Male NMRI rats were divided into control and treatment groups. The treatment rats received different doses of the DS seed extract, which was prepared from alcoholic smashed s...

usual MET-EL-S rubber stopper (3.97 and 3.99 mg/litre), as compared to bottles capped with Parafilm (2.32 and 2.26 mg/litre). For the nitric acid wash of the MET-EL-S rubber stopper, a zinc value exceeding 30 mg/litre was found. The contents of a bottle of the MET-EL-S quality-control serum was mixed and left inverted on the rubber stopper for five days, when the zinc value was found to be 6.80...

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) full-length DNA was amplified by PCR and cloned into a bacterial plasmid. The cloned TYLCV DNA was excised from the plasmid, ligated and the resulting monomeric circular double-stranded TYLCV DNA was used to inoculate tomato (Solanum lycopersicom) and datura (Datura stramonium) plants by particle bombardment. The bombarded plants produced typical disease sy...
