Telomeres are composed of simple tandem DNA repeats that protect the ends of linear chromosomes from replicative erosion or inappropriate DNA damage response mechanisms. The mammalian Protection Of Telomeres (POT1) protein interacts with single-stranded telomeric DNA and can exert positive and negative effects on telomere length. Of four distinct POT1 homologs in the roundworm Caenorhabditis el...

Mesembryanthemum crystallinum is considered a drought and saline stress-tolerant plant with many biological activities that has been revalued as cool flavouring plant. The objective of this work was to assess optimum mode cultivation M. produce edible parts under greenhouse conditions. Therefore, three soilless media were evaluated: peat, vermiculite hydroponic culture. Pot culture in peat did ...

The nature of variation in morphological characters in spores of arbuscular endomycorrhizal fungi (Order Glomales, Class Zygomycetes) has received little attention, despite the importance of these characters in modern taxonomy of the order. We tested the hypothesis that genetic variation exists in spore size and color (presumably important taxonomic characters) within a single isolate of the gl...

A pot culture study was undertaken to the effect of slag based gypsum as a source nutrient rice crop in an alkaline soil. The treatments included recommended dose fertilizer (RDF) control, 450, 600, 750 and 900 kg ha-1 (SBG) along with RDF. were replicated thrice complete randomized design (CRD) followed for statistical analysis. results revealed that application SBG recorded significantly high...

Conducting poly(o-toluidine) (POT) and poly(m-toluidine) (PMT) blends containing 10, 30, 50, 70, and 90 % wt/wt of polystyrene (PSt) were prepared by employing a two-step emulsion pathway. The bands characteristic of both polystyrene and POT/PMT are present in the IR spectra of POT–PSt and PMT–PSt blends. The UV-visible spectra of POT–PSt and PMT–PSt blends exhibit two bands around 313 and 610 ...

A pot culture experiment was conducted to study the effect of soil amendment with different forms groundnut waste on spore population and root infection indigenous Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungal species i.e. Glomus mosseae under polyhouse conditions. Two angiospermic plant viz. sorghum sesame were also examined for mycorrhization potential in study. Observations made percent colonization, densit...

Abstract Various kinds of substrates have been widely used for vegetables grown in soilless culture systems. The use biochar is getting a lot attention. However, the ideal proportion combined with vermicompost high yields has not thoroughly studied. This study aimed to examine pot experiment effect combination rice husk (15% and 30%) (50, 100, 150, 200, 250 g per pot) growing substrate on nutri...
