Bamboo taxonomy and diversity in the era of molecular markers
(ELSEVIER ACADEMIC PRESS, 2008)A total of similar to 1400 species of bamboos are grouped under the sub-family Bambusoideae within the family Poaceae. The plant group harbours both herbaceous and woody members while the taxonomy has traditionally been ... -
Conservation of Swertia chirata through direct shoot multiplication from leaf explants
(SPRINGER, 2008-08)Swertia chirata is an endangered gentian species that prefers to grow at higher altitudes. This ethnomedicinal herb is known primarily for its bitter taste caused by the presence of important phytochemicals that are directly ... -
Agronomic, genetic and molecular characterization of MYMIV-tolerant mutant lines of Vigna mungo
(Science Alert, 2009)The Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus (MYMIV), transmitted through Bemisia tabaci causes severe damage in several grain legrnnes. Three mutant MYMIVtolerant lines, namely, VM 1, VM 4 and VM 6, along with the susceptible ... -
Quassin alters the immunological patterns of murine macrophages through generation of nitric oxide to exert antileishmanial activity
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2009-02)Objectives: The aim of this study was to characterize the in vitro antileishmanial activity of quassin, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine. Methods: The cytotoxic effect of quassin was studied in murine peritoneal ... -
Regeneration and characterization of Swertia chirata Buch.-Ham. ex Wall. plants from immature seed cultures
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2009-03-03)First generation immature seeds (R(1)) were collected from a field transferred micropropagated plant and seeds were induced to develop organogenic calli in Swertia chirata, a traditional revenue earning medicinal plant. ... -
Morphological and molecular characterization of Thamnocalamus spathiflorus subsp spathiflorus at population level
(SPRINGER, 2009-09)Comprehensive morphological characterization and an incidence of gregarious flowering in Thamnocalamus spathiflorus (Trin.) Munro subsp. spathiflorus are described. Twenty-eight key vegetative characters as well as ... -
Screening of superior fiber-quality-traits among wild accessions of Bambusa balcooa: efficient and non-invasive evaluation of fiber developmental stages
(EDP SCIENCES S A, 2010-09)The search for alternative fiber resources is receiving worldwide attention for the potential role of these fibers in climate and forest restoration. Among bamboos, Bambusa balcooa is generally preferred for industrial use ... -
Molecular Marker-Assisted Genotyping of Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus Resistant Germplasms of Mungbean and Urdbean
(HUMANA PRESS, 2011-02)Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus(MYMIV) belonging to the genus begomovirus causes the yellow mosaic disease in a number of economically important edible grain legumes including mungbean (Vigna radiata), urdbean (Vigna ... -
Proteomic analysis of salicylic acid induced resistance to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus in Vigna mungo
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2011-03-01)The role of salicylic acid (SA) in inducing resistance to MYMIV infection in Vigna mungo has been elucidated by proteomics. Twenty-nine proteins identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF, predicted to be involved in stress responses, ... -
Identification and validation of conserved microRNAs along with their differential expression in roots of Vigna unguiculata grown under salt stress
(SPRINGER, 2011-05)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 20-24 nucleotide long non-coding RNAs known to play important regulatory roles during plant development, organ morphogenesis, and stress responses by controlling gene expression. Although Vigna ...
