Abstract Glycerol 3 phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT, EC: 2.3.1.15) is recognized as a key player of cellular acyltransferase metabolism. It catalyzes the chain initiation step leading to triglyceride biosynthesis. The protein sequence of GPAT was retrieved from GenBank. However, a substantial and well defined structure is not available for this sequence. The 3D structure of GPAT […]
Abstract Nemaline myopathy is a disease that primarily affects skeletal muscles due to mutations in the Actin Protein family. The purpose of analysis was to determine the potential regions on the ACTA1 protein that have maximum probability of mutations. The identification of the disordered regions was performed using various tools like DISEMBL, GLOB PLOT and […]
Abstract The nature and magnitude of gene action were studies in L x T analysis comprising 6 lines and 10 testers for seed cotton yield and its quality traits. The magnitude of gca and sca variances revealed that pre-dominance of additive as well as non-additive gene action was important for inheritance of seed cotton yield […]
Abstract The current era of speed and drastically advanced lifestyle Food intake has become one of the major work being neglected and least preferred. This situation resulted in huge cases of Protein deficiency and Malnutrition. In view of the above problems the current work aims to evaluate the protein content among the selected pulses with […]
Abstract As the title indicates the current work aims to identify the inhibitory effect of plant growth regulators on the growth conditions of soybean. The work revealed that, seed yield and yield components were significantly increased by NAA at 20 ppm over other treatments and control. The application of brassinosteroid at 25 ppm, mepiquat chloride […]
Abstract In the current era of fast and corporate life style one of the major problems faced by the individuals is the health hazards caused by spoiled or improperly maintained food. Currently there is an extensive increase in the usage of packaged and stored foods that would always be a hub for all the diseases […]
Abstract Spoilage is the process in which food deteriorates to the point where in it is not edible to humans. Micro-organisms are mainly responsible for food spoilage which includes bacteria and fungi. A study was carried out on the fruits that were spoiled due to the fungal infection. Rhizopus, Trichoderma, Penicillium and Aspergillus were isolated […]
Abstract Structures of antiapoptotic Bcl-2-family proteins that protect the cells against death like Mcl-1 and Bcl-2 bear a surface groove into which the α-helical BH3 regions of certain pro-apoptotic proteins bind. This is done by occupying the hydrophobic pocket formed by the close proximity of their BH1-3 domains. The interactions among these proteins determine whether […]
Abstract The present study was aimed to investigate the phytochemicals present in the stem extracts of Coscinium fenestratum. The phytochemicals were further separated by TLC method using different solvents. Dried powder of the stem extracts of C. fenestratum was extracted with methanol and water and was tested for the different phytoconstituents. The stem of C. […]
Abstract Genotypic and phenotypic correlation among sixteen component characters was studied in 52 genotypes of Rice. Association analysis of parents revealed that Days to 50% flowering, plant height, seedling maturity after transplanting, number of productive tillers, Panicle excertion had high significant positive correlation with cold tolerance. Number of seeds/head, 100 seed weight, head diameter and […]
