Pinus pseudostrobus Lindl. is a species endemic to Mexico and widely used in reforestation programmes, as it highly adapted poor, shallow, limestone soils has high commercial importance. However, necessary preserve this genetic material since trouble due rates of deforestation, land use change, forest fires, so have effective strategies obtain good quality seedlings. Due the properties LED (lig...

Fluorescent pigments appear to glow because ultraviolet (UV) light is absorbed and reemitted at longer wavelengths. Humans use fluorescence as a highlighter, but it remains a mystery whether naturally occurring fluorescence functions as a signal or is a by-product of pigment structure. Here, we test for evidence of signaling using the fluorescent plumage of parrots (1). We performed mate choice...

Fluorescent dyes are getting popularity for last few decades due to their extraordinary applications in cell imaging. We have discovered organic Beet root extracted fluorescent (BREF) dye as an efficient pigment for effective cell imaging. By applying this dye to different types of human cells we obtained very good results in fluorescence cell imaging in case of all types of cells. We also have...

In the vertebrate retina, phototransduction, the conversion of light to an electrical signal, is carried out by the rod and cone photoreceptor cells¹⁻⁴. Rod photoreceptors are responsible for vision in dim light, cones in bright light. Phototransduction takes place in the outer segment of the photoreceptor cell, a specialized compartment that contains a high concentration of visual pigment, the...

The genomic framework that enables corals to adjust to unfavourable conditions is crucial for coral reef survival in a rapidly changing climate. We have explored the striking intraspecific variability in the expression of coral pigments from the green fluorescent protein (GFP) family to elucidate the genomic basis for the plasticity of stress responses among reef corals. We show that multicopy ...

Abstract Bacterial Grain Rot caused by Burkholderia glumae is an important disease of rice. In South Sulawesi, this seed-borne pathogen has been detected in several places. There were some reports from the farmers regarding rice yield loss due to disease. This study aimed isolate and characterize morpho-physiologically bacterium causing grain rot main rice-producing areas Gowa Regency, Sulawesi...
