Hemp, scientifically known as Cannabis sativa, is an incredibly versatile plant that offers numerous benefits across various sectors, including production, medicine, and environmental sustainability. As one of the oldest cultivated crops, hemp has a rich history and an expansive range of applications that continue to...
The main focus of this paper is to see whether Kitb/kitlgb is necessary for HSC’s in the zebrafish model, if osm is a new cytokine important for HSC’s in the zebrafish model, whether osmr and kitb signalling are required sequentially for HSC specification, and whether...
The literal meaning of the word ‘depression’ has its origin in Latin ‘depressio’ meaning ‘press down’ and according to Oxford Dictionary it is ‘Feelings of severe despondency and dejection’ or ‘a mental condition characterised by feelings of severe despondency and dejection, typically also with feelings...
Introduction Bluetongue virus is from the genus Orbivirus in the family Reoviridae. Bluetongue virus is a non-zoonotic disease of ruminants like sheep, cattle, and deer that is believed to have originated in South Africa as early as the 18th century. This virus was first known...
Cereals comprise of the world’s major source of food. Amongst cereals, rice, maize and wheat are the major crops in terms of production, acreage and source of nutrition, especially in developing countries. Around 70% of cultivated land is committed towards the cereal crops. The global...
The famous scientist William J. Mayo (1928) once said “The aim of medicine is to prevent disease and prolong life, the ideal of medicine is to eliminate the need of a physician. ” With the the help of technologies available and being developed today we...
In the first experiment, our results supported the hypothesis that T. zuluensis reacts differently on exposure of light. However, it did not grow best in the darkness. The growth of pathogen was significantly different under different volumes of light and dark incubation. The growth under...
The process of “knocking down” an undesirable gene is called gene silencing and may be carried out via RNA interference (RNAi). RNAi is a way of silencing the BLG gene using specifically designed molecules of RNA that target the mRNA from the BLG gene and...
The blue green algae are the primitive members of the plant kingdom. The most of the blue-greens algae are unicellular, photoautotrophs and aerobic. They require mainly light, inorganic matter and oxygen for their growth. Spirulina are filamentous blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) always attracted the interest of...
Phytoplanktons are the most important biomass producers in global aquatic ecosystems. The organisms populate the top layers of the oceans and freshwater habitats where they receive sufficient solar radiation for photosynthesis. Algae produce approximately 52, 000, 000, 000 tons of organic carbon per year, which...
In 2017, the World Health Organization compiled a list of “priority pathogens”, this list included 12 antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Acinetobacter baumannii made the slot for “priority one pathogen for antibiotic research and development. ” A. baumannii infects patients in critical care units, demonstrates multi-drug-resistance and can...
Becoming a scientist has always been a dream of mine from the day I was first introduced to the captivating concepts of science and medicine in particular. The mental ability to approach a problem with the right amalgam of logic and reasoning has supported me...
My understanding of epigenetics is directly linked to my understanding of how basic genetics itself works. Cells, which are popularly known as the “building blocks of life” or the “smallest unit of life,” are like little workers in every human being that play a major...
Plant disease resistance give protection the plants from pathogens in the two ways :by performes structures and chemicals and to the induced response of immune system. Disease resistance is the reduction from the pathogens that are growing into are onto the plant. it elaborate the...
A noteworthy element that recognizes tissue culture research laboratories from most different sorts of laboratories is the necessity to keep up the replication of a biologic culture under sterile conditions(monoseptic), especially guaranteeing the nonexistence of microscopic organisms and growths. The facilities that are required along...
Today’s agriculture should exploit present day technology and grow along with it. It is a high time to create conducive environment in agriculture to better utilize technology and bring revolution in production of crops/foodgrains with higher quality while preserving the environment for our future generations....
Acidithiobacillus strains SP5/1 and HV2/2 are rod-shaped, Gram-negative, γ-proteobacterium, aerobically pyrite-oxidizing and Acidophilic bacteria that thrives optimally at 30°C and 45°C respectively (Klingl, Moissl-Eichinger et al. 2011). S-layer molecular structure similarity in symmetry in the closely related species can be used as a taxonomic characteristic...
Biotechnology is the use of living organisms for the welfare of mankind. Biotechnology refers to the understanding the metabolism of cells, also considers the characteristics of individual bio-molecules and their job in interaction networks. Mathematical modeling has become an important element to understand the complexity...
The Paramecium tetraurelia is an unicellular ciliate that can be found in almost any sample of still water. Paramecium tetraurelia is a widely distributed, free-living unicellular organism that feeds on bacteria and can easily be cultured in the laboratory(Beisson,et al.,1970). Its large size and complex...
