A dideoxynucleotide-sensitive DNA polymerase activity characterized from endoreduplicating cells of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) during ontogeny of cotyledons
(BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2007-04)Within this work we describe the purification and biochemical characterization of a ddNTP-sensitive DNA polymerase purified from mungbean (Vigna radiata cv B1, L.) seeds at 18 days after fertilization, when > 70% of the ... -
An ABRE-binding factor, OSBZ8, is highly expressed in salt tolerant cultivars than in salt sensitive cultivars of indica rice
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2006-08-30)Background: The bZIP class Abscisic acid Responsive Element (ABRE)-binding factor, OSBZ8 (38.5 kD) has been considered to regulate ABA-mediated transcription in the suspension cultured cells of japonica rice. Still, nothing ... -
Ultrastuctural dimorphism of micropyle determines differential germinability of Sesbania cannabina seeds
(ISTA-INT SEED TESTING ASSOC, 2006)S. cannabina seeds, obtained from a naturally occurring single population contained both dormant and non-dormant seeds. The water uptake pattern indicated that non-dormant seeds absorbed sufficient water to allow them to ... -
Specific and randomly derived immunoactive peptide mimotopes of mycobacterial antigens
(AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY, 2006-10)The mycobacterial cell surface contains complex nonprotein antigens that are highly immunoactive in nature. However, these antigens are chemically heterogeneous and structurally complex, thereby limiting their applications. ... -
Isolation of low erucic acid-containing genotype of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea Czern. and Coss.) through F-1 hybrid anther culture
(ACADEMIC JOURNALS, 2006-11-16)Reciprocal crosses were done between two cultivars; cv. RJ15 and cv. RLM198 of Indian mustard ( Brassica juncea). Anther derived lines designated as A(1) plants, were raised through anther culture from these F-1 hybrid ... -
Enhancement of in vitro micro corm production in Gladiolus using alternative matrix
(ACADEMIC JOURNALS, 2006-06-16)An efficient in vitro protocol for mass propagation of Gladiolus was developed. Basal portions of the innermost leaves responded readily in culture. Ten to fifteen adventitious shoot buds emerged from every responding ... -
Sex detection of Carica papaya and Cycas circinalis in pre-flowering stage by ISSR and RAPD
(CURRENT SCIENCE ASSN, 2007-02-25)The sex of Carica papaya, an angiosperm and Cycas circinalis, a gymnosperm was studied using ISSR and RAPD techniques in pre-flowering stage. One female-specific band generated from ISSR profile using primer (GACA)(4) was ... -
The G23 and G25 genes of temperate mycobacteriophage L1 are essential for the transcription of its late genes
(SPRINGER SINGAPORE PTE LTD, 2007-03-31)Two lysis-defective but DNA synthesis non-defective temperature-sensitive (is) mutants of mycobacteriophage L1, L1G23ts23 and L1G25ts889 were found to be defective also in phage-specific RNA synthesis in the late period ... -
Studies on synonymous codon and amino acid usage biases in the broad-host range bacteriophage KVP40(M-T-2007)
(MICROBIOLOGY SOC KOREA, 2007-02)In this study, the relative synonymous codon and amino acid usage biases of the broad-host range phage, KVP40, were investigated in an attempt to understand the structure and function of its proteins/proteincoding genes, ... -
An unusual pro-inflammatory role of interleukin-10 induced by arabinosylated lipoarabinomannan in murine peritoneal macrophages
(SPRINGER, 2006-12)Various species of Mycobacteria produce a major cell wall-associated lipoglycan, called Lipoarabinomannan (LAM), which is involved in the virulence of Mycobacterial species. In this study, we tried to establish the role ... -
Effects of physical, ionic, and structural factors on the binding of repressor of mycobacteriophage L1 to its cognate operator DNA
(BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBL LTD, 2006)To determine the factors influencing the binding of L1 repressor to its cognate operator DNA, several gel shift as well as bioinformatic analyses have been carried out. The data show that time, temperature, salt, and pH ... -
A novel degradation pathway in the assimilation of phenanthrene by Staphylococcus sp strain PN/Y via meta-cleavage of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid: formation of trans-2,3-dioxo-5-(2 '-hydroxyphenyl)pent-4-enoic acid
(SOC GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY, 2007-07)Staphylococcus sp. strain PN/Y, capable of utilizing phenanthrene as a sole source of carbon and energy, was isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil. In the degradation of phenanthrene by strain PN/Y, various metabolites, ... -
Factors influencing synonymous codon and amino acid usage biases in Mimivirus
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2006-08)Synonymous codon and amino acid usage biases have been investigated in 903 Mimivirus protein-coding genes in order to understand the architecture and evolution of Mimivirus genome. As expected for an AT-rich genome, third ... -
Complete degradation of butyl benzyl phthalate by a defined bacterial consortium: Role of individual isolates in the assimilation pathway
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2008-01)Two bacterial strains, in consortium, were isolated by enrichment techniques from municipal waste-contaminated soil, which utilized butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) as the sole carbon source. One of the isolates was identified ... -
