A simple and efficient protocol for in vitro shoot and callus induction was established from three different explants of Canavalia gladiata (Jacq.) DC. an economically important legume. The explants viz., shoot buds, nodes, internodes were cultured in MS medium supplemented with various concentration and combination of (PGRs) Plant growth regulators 6-benzyl amino purine (BAP) (0.5mg/L – 1.5mg/...

Merremia emarginata plants were treated with different plant growth regulators (PGRs): naphthyl acetic acid (NAA), phenyl acetic acid (PAA) and gibberellic acid (GA 3). To determine the role of wall stiffening enzymes in internode elongation, IAA oxidase and peroxidase in the presence of different hydrogen donors like caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid and guaiacol were assayed. The levels of total...

Mycobacterium bovis is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, a disease responsible for annual losses to global agriculture of $3 billion and with serious repercussions for public health and animal welfare. The UK program for the control of bovine tuberculosis involves regular testing of cattle with a crude preparation of mycobacterial antigens (tuberculin), followed by compulsory slaughte...

The polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) experiment has the characteristics of low-cost, rapidity, simplicity, convenience, high sensitivity and specificity; thus, many small medium laboratories use it to perform all kinds single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotyping works, as a molecular biotechnology for disease-related analysis. However, lack ava...

An investigation was conducted to study the effect of plant growth regulators on rice (variety Sarju-52) grown under sodic conditions, during kharifseason 2018 at students’ instructional farm ANDUA&T, Kumarganj, Ayodhya. The experiment laid out in randomized block design with nine treatments and three replications, different concentrations modes application (PGRs). PGRs were applied as foll...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis has a unique family of PE-PGRS proteins with conserved N-terminal domains (PE) containing site-specific proline-glutamine residues and polymorphic GC-rich repetitive sequences (PGRS). Tuberculosis (TB) patients produce antibodies against some such proteins, but it is not clear whether these responses correlate with disease. Clinical groups with different mycobacterium...

Forty-eight of 81 (59%) of N-nitrosomethylurea-induced rat mammary tumors regressed in average to almost one-half of the original size 10 days after ovariectomy (ovax) (hormone responsive), while 33 remained essentially unchanged (hormone resistant). AT 20 days after ovax, further decline in hormone-responsive tumors was observed when the rats were treated daily with 0.9% NaCl solution on the t...

BACKGROUND Precentral gyrus resections (PGRs) have been regarded as excessively hazardous interventions because of the risk of postoperative major neurological complications. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the neurological deterioration that follows PGRs and to assess the topographical risk factors associated with these morbidities. METHODS We reviewed 33 consecutive patients who experienced pharmac...
