(SPRINGER, 2008-12)Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) (EC 2.3.1.14) is the key regulatory component in sucrose formation in banana (Musa acuminata subgroup Cavendish, cv Giant governor) fruit during ripening. This report illustrates differential ... -
Characterization of transcriptional profiles of MA-ACS1 and MA-ACO1 genes in response to ethylene, auxin, wounding, cold and different photoperiods during ripening in banana fruit
(ELSEVIER, 2008-12)The ripening-specific genes MA-ACS1 (Musa acuminata ACC synthase1) and MA-ACO1 (M. acuminata ACC oxidase 1) are regulated in response to a wide variety of factors. Here, we have studied the differential transcript accumulation ... -
Active cellular preform derived from stems of jute and sticks of cane and their suitability for bulk porous Si/SiC ceramics
(SPRINGER, 2009-04)Stems of Jute (Corchorus capsularis L.) and sticks of Cane (Calamus rotang L.), plants of immense economic importance in the Indian subcontinent, were converted into carbonaceous perform (C-preform) maintaining the circular ... -
Characterization of differential ripening pattern in association with ethylene biosynthesis in the fruits of five naturally occurring banana cultivars and detection of a GCC-box-specific DNA-binding protein
(SPRINGER, 2008-07)MA-ACS1 and MA-ACO1 are the two major ripening genes in banana and play crucial role in the regulation of ethylene production during ripening. Here, we report a comparative ripening pattern in five different naturally ... -
Comparative physiological and molecular responses of a common aromatic indica rice cultivar to high salinity with non-aromatic indica rice cultivars
(SPRINGER, 2008-08)In an attempt to understand the molecular basis of salt-stress response in the aromatic rice Gobindobhog, a comprehensive analysis encompassing physiological or biochemical assays and gene expression studies under high ... -
An improved micropropagation of Eclipta alba by in vitro priming with chlorocholine chloride
(SPRINGER, 2008-03)An efficient method of micropropagation for Eclipta alba from young nodal axils of shoot tip explants has been developed by giving special attention to 'priming' in vitro plantlets in view of increasing their hardening ... -
Cryopreservation of in vitro grown nodal segments of Rauvolfia serpentina by PVS2 vitrification
(CRYO LETTERS, 2008-07)This paper describes the cryopreservation by PVS2 vitrification of Rauvolfia serpentina (L.) Benth ex kurz, an important tropical medicinal plant. The effects of type and size of explants, sucrose preculture (duration and ... -
HARDENING - AN ESSENTIAL STEP FOR TISSUE CULTURERAISED PLANTS
(2008)High humidity is required for acclimatizing tissue culture raised plants after taking them out from rooting media and transferring to pots. In greenhouse, controlling the transpiration of these plants gradually does help ... -
Storage and plant regeneration from encapsulated shoot tips of Rauvolfia serpentina - An effective way of conservation and mass propagation
(ELSEVIER, 2008-11)Encapsulated shoot tips of Rauvolfia serpentina were stored at 3 different temperatures (20 degrees C, 12 degrees C and 4 degrees C). Synseeds converted randomly after 4 weeks of storage at 12 degrees C and 20 degrees C. ... -
Differential profiling of selected defence-related genes induced on challenge with Alternaria brassicicola in resistant white mustard and their comparative expression pattern in susceptible India mustard
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2008-11)The lack of availability of sources of resistance against Alternaria brassicicola within the family Brassicaceae has made oilseed mustard plants a target for one of the most damaging and widespread fungal diseases, Alternaria ... -
