Abstract The nature and the magnitude of genetic divergence were estimated in 52 rice genotypes using Mahalonobis’s D2 – statistics. The genotypes were grouped into 8 clusters showing fair degree of relationship between geographic distribution and genetic divergence. Cluster VIII showed maximum intra cluster divergence while inter cluster divergence was maximum between clusters IV and […]
Abstract A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of organic manures in combination with inorganic nitrogen fertilizer on activity of urease and dehydrogenase and yield on safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) during rabi season 2009-10 at Students’ Farm of College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University. Among the different combinations tried, […]
Abstract The purpose of study was to determine effect of inducer concentrations in the medium for production of Glutaminase enzyme from Erwinia. For production of glutaminase enzyme from free cells of Erwinia, various physical and chemical parameters were optimized. The microorganism Erwinia which is a source of glutaminase was procured from Institute of Microbial Technology, […]
Abstract Parthenium is known for its allelopathic potential on other plants including weeds and crops by releasing allelochemicals into its environment directly from aerial parts through washing of the plants by rain and/or through roots and/or by decay of the plants and remaining residue in soil. The extracts of various parts of parthenium plants namely […]
Abstract The current work aims to study the role of Microbial TPI in regulating the Human Lung cancer. Studies showed that there was a relative increase in the activity of the TPI in the patients suffering with cancer. The protein showed an increased expression in colon and bladder carcinomas. The study was undertaken to un […]
Abstract Green leafy vegetable consumption has been associated with decreased risk of persistent metabolic diseases. The in vitro thrombolytic property of curry leaves (Murraya koenigii) and palak (Spinacia oleracea) was determined by using human blood. Aqueous extract of Murraya koenigii exhibited maximum clot lysis at a concentration of 10mg/ml contributing to 22.14%. Spinacia oleracea revealed […]
Abstract Severe Accute Respiratory Syndrome is one of the types of Pneumonia, wherein the Victim suffers from severe Breathing Problem. It is a viral infection where in the Organism responsible is SARS Co V. In worst condition the patient may even die. Due to its intense effect there is a huge demand to develop a […]
Abstract Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor (BDNF) is a protein well recognized for its involvement in the growth and development of Neuronal system and synaptic plasticity. It plays a key role in Energy metabolism and Food intake. Studies were carried on the involvement of BDNF in the treatment of Diabetes and Obesity. The present study is […]
Abstract The present study involves production of cellulolytic enzymes by a newly isolated strain of Aspergillus niger isolated from decaying sugarcane bagasse. Solid-state-fermentation was employed using sweet sorghum bagasse as the substrate for the production of enzyme. One factor at a time approach was used to optimize the process variables like moisture content, pH, temperature, […]
Abstract Ricin, one of the well known plant toxins has played a vital role in the history of medicine. It is usually extracted from Ricinus Communis, a common plant. The use of these proteins in medical treatment since ancient times is reviewed. Later the proteins played important roles in the early days of immunological research […]
