(International Scientific Publications, 2004-03)Effects of conversion of natural forest dominated by Shorea robusta, supported on old alluvial soil, to exotic Eucalyptus tereticornis or Acacia auriculiformis plantation or to agricultural field for cultivation of rice, ... -
Production and characterization of nisin-like peptide produced by a strain of Lactococcus lactis isolated from fermented milk
(SPRINGER, 2005-09)An isolate of Lactococcus lactis from fermented milk was found to produce a bacteriocin peptide. The isolate could grow in a medium with an initial pH of 11.0, in which it produced the bacteriocin extracellularly at the ... -
An extracellular protease with depilation activity from Streptomyces nogalator
(NATL INST SCIENCE COMMUNICATION, 2005-12)An extracellular protease-producing actinomycete, Streptomyces nogalator strain Ac 80, was isolated from soil. Mutants of the strain designated as Mt C producing protease of higher (3.0 mg tyrosine liberated/min/mg protein) ... -
Varietal identification and assessment of genetic relationships in Hippeastrum using RAPD markers
(SPRINGER, 2007-11)The National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI) in Lucknow, India, maintains germplasm of Hippeastrum, a beautiful summer blooming ornamental. Germplasm collections comprise NBRI hybrids developed through selective breeding, ... -
Micropropagation of gerbera: lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzyme activities during acclimatization process
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2008-05)Gerbera jamesonii H. Bolus ex Hook (Family: Asteraceae) has been successfully acclimatized from temperate to subtropical North Indian plains of Lucknow through in vitro propagation. Flower heads were collected from greenhouse, ... -
Oxidative stress and antioxidant activity as the basis of senescence in chrysanthemum florets
(SPRINGER, 2007-11)Stems of chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.) cv. Maghi were harvested when half of the buds showed colour and were put in distilled water at 21 degrees C. Flowers showed visible senescence symptoms after 12-15 ... -
Floriculture - Role of Tissue Culture & Molecular Techniques

Role of Classical Mutagenesis for Development of New Ornamental Varieties
(Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, International Atomic Energy Agency, 2009)Mutation techniques by using ionizing radiations and other mutagens have successfully produced and commercialized a large number of new promising varieties in diferent crops including ornamental plants worldwide. ... -
A Report on 36 Years of Practical Work on Crop Improvement Through Induced Mutagenesis
(Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, International Atomic Energy Agency, 2009)Induced mutagenesis work was conducted from 1971 to July 2007, using both physical and chemical mutagens for improvement of a wide range of crops viz. vegetables, medicinal, pulse, oil-bearing, and ornamental crops. All ... -
Cyto-palynological, Biochemical and Molecular Characterization of Original and Induced Mutants of Garden Chrysanthemum
(Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, International Atomic Energy Agency, 2009)A large number of new somatic flower color/type mutants have been evolved by induced mutations in different ornamental plants. Few reports are available on the systematic work being done on the comparative analysis of ... -
Mutation in the lysA gene impairs the symbiotic properties of Mesorhizobium ciceri
(SPRINGER, 2010-01)A Tn5-induced mutant of Mesorhizobium ciceri, TL28, requiring the amino acid lysine for growth on minimal medium was isolated and characterized. The Tn5 insertion in the mutant strain TL28 was located on a 6.8-kb EcoRI ... -
Oxidative stress and antioxidant activity as the basis of senescence in Hemerocallis (day lily) flowers
(Academic Journals, 2009-09)Senescence can be viewed as a developmental change that leads to the death of plant tissues. Naturally senescence is generally accepted as being genetically programmed. Petals are the floral organs which primarily determine ... -
Management of chimera and in vitro mutagenesis for development of new flower color/shape and chlorophyll variegated mutants in chrysanthemum.
(2008)Mutation breeding is an established method for crop improvement and has played a major role in the development of many new flower color/shape mutant varieties in ornamentals. The main bottleneck with vegetatively propagated ... -
