Genetic variability due to host plants was studied in whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Genn.), populations that were collected from fields of different crops (cotton, brinjal, potato, tomato and soyabean) and a weed (Sida sp.), and maintained on their respective host plants for 12 generations. Comparative RAPD-PCR analysis of these populations led to identification of 85 different polymorphic bands or...

An investigation was carried out to study the AM fungal association in Sida cardifolia from different parts of Karnataka. AM colonization in the roots, spore load and Phosphatase activity in the root zone soil collected from different parts of Karnataka were determined. AM root colonization was more in the roots of Sida cardifolia collected from Kolar and least in case of root samples collected...

Introducción: La aparición de terapias más eficaces para el tratamiento del Síndromes de la Inmunodeficiencia Adquirida (SIDA) redujo la morbi-mortandad y la desnutrición entre los pacientes infectados. Sin embargo, en los casos de desnutrición hospitalaria, son observados reducción de la ingestión alimentaria, mala absorción de nutrientes y alteraciones metabólicas inducidas por fiebre e infec...

Complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of two cockroach species, Periplaneta australasiae and Neostylopyga rhombifolia, 15,605 bp and 15,711 bp in length, respectively, were determined. As reported for other cockroach mitogenomes, the two mitogenomes possessed typical ancestral insect mitogenome gene composition and arrangement. Only several small intergenic spacers were found: one, which...

El virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) pertenece a familia los retrovirus, subfamilia lentivirus. Tienen una serie características específicas que son determinantes en compleja patogenia infección por el VIH. Con fin hacer actualización del tema se presenta esta investigación exponiendo un resumen lógico lo conoce hasta fecha con VIH y desarrollo Sida pacientes pediátricos. Es caso este ...

The present investigation highlights the free radical scavenging activity of Melochia corchorifolia, Sida acuta and Saccharum officinarum leaf extracts and their Phenolic contents by determining DPPH, Nitric oxide, Hydroxyl and Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity. The shade dried leaves were coarsely powdered and subjected to fractional extraction by using chloroform and ethanol. The extracts...

The present study is to evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of the ethanol (EESV) and aqueous (AESV) extracts of leaves of Sida veronicaefolia, against ethanol induced hepatotoxicity in rats. The hepatoprotective effects of EESV (500 mg/kg) and AESV (500 mg/kg) were estimated by liver function test and serum profile. The results revealed that both the extracts of selected plant produce signif...
