MINT‐7012095: cdc42 (uniprotkb:P60953) and Rab 35 (uniprotkb:Q15286) colocalize (MI:0403) by fluorescence microscopy (MI:0416)
Summary Arabidopsis MYC 2 bHLH transcription factor plays a negative regulatory role in blue light (BL)‐mediated seedling development. HY 5 bZIP protein works as positive regulator of multiple wavelengths and promotes photomorphogenesis. Both 5, belonging to two different classes factors, are the integrators signaling pathways. However, functional interrelations these factors development remain unknown. Additionally, whereas 5‐mediated regulation gene expression has been investigated detail,...
An assessment of rare and threatened Pteridophytes political India, classifying species into different categories, has been made based on our own field-observations, data from herbarium-collections, published literature. Their general range in India given, though only limited details extra-Indian are provided. Modern taxonomic concepts nomenclature have adopted. Our survey revealed that 414 (219 At risk, which 160 Critically endangered, 82 Near-threatened 113 Rare), constituting c. 41-43 %...
Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) Short Hypocotyl in White Light1 (SHW1) encodes a Ser-Arg-Asp-rich protein that acts as negative regulator of photomorphogenesis. SHW1 and Constitutive Photomorphogenic1 (COP1) genetically interact an additive manner to suppress Elongated Hypocotyl5 (HY5) is photomorphogenesis promoting basic leucine zipper transcription factor degraded by COP1 ubiquitin ligase the darkness. Here, we report functional interrelation with HY5 seedling development. The vitro...
MYC2 is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that acts as repressor of blue light-mediated photomorphogenic growth; however, it promotes lateral root formation. also regulates different phytohormone-signaling pathways in crucial manner. Arabidopsis response regulator 16 (ARR16) negative cytokinin signaling pathways. Here, we show directly binds to the E-box ARR16 minimal promoter and negatively its expression cytokinin-dependent While influence jasmonic acid signaling, regulated by...
Abstract To investigate surface glycoprotein changes during post‐testicular maturation, plasma membranes were isolated from proximal caput, distal and cauda epididymal rat spermatozoa. Membrane glycoproteins identified on Western blots of SDS‐PAGE fractionated samples using biotinylated lectins Vectastain reagents; these compared to present in luminal fluid. Lens culinaris agglutinin, Pisum sativum peanut wheat germ Ricinus communis Ulaex europaeus Dolichol biflorus agglutinin each bound a...
Abstract The rhizome essential oils of Curcuma angustifolia from Central and Southern India were subjected to GC/MS analysis, which resulted in the identification 81 78 constituents, accounting for more than 95 99% oil contents, respectively. major constituents xanthorrhizol isomer (12.7%), methyl eugenol (10.5%), palmitic acid (5.2%) camphor (4.2%), while rhizomes Travancore (Southern India) had germacrone (12.8%), (12.3%), isoborneol (8.7%), curdione (8.4%) 1,8‐cineole (4.8%) as...
Abstract The essential oil composition of four accessions, C‐62, P‐17, C‐45 and C‐59, with control LK Mentha × piperita , cultivated at the CIMAP Research Farm, Lucknow, were analysed by GC GC–MS, which resulted in identification 61, 74, 67, 68 55 constituents, representing 99.7%, 99.6%, 92.3% 91.6% oils, respectively. performance accessions C‐59 against was also evaluated. yield fresh material, 17.2, 18.2, 17.5, 16.4 18.0 tons/ha, production 72.6, 145.5, 80.1, 74.6 75.8 kg/ha, satisfactory....
Abstract The essential oil of Zingiber zerumbet (Zingiberaceae) obtained by hydrodistillation the rhizomes was subjected for GC/MS analysis, which resulted in identification 36 compounds. Curzerenone (14.4%), zerumbone (12.6%), camphor (12.8%), isoborneol (8.9%) and 1,8-cineole (7.1%), were found as major
Portulaca grandiflora, an important medicinal plant was found to show the incidence of shoot tip necrosis (STN) in cultures obtained from nodal explants Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 3% sucrose along 8 µM Kinetin 4 BAP. This physiological disorder is primarily due deficiency calcium boron content medium. Thus present work varying concentration which used form boric acid (0.1-0.4 mM), gluconate (3-30 mM) chloride were incorporated MS its effect on STN evaluated. The observations...
Zinc content of spermatozoa collected from the caput and cauda portions rat epididymis was determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The results showed about 60% reduction in spermatozoal zinc time they reach epididymis. This inhibited rats receiving micro dose oestrogen which incuced ‘functional’ sterility. It appears that fall during their transport is related to sperm maturation treatment interferes with this content.
Abstract NECAPs (adaptin ear‐binding clathrin‐associated protein) are a new family of clathrin accessory proteins identified through proteomic analysis clathrin‐coated vesicles (CCVs) from the brain. One member this family, NECAP 1, is found primarily in tissues central nervous system and has been shown to be complexed tightly with substantial portion adaptor protein‐2 (AP‐2) brain extracts. However, function intracellular location protein unknown. In study, we find that endogenous...
The bioyield phenomenon occurs during compression of an apple fruit by a mechanical probe, which results incell failure without tissue rupture. Because its minimal damage to the fruit, can be used fornondestructive or minimally destructive evaluation firmness. objective this research was develop probefor better measurement point for assess their based on premisethat soft-tipped probe would produce constant contact and uniform pressure distribution over area thefruit thus enhance detection...
Concomitant increase of auxin-responsive factors ARF16 and ARF17, along with enhanced expression ARF10 in resistant Sinapis alba compared that susceptible Brassica juncea upon challenge Alternaria brassicicola, revealed abscisic acid (ABA)-auxin crosstalk is a critical factor for resistance response. Here, we induced the ABA response through conditional B. using A. brassicicola-inducible GH3.3 promoter. Induced sensitivity caused by transgenic resulted tolerance against brassicicola led to...
Abstract Background Therapeutic resistance is the main cause of death in metastatic colorectal cancer. To investigate genomic plasticity, most specifically lesions, associated with response to first‐line systemic therapy, we collected longitudinal liver samples and characterized copy number aberration (CNA) landscape its effect on transcriptome. Methods Liver biopsies were prior treatment (pre, n = 97) when clinical imaging demonstrated therapeutic (post, 43). CNAs inferred from whole exome...
The present investigation is a detailed study of the vasculature rhizome four species Polypodium (P. cambricum, P. fauriei, interjectum, and sibricum). vascular architecture rhizomes studied denotes line reduction simplification characters. characteristic nature association branches with leaves in seems to be significant. Vascular morphology does not support close relationship Goniophlebium as has previously been hypothesized. However, more extensive needed arrive at any definite conclusion.
Abstract. The zinc concentration in the epididymis (caput, corpus and cauda regions), vas deferens caudal lobe of prostate adult rhesus monkeys was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Zinc content (μg/g wet weight) found to be maximum (709 μg followed deferens. three segments did not differ from one another their (165–177 μg). On a protein basis present nuclear fraction microsomal, cytosolic mitochondrial fractions that order. Ligation testicular efferent ducts or castration...
Abstract The zinc content in the three segments of epididymis (caput, corpus, and cauda), vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate juvenile monkeys was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Zinc (μg/gm wet weight) found to be maximum (328) deferens; other organs it measured following order: caput 191, corpus 238, cauda 193, 133 vesicles 85. In order investigate endocrine control these organs, two groups animals were treated with testosterone propionate (2 mg) or estradiol...
