The occurrence of fringed wings insect, Pseudodendrothrips mori is a major pest of mulberry, which causes a considerable leaf yield loss and inturn damages its quality. Hence, an attempt was made to know the changes in biochemical constituents (Free amino acids, total soluble proteins, total reducing sugars, total soluble sugars, starch and total phenols) and photosynthetic pigments (total chlo...

The effect of replacing dietary Zn supplemented from inorganic (ZnCO3) source with organic Zn (Zn methionine; Zn-met) was investigated in 72 rats (98.42 ± 1.483 g) by randomly allotting to 4 diets (6 replicates/diet, 3 rats/replicate). Basal diet was prepared with purified ingredients without Zn. The control diet (AIN-76A) contained 12 ppm of Zn from ZnCO3 (100-I). In the other diets ZnCO3 was ...

The present study was undertaken to study the chemical, biochemical profiles of the cystic fluid of Cysticercus tenuicollis and to assess the pathological changes in the affected organ. Cysts were collected aseptically from the goat carcasses and were subjected to different chemical and biochemical test. Twenty four cyst among them were analyzed for different chemical and biochemical constituen...

A total of 57 colonies of Agrobacterium species was isolated from the root nodules of five different leguminous plant namely Pisum sativum, Sesbania rostrata, Vigna mungo, V. radita and V. ungiculata by using yeast extract mannitol agar (YEMA). All the isolated colonies were belonged to Agrobacterium species. The isolated bacteria were characterized and identified as Agrobacterium rhizogenes ba...
