Abstract Indiscriminate use of antibiotics has ensued into pathogen resistance, therefore, it is essential to discover the natural alternatives to combat the infectious diseases caused by these bacteria, and one scientific approach is to examine the antibacterial activities of the secondary compounds from medicinal plants that are considered to have significant prophylactic properties from centuries. […]
Abstract Mealey bug (Maconellicoccus hirsutus) is a serious pest of Terminalia arjuna which is the primary food for Tropical tasar silkworm Anthereae Mylitta Drury. It attacks the leaves of the host plant causing considerable damage which alters the leaf quality. An attempt was made to know the changes in the Biochemical components (Total soluble proteins, […]
Abstract Plant growth and developmental processes are very much regulated by certain chemical substances called Growth regulators. Growth regulators are known to improve the physiological efficiency including photosynthetic ability and can enhance the effective partitioning of accumulates from source and sink in the field crops. The present study was conceptualized and executed with the prime […]
Abstract Tyrosinases are a group of bifunctional enzymes that are involved in the hydroxylation of mono phenols to o-diphenols. These enzymes have their potential applications in several domains like Biosensors, biocatalysis in several pathways, and production of L-DOPA from tyrosine. Detection and removal of phenolic compounds from wastewater also involves the use of tyrosinases. In […]
Abstract Eight diverse lines of tomato were crossed with three testers in line x tester mating fashion to study combining ability effects and gene action for yield and yield contributing traits. The analysis of variance revealed that the variance due to line x tester effects were highly significant for all the traits under study. The […]
Abstract A field experiment was conducted during rabi 2009 -10 on sandy loam soil at Student’s Farm, College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Acharya N.G Ranga Agricultural University, Hyderabad, A.P, India to study the effect of organic manures in combination with inorganic nitrogen fertilizer on soil available nutrients status, nutrient uptake and enzymes ( urease and dehydrogenase) […]
Abstract Bcl-2 family of proteins is well known for its role in regulating the rate of apoptosis. They play a vital role in the onset of the adverse condition, Cancer. In this study we have highlighted the importance of the conserved residue interactions that occur amidst the anti- and pro-apoptotic members of the human Bcl-2 […]
Abstract Diabetes mellitus a well known disorder of current era has several direct and indirect causes for its onset. Glucose transporter type 4, also known as GLUT4, is a protein encoded by the GLUT4gene which is an insulin-regulated glucose transporter involved in insulin-regulated glucose transport into the cell. This protein is expressed primarily in muscle […]
Abstract Lakhs of children are kidnapped across the country each year and pushed into sex or organ trade or bonded labour but precious little is being done to find and restore them to their parents. For these children, it is living through the worst nightmare. Getting lost in markets and seeing strange faces all around […]
Abstract Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are the class of polypeptides, facilitating cold-adaptation in psychrophilic organisms, whereas, Choline dehydrogenase (CHDH), and Betaine-aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) catalyze the production of a common osmoprotectant, glycine betaine, which owes for organism’s freeze tolerance as well. The present Bioinformatics study selects three proteins: type 1 AFP, CHDH, and BADH from an extreme […]
