A major portion of poultry feather waste is constituted by keratin, which recalcitrant to degradation common proteases. Feather contributes a significant volume biowaste load the environment. Valorization these wastes into various products has been attempted many researchers. The present study aimed produce peptides (molecular weight < 10 kDa) from action keratinolytic bacteria or keratinase enzyme and screen for pharmaceutical therapeutic properties. feathers were subjected hydrolysis using...
Perilla ( frutescens (L.) Britton) is a potential but often neglected oilseed crop. It has long cultivation history among tribal farmers in the hilly regions of North Eastern India and China. Perilla, with its rich fatty acids, essential nutrients, antioxidants, phenolic holds immense for climate-resilient agriculture rainfed areas. Large-scale perilla improves food security offers numerous health benefits, including cardiovascular support disease prevention, thereby enhancing human...
Twelve actinobacterial strains were isolated from tomato rhizospheric soil Manipur, a state in North East Indian Himalayan Region and screened for keratinolytic plant growth promoting traits. Nine promising isolates identified as Streptomyces species using partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Among the seven showing chicken feather degradation activity, three RCM-SSR-2, -6, -12 found to be most efficient degrading achieving 90% weight loss within 48 h of incubation. They also showed maximum...
Rapid postharvest physiological deterioration (PPD) in cassava ( Manihot esculenta Crantz) tuber is a significant concern during storage. The freshly harvested tubers start spoiling within 24 to 72 h. Accumulation of H 2 O one the earliest biochemical events that occurred PPD, which was detected using 3,3 diaminobenzidine (DAB) two contrast genotypes, MNP Local A (29–57 μg g –1 ) and Sree Prakash (64–141 ). Accumulating fluorescence hydroxycoumarin compounds emitted by observed under an...
The rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are transforming post-harvest technologies, offering innovative solutions to improve food quality, safety, supply chain efficiency. This paper reviews the role of AI-driven innovations processing logistics, with a focus on automation, predictive analytics, quality control. AI such as machine learning, computer vision, IoT integration, optimizing processes like sorting, grading, packaging, microbial detection, reducing...
Climate change poses significant challenges to global food security, necessitating the use of AI-based climate-smart agriculture (CSA) technologies improve crop resilience, reduce environmental impact, and optimize resource use. interventions can carbon emissions by 30–50% boost agricultural productivity up 25%. Machine learning approaches forecast yields with 90% accuracy, facilitating climate adaptation. AI insect surveillance pesticide application 30%, artificial irrigation systems save...
To assess the irrigation strategies, an experiment was conducted with three wheat varieties viz. BARI Gom-19, Gom-21, and Gom-24 four levels of no (control), one at crown root initiation (CRI) stage [17 days after sowing (DAS)], two irrigations CRI (17 DAS) booting (52 DAS), heading (67 DAS). Variety, their association revealed notable impact on yield wheat. Within tested, demonstrated highest performance, producing greatest total tillers/hill (4.43), effective (3.75), grains/spike (40.55),...
Abstract The study was carried out with the main objective to prepare silage using leaves of Melocanna bacifera a dominantly available bamboo species in Mizoram. chemical composition and fermentation coefficient (FC) fresh were analyzed before preparation. DM content ( baccifera ) 40.38 g per 100 leaves. buffering capacity sample estimated 30.95 mE DM. A lower water soluble (WSC) (4.8%) makes it difficult for ensiling without additives. uniform spray molasses solution (4%) applied compacted...
Muraglitazar, a dual PPARalpha/gamma agonist, caused robust increase in body weight db/db mice. The purpose of the study was to see if this due oedema and/or adipogenesis.The affinity muraglitazar at receptors characterized using transactivation assays. Pre-adipocyte differentiation, expression genes for adipogenesis (aP2), fatty acid oxidation (ACO) and sodium reabsorption (ENaCgamma Na+, K+-ATPase); haemodilution parameters serum electrolytes were measured delineate role causing gain vis...
Oxidative stress is the major cause of many health conditions, and regular consumption antioxidants helped to encounter prevent such oxidative stress-related diseases. Due safety concerns over long-term uses synthetic antioxidants, natural are more preferred. The purpose this study investigate antioxidant anticancer activities Jussiaea repens L., a wild edible flora found in Manipur, India. activity was evaluated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′-azino-bis...
This study reports a simple template-based reverse transcription-polymerase amplification assay (ST-RT-RPA) for detection of citrus tristeza virus (CTV) from crude plant extract lysed in NaOH:EDTA (1:1) without the need tedious RNA isolation. The developed showed versatility its usage as can be performed at wide temperature range (14°C to 42°C) and incubation time (4 32 min), although best conditions were 38°C 30 min. ST-RT-RPA could detect CTV up 10-8 dilution 0.01 fg µl-1 CTV-infected...
Manipur in India is endowed with rich biodiversity and abundant natural resources.Despite inaccessibility, marginality heterogeneity, the state has made good progress agriculture allied sectors.About 80% of population depends on for livelihood.However, sector facing consequences climate change.Climate change a reality an increasing trend temperature, precipitation emission greenhouse gases been observed Manipur.The also projected to experience more extreme rainfall reduction crop yields.As...
Shewanella algae is an emerging bacteria rarely implicated as a human pathogen. Previously reported cases of S. have mainly been associated with direct contact seawater. Here we report the isolation sole etiological agent from patient suffering acute gastroenteritis bloody diarrhoea. The bacterium was identified by automated identification system and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Our highlights importance looking for relatively rare aetiological agents in clinical samples that does not...
Chilli is infected by at least 65 viruses globally, with a mixed infection of multiple leading to severe losses being common occurrence. A simple diagnostic procedure that can identify once required track their spread, initiate management measures and manage them using virus-free planting supplies. The present study, for the first time, reports simplified robust multiplex PCR (mPCR) assay simultaneous detection five RNA viruses, capsicum chlorosis orthotospovirus (CaCV), chilli veinal mottle...
Wide variability was observed for all the characters among 110 lentil accessions. Stem colour varied from normal green (45%) to purple (55%). Prominent and rudimentary tendrils were found in 60% 40% of accessions, respectively. Among characters, flower showed highest variation. White 49%, violet 28%, white with blue veins 20% accessions rest 3% flowers. Red cotyledon shown by 90% while yellow 10% Green, grey brown seed coat 10, 66 24% Seed pattern dots 70% marbled 15.5% 14.5% did not show...
