    Artificial intelligence-based approaches to evaluate and optimize phytoremediation potential of in vitro regenerated aquatic macrophyte Ceratophyllum demersum L.
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2023) Aasim, Muhammad; Ali, Seyid Amjad; Aydin, Senar; Bakhsh, Allah; Sogukpinar, Canan; Karatas, Mehmet; Khawar, Khalid Mahmood
    Water bodies or aquatic ecosystem are susceptible to heavy metal accumulation and can adversely affect the environment and human health especially in underdeveloped nations. Phytoremediation techniques of water bodies using aquatic plants or macrophytes are well established and are recognized as eco-friendly world over. Phytoremediation of heavy metals and other pollutants in aquatic environments can be achieved by using Ceratophyllum demersum L. - a well-known floating macrophyte. In vitro regenerated plants of C. demersum (7.5 g/L) were exposed to 24, 72, and 120 h to 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 mg/L of cadmium (CdSO4 & BULL;8H(2)O) in water. Results revealed significantly different relationship in terms of Cd in water, Cd uptake by plants, bioconcentration factor (BCF), and Cd removal (%) from water. The study showed that Cd uptake by plants and BCF values increased significantly with exposure time. The highest BCF value (3776.50) was recorded for plant samples exposed to 2 mg/L Cd for 72 h. Application of all Cd concentrations and various exposure duration yielded Cd removal (%) between the ranges of 93.8 and 98.7%. These results were predicted through artificial intelligence-based models, namely, random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and multilayer perceptron (MLP). The tested models predicted the results accurately, and the attained results were further validated via three different performance metrics. The optimal regression coefficient (R-2) for the models was recorded as 0.7970 (Cd water, mg/L), 0.9661 (Cd plants, mg/kg), 0.9797 bioconcentration factor (BCF), and 0.9996 (Cd removal, %), respectively. These achieved results suggest that in vitro regenerated C. demersum can be efficaciously used for phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated aquatic environments. Likewise, the proposed modeling of phytoremediation studies can further be employed more comprehensively in future studies aimed at data prediction and optimization.

    Artificial neural network modeling for deciphering the in vitro induced salt stress tolerance in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L)
    (Springer, 2023) Aasım, Muhammad; Akın, Fatma; Ali, Seyid Amjad; Taşkın, Mehmet Burak; Çolak, Müslüme Sevba; Khawar, Khalid Mahmood
    Salt stress is one of the most critical abiotic stresses having significant contribution in global agriculture production. Chickpea is sensitive to salt stress at various growth stages and a better knowledge of salt tolerance in chickpea would enable breeding of salt tolerant varieties. During present investigation, in vitro screening of desi chickpea by continuous exposure of seeds to NaCl-containing medium was performed. NaCl was applied in the MS medium at the rate of 6.25, 12.50, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125 mM. Different germination indices and growth indices of roots and shoots were recorded. Mean germination (%) of roots and shoots ranged from 52.08 to 100%, and 41.67-100%, respectively. The mean germination time (MGT) of roots and shoots ranged from 2.40 to 4.78 d and 3.23-7.05 d. The coefficient of variation of the germination time (CVt) was recorded as 20.91-53.43% for roots, and 14.53-44.17% for shoots. The mean germination rate (MR) of roots was better than shoots. The uncertainty (U) values were tabulated as 0.43-1.59 (roots) and 0.92-2.33 (shoots). The synchronization index (Z) reflected the negative impact of elevated salinity levels on both root and shoot emergence. Application of NaCl exerted a negative impact on all growth indices compared to control and decreased gradually with elevated NaCl concentration. Results on salt tolerance index (STI) also revealed the reduced STI with elevated NaCl concentration and STI of roots was less than shoot. Elemental analysis revealed more Na and Cl accumulation with respective elevated NaCl concentrations. The In vitro growth parameters and STI values validated and predicted by multilayer perceptron (MLP) model revealed the relatively high R-2 values of all growth indices and STI. Findings of this study will be helpful to broaden the understanding about the salinity tolerance level of desi chickpea seeds under in vitro conditions using various germination indices and seedling growth indices.

    Evaluation of toxicity levels of micronutrient strengths on regeneration of grass pea under in vitro conditions
    (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2021) Barpete, Surendra; Aasim, Muhammad; Khawar, Khalid Mahmood; Ozcan, Sebahattin
    Grass pea is very sensitive to the deficiency or excessive amount of micronutrient elements like Fe, Zn, B, Mo that could disturb metabolic activities of the plants including inhibition in growth and their death. There is lack of information about the influence of these elements increased concentration in grass pea growth under in vitro conditions. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the availability and regeneration capacity of grass pea cv. Gurbuz using 1x (control), 2x, 3x 4x and 5x concentration of Fe, Zn, B and Mo in MS medium containing 1 mg/L thidiazuron and 0.25 mg/L naphthaleneacetic acid. The results demonstrated significant variations in regeneration capacity of the cultivar in respective treatments and showed inhibited response to enhanced concentration of Fe, Zn, B, and Mo supplies. All enhanced concentrations of Fe, Zn, B, and Mo treatments in MS medium resulted in poor shoot induction and reduced shoot counts per plants as compared to control. Each increase in concentration of Fe and B significantly increased shoot length, number of nodes/plants and internode lengths. Whereas, significant decrease in same traits were noted on MS medium containing enhanced concentrations of Zn and Mo. Root induction was completely inhibited using enhanced concentration of Fe and B. Whereas, root induction was promoted by Zn and Mo micronutrients in MS medium. The rooted shoots from Fe and Zn micronutrients content induced early flowering and maturity during hardening. The results showed that optimum micronutrient supply are key factors in successful regeneration of grass pea under culture conditions.

    HIGH FREQUENCY AXILLARY SHOOTS INDUCTION IN GRASS PEA (LATHYRUS SATIVUS L.)
    (Bangladesh Botanical Soc, 2017) Barpete, Surendra; Aasim, Muhammad; Ozcan, Sancar Fatih; Khawar, Khalid Mahmood; Ozcan, Sebahattin
    Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is highly recalcitrant and difficult to regenerate under in vitro conditions. An efficient and reliable protocol was developed for induction of effective in vitro regeneration of grass pea using embryos with two cotyledons. The maximum shoot regeneration frequency of 89.80% and number of 15.83 shoots per explant was induced on MS medium containing 2 mg/l BAP and 1 mg/l NAA. The mean shoot length decreased proportionately with each increase in TDZ concentration irrespective of the IBA. The regenerated shoots produced roots on MS medium containing 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/l IBA. However, rooted plantlets flowered in the rooting media.
