In present study, 10 preferred traditional vegetables from Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, were analysed for nutritional profiles. Moisture content in their edible parts ranged 83.43 to 94.78%. Maximum ash was recorded Portulaca oleracea, crude protein Colocasia esculenta, fibre Eryngium foetidum fat E. foetidum. Phosphorus maximum Ipomea aquatica, potassium C. zinc, calcium manganese Centella asiatica, copper Sauropus androgynous, sodium iron P. magnesium Amaranthus viridi cobalt...
Pathogens like Puccinia triticina, the causal organism for leaf rust, extensively damages wheat production. The interaction at molecular level between and pathogen is complex less explored. induced response was characterized using mock- or inoculated near-isogenic lines (with without seedling rust resistance gene Lr28). Four Serial Analysis of Gene Expression libraries were prepared from plants subjected to Sequencing by Oligonucleotide Ligation Detection, which generated a total 165,767,777...
MicroRNAs are endogenous small noncoding RNAs which play critical roles in gene regulation. Few wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) miRNA sequences available miRBase repertoire and knowledge of their biological functions related to biotic stress is limited. We identified 52 miRNAs, belonging 19 families, from next-generation transcriptome sequence data based on homology search. One specific novel was but could not be ascribed or assigned any known family. Differentially expressed 22 miRNAs were...
Bacterial wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum) is the most threatening disease of tomato in tropical regions and causes great loss to industry open protected cultivation. This study aimed develop an eco-friendly management module for bacterial Andaman Nicobar Islands India. For this, three experiments were conducted at Central Agricultural Research Institute, Port Blair, Islands, India, on genotype screening, grafting technique growing media during 2009–2012. Among 70 genotypes tested, none found...
WRKY proteins are a large family of plant-specific transcription factors associated with regulation biotic and abiotic stress responses, but how they respond to cereal rust pathogens has never been explored at the molecular level. Full-length cDNA TaWRKY1B was obtained from wheat cultivar HD2329 derivative containing leaf resistance gene Lr28 based on domain characteristics. The unique feature this factor close proximity DNA-binding consensus DNA element W-Box within open reading frame....
Background: Nutrients and bioactive compounds present in the foods are known to interact with genes alter their expression, which consequently results several chronic diet-associated disease conditions. Methods: In this review article, we did a literature survey highlight effects of compounds/nutrients on key metabolic pathways or genes, current "omics" based advancements human nutrition research, underlying ethical issues, future challenges towards diet personalization. The articles...
