This commercially important plant also suffers a leaf spot disease caused by the fungus Alternaria alternata in various districts of Tamil Nadu, India. In the present study, […]
Abstract Mosquitoes act as vectors for transmission of many diseases since long period of time. Blood-feeding mosquitoes are much neater and more surgical; they insert a tube (proboscis) for drawing blood, by the time they are ready for their next meal, even on a second host after an interrupted meal, any bacteria or/and viruses from […]
Abstract PDK-1, 63Da serine thionine kinase has a well-known role in cell growth regulation and differentiation. It is over expressed in many cancer cells and considered as a novel target of many anti-cancer drugs. In the present study we have explored the affinity and interaction of some plant derived natural flavanoids against PDK-1 with insilico […]
Abstract The remarkable advances in DNA technologies over the past two decades had an enormous impact on human identification, medical diagnosis, population genetics, and crime scene investigation. Currently, DNA can be used very specifically to discriminate between individuals, using a wide variety of techniques. Depending on the amount of sample and the level of degradation, […]
Abstract Bioinformatics has been serving to identify many unknown sequences and bring their importance into lime light. The methodology used here is the comparative study of the unknown sequence with the known sequences in the database thereby annotating the unknown sequence. The aim of the current was to charecterize and annotates a Hypothetical human protein […]

Abstract Toxins have evolved in plants, animals and microbes multiple times as part of defensive and/or prey capture strategies. Peptide toxins are usually found in animal venom. Most venom comprises a highly complex mixture of peptides, often with diverse and selective pharmacology. The source of peptide is specifically snake venom which is usually neurotoxins. We […]
Abstract This study was conducted to develop an efficient protocol for mass propagation of Curcuma caesia L. Explants from underground rhizomes were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium and it is a slow propagating species. Multiplication and callus induction starting from the rhizome buds and shoot tips of Curcuma caesia in MS medium supplemented […]
