehrish Younas, Naveed Alam, Kamran Rauf
    pp. 13-16
    Background: Sewage sludge, a by-product of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), is frequently applied as an agricultural amendment due to its nutrient-rich composition. However, the presence of heavy metals, pesticides, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) raises…

  • Open Access Mitochondrial Alternative Oxidase Modulates Ascorbate-Glutathione Metabolism and Energy Homeostasis in Arabidopsis thaliana Under High-Light Stress

    DOI https://doi.org/10.65761/jbs.v2.i1.10
    Sohail Akhtar, Anila Hassan, Fiza Ahmed, Khalid Mehmood
    pp. 17-20
    Background : High-light stress induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in plants, challenging both redox homeostasis and energy metabolism. Mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX) is a key regulator of respiratory flexibility, potentially modulating antioxidant…
