Storage and conversion of Eclipta alba synseeds and RAPD analysis of the converted plantlets
(SPRINGER, 2010-09)The encapsulated shoot tips and nodal segments of Eclipta alba were stored at 4, 12 and 20 °C under irradiance of 1.5 μmol m-2 s-1 and high conversion was observed in synseeds stored at 4 °C for 8 weeks. Duration of storage ... -
Threshold collision-induced dissociation of Sr2+(H2O)(x) complexes (x=1-6): An experimental and theoretical investigation of the complete inner shell hydration energies of Sr2+
(AMER INST PHYSICS, 2010-01-28)The sequential bond energies of Sr2+(H2O)(x) complexes, where x=1-6, are determined by threshold collision-induced dissociation using a guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization ... -
Entanglement cost of nonlocal measurements
(AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 2009-07-01)For certain joint measurements on a pair of spatially separated particles, we ask how much entanglement is needed to carry out the measurement exactly. For a class of orthogonal measurements on two qubits with partially ... -
Seed vigour-related DNA marker in rice shows homology with acetyl CoA carboxylase gene
(SPRINGER, 2010-01)Germination potential, i.e. vigour manifested at sensu stricto germination, was studied in 22 rice varieties to distinguish between the genetic control for low vigour (lv) at fresh harvest and lv after ageing of seeds. For ... -
Entanglement and perfect discrimination of a class of multiqubit states by local operations and classical communication
(AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 2010-02-01)It is shown that while entanglement ensures difficulty in discriminating a set of mutually orthogonal states perfectly by local operations and classical communication (LOCC), entanglement content does not. In particular, ... -
A Novel Copper Chelate Modulates Tumor Associated Macrophages to Promote Anti-Tumor Response of T Cells
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2009-09-16)Background: At the early stages of carcinogenesis, the induction of tumor specific T cell mediated immunity seems to block the tumor growth and give protective anti-tumor immune response. However, tumor associated macrophages ... -
A comparative study of cultivar differences in sucrose phosphate synthase gene expression and sucrose formation during banana fruit ripening
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009-10)Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) (E.C.2.4.1.14) is the key enzyme for sucrose formation in banana. A comparative analysis of expression profiles of SPS was carried out in association with sucrose metabolism patterns during ... -

Characterization of cultivar differences in beta-1,3 glucanase gene expression, glucanase activity and fruit pulp softening rates during fruit ripening in three naturally occurring banana cultivars
(SPRINGER, 2009-11)beta-1,3 glucanase (E.C.3.2.1.39) is the key enzyme involved in the hydrolytic cleavage of 1,3 beta-D glucosidic linkages in beta-1,3 glucans. This work describes a comparative analysis of expression patterns of beta-1,3 ... -
Tumor-shed PGE 2 impairs IL2Rγc-signaling to inhibit CD4 + T cell survival: Regulation by theaflavins
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2009-10-08)Background: Many tumors are associated with decreased cellular immunity and elevated levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a known inhibitor of CD4+ T cell activation and inducer of type-2 cytokine bias. However, the role of ... -
Contextuality within quantum mechanics manifested in subensemble mean values
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009-09-14)For spin-1/2 particles, using a suitable Mach-Zehnder-type setup with a spin-flipper, we argue that it is a direct consequence of the quantum mechanical treatment that an experimentally verifiable subensemble mean of the ... -
Understanding the molecular mechanism of transcriptional regulation of banana Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) gene during fruit ripening: An insight into the functions of various cis-acting regulatory elements
(Landes Bioscience, 2010-05-30)Recently, we have reported the characterization of promoter region of Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) gene in banana and investigated the role of some cis-elements/motifs, present in the promoter of SPS, in the transcriptional ... -
Eugenol protects nicotine-induced superoxide mediated oxidative damage in murine peritoneal macrophages in vitro
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2009-11-25)The present work is aimed at evaluating the protective effect of eugenol against in vitro nicotine-induced toxicity in murine peritoneal macrophages, compared with N-acetylcysteine. Eugenol was isolated from Ocimum gratissimum ... -
Reply to "Comment on 'Contextuality within quantum mechanics manifested in subensemble mean values' [Phys. Lett. A 373 (2009) 3430]" [Phys. Lett. A 374 (2010) 1397]
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010-04-26)In this reply, we point out that the claim by De Zela (2010) [2] is unjustified because the setup he discusses is not equivalent to the setup analysed in our paper (Pan and Home (2009) [1]). Hence his subsequent argument ... -

Information transfer using a single particle path-spin hybrid entangled state
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010-02-15)he path-spin entangled state of a single spin-1/2 particle is considered which is generated by using a beam-spitter and a spin-flipper. Using this hybrid entanglement at the level of a single particle as a resource, we ... -
An insight into the sequential, structural and phylogenetic properties of banana 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase 1 and study of its interaction with pyridoxal-5 '-phosphate and aminoethoxyvinylglycine
(INDIAN ACAD SCIENCES, 2010-06)In banana, ethylene production for ripening is accompanied by a dramatic increase in 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) content, transcript level of Musa acuminata ACC synthase 1 (M4-ACS1) and the enzymatic activity ... -
Prophylactic role of arjunolic acid in response to streptozotocin mediated diabetic renal injury: Activation of polyol pathway and oxidative stress responsive signaling cascades
