Wheat cultivars with wide introgression have strongly impacted global wheat production. Aegilops geniculata (MgUg) is an important wild relative with several useful traits that can be exploited for wheat improvement. Screening of Ae. geniculata addition lines indicated a negative effect of 1Ug and the positive effect of 1Mg chromosome on wheat dough strength. Negative effect of 1Ug is probably ...

Classical Siddha medicine recommends the usage of functionally parallel substitute raw drugs in scarcity original material. The concept standard drug substitution is designated by Tamil term Matru sarakku, which emphasizes selecting alternatives either herbal or non-herbal sources based on certain attributes. Functionally similar materials are suggested for balancing deficit such parameters. Li...

rived from Amigo have been recognized as the most favorable for yield (Lukaszewski, 1990; William and The confounding effect of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genetic Mujeeb-Kazi, 1993). T1BL·1RS resulted in higher grain background has been addressed as the major factor in inconsistent yield, kernel weight, and above-ground biomass (Carver agronomic performances of 1RS translocation. The objectiv...

Enrichment of grains with anthocyanins is considered a feasible approach to improving the nutritional properties bread wheat. Here, two black-grained substitution lines either 4B or 4D chromosomes substituted by wheatgrass (Thinopyrum ponticum) 4Th were created via marker-assisted combining anthocyanin biosynthesis regulatory genes Pp-1, Pp3 (Purple pericarp), and Ba1 (Blue aleurone) in genetic...

Galactomannans [(1-->6)-alpha-D-galactose (Gal)-substituted (1-->4)-beta-D-mannans] are major cell wall storage polysaccharides in the endosperms of some seeds, notably the legumes. Their biosynthesis in developing legume seeds involves the functional interaction of two membrane-bound glycosyltransferases, mannan synthase (MS) and galactomannan galactosyltransferase (GMGT). MS catalyzes the elo...

Employing a neoclassical growth model with a constant elasticity of substitution production function, we develop a comparative static and dynamic analysis of the effects of the elasticity of substitution between inputs on the steady state growth path, growth threshold, speed of convergence and savings rates. Unlike earlier studies along these lines, we incorporate human capital, along with phys...

In this work we analyze the variability in substitution rates in the GP63 gene from Leishmania. By using a sliding window to estimate substitution rates along the gene, we found that the rate of synonymous substitutions along the GP63 gene is highly correlated with both the rate of amino acid substitution and codon bias. Furthermore, we show that comparisons involving genes that represent indep...

Measles virus (MV) possesses two envelope glycoproteins, namely, the receptor-binding hemagglutinin (H) and fusion proteins. Wild-type MV strains isolated in B-lymphoid cell lines use signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM), but not CD46, as a cellular receptor, whereas MV vaccine strains of the Edmonston lineage use both SLAM and CD46 as receptors. Studies have shown that the residue a...

Spectroscopic diagnostic technique are applied for the determination of excitation temperature Texc and electron density in Air Acetylene premixed laminar flame. A group of FeI spectral lines has been used to estimate Texc using Boltzmann plot. Electron number density was determined from atom ion line pairs for Cd and Zn using Saha Boltzmann equation after substitution the obtained value of exc...

In the course of structure-activity relationship studies, diversely substituted 1-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-isoindigo derivatives were prepared from commercially available indolines. Their antiproliferative activities were evaluated toward a panel of human solid cancer cell lines (PC 3, DLD-1, MCF-7, M4Beu, A549, PA 1), a murine cell line (L929) and a human fibroblast primary culture to get an in...
