(SPRINGER, 2010-01)The present study investigated the linkages between drought stress, oxidative damages and variations in antioxidants in the three rice varieties IR-29 (salt-sensitive), Pokkali (salt-tolerant) and aromatic Pusa Basmati ... -
Plant response to alternative matrices for in vitro root induction
(ACADEMIC JOURNALS, 2009-07-06)The quest for alternative matrices for plant tissue culture is a continuing process. This inquiry has two aspects. One being commercial for low cost tissue culture, and the other obviously is the better root induction ... -
Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of pineapple var. Queen using a novel encapsulation-based antibiotic selection technique
(SPRINGER, 2009-06)A protocol for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of a local 'elite' Indian variety (Queen) of pineapple [Ananus comosus (L.) Merr, family Bromeliaceae] has been established using a standard transformation vector (pCAMBIA ... -
Fusarium elicitor-dependent calcium influx and associated ros generation in tomato is independent of cell death
(SPRINGER, 2010-02)Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici elicitor (EFOL-2) treatment induces cytosolic influx of calcium in Fusarium-resistant tomato suspension culture. The calcium signature was found to be biphasic, which is characteristic ... -
An unedited 1.1 kb mitochondrial orfB gene transcript in the Wild Abortive Cytoplasmic Male Sterility (WA-CMS) system of Oryza sativa L. subsp indica
(BIOMED CENTRAL, 2010-03-02)Background: The application of hybrid rice technology has significantly increased global rice production during the last three decades. Approximately 90% of the commercially cultivated rice hybrids have been derived ... -
Clinical and immunobiochemical characterization of airborne Delonix regia (Gulmohar tree) pollen and cross-reactivity studies with Peltophorum pterocarpum pollen: 2 dominant avenue trees from eastern India
(AMER COLL ALLERGY ASTHMA IMMUNOLOGY, 2009-12)Background Delonix regia and Peltophorum pterocarpum pollen are important aeroallergens for type 1 hypersensitivity in the tropics. The IgE-binding proteins of D regia and their cross-allergenity with P pterocarpum ... -

Trichoderma harzianum: occurrence in the air and clinical significance
(SPRINGER, 2009-09)Trichoderma harzianum, a filamentous fungus, is being widely used as a potential biopesticide. The potential of this fungus in causing skin sensitization, however, was poorly investigated as yet. The objective of this study ... -
Encapsulation and Regeneration of in vitro Derived Zephyranthes grandiflora: an Effective Way for Exchange of Germplasm
(NATURAL PRODUCTS, 2010-08)An attempt was made to develop a protocol for the preparation of synthetic seeds using in vitro regenerated, genetically identical bulbs of Zephyranthes grandiflora. Encapsulation was standardized with 4% sodium alginate ... -
DNA profiling of Capsicum landraces of Manipur
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2010-04-05)Seven chilli landraces of Manipur belonging to three cultivated species of Capsicum (Capsicum annum, Capsicum frutescens, and Capsicum chinense) form economically important food crops of the region. The genotypes were ... -
Clinical and immunobiochemical characterization of airborne Peltophorum pterocarpum (yellow gulmohar tree) pollen: a dominant avenue tree of India
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2011-05)Background: Peltophorum pterocarpum (yellow gulmohar, PP) pollen is an important aeroallergen for type I hypersensitivity in the tropics. Objective: To isolate and characterize the IgE-binding proteins of PP pollen for ... -
Effect of Different Strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes and Nature of Explants on Plumbago indica Hairy Root Culture with Special Emphasis on Root Biomass and Plumbagin Production
(NATURAL PRODUCTS INC, 2010-12)The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of three strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes (ATCC 15834, A(4) and LBA 9402) and the nature of explants (leaf and stem) on hairy root induction, growth and plumbagin ... -
DNA repair and recombination in higher plants: insights from comparative genomics of arabidopsis and rice
(BIOMED CENTRAL, 2010-07-21)Background: The DNA repair and recombination (DRR) proteins protect organisms against genetic damage, caused by environmental agents and other genotoxic agents, by removal of DNA lesions or helping to abide them.Results: ... -
Is stem twining form of Basella alba L. a naturally occurring variant?
(INDIAN ACAD SCIENCES, 2010-05-25)A naturally occurring circumnutating stem form of Basella alba L. has been characterized in the background of two procumbent stem forms of B. alba L., cultivated commonly as leaf vegetable. The difference between the ... -

(ELSEVIER SCI, 2010-05-07)A water-soluble immunoenhancing polysaccharide was isolated from the aqueous extract of fruit bodies of somatic hybrid (Pflo Vv5 FB), obtained through protoplast fusion between Pleurotus florida and Volvariella volvacea ... -
Effects of exogenous abscisic acid on some physiological responses in a popular aromatic indica rice compared with those from two traditional non-aromatic indica rice cultivars
(SPRINGER, 2009-09)The poor productivity and local confinement of indigenous aromatic rice varieties are mostly due to their susceptibility to salinity/drought/abscisic acid (ABA)-mediated abiotic stresses. It is thus essential to study the ... -
