A Comparative Study of Frontal and Cerebellar Lobe Volumes Between Patients With First-Episode Schizophrenia and Healthy Controls and Its Association With Psychopathology and Neurological Soft Signs in Patients.

Objectives Our study aimed to investigate the fronto-cerebellar volumes in both patients and controls, as well as explore their relationship with symptomatology. Our primary objectives were to compare the frontal and cerebellar lobe volumetric measurements between patients with first-episode schizophrenia (FES) and healthy controls and to assess the relationship of these volumes with psychopathology, cognition, and neurological soft signs in FES patients. The secondary objective was to explore the association of fronto-cerebellar lobe volumes with socio-demographic factors among patients and controls, as well as the duration of untreated illness (DUI) among patients.

Molecular phylogenetic and biogeographic evidence of Willd. (Acanthaceae, Barlerieae) focusing on Indian endemics.

Willd., a genus belonging to the Acanthaceae family, is primarily distributed in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, encompassing approximately 153 species. While considerable morphological research has been conducted on , it has not completely dispelled taxonomic ambiguities and conflicting interpretations.

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Artemisia littoricola (Asteraceae) from Dokdo Island Korea: genome structure, phylogenetic analysis, and biogeography study.

The Asteraceae family, particularly the Artemisia genus, presents taxonomic challenges due to limited morphological characteristics and frequent natural hybridization. Molecular tools, such as chloroplast genome analysis, offer solutions for accurate species identification. In this study, we sequenced and annotated the chloroplast genome of Artemisia littoricola sourced from Dokdo Island, employing comparative analyses across six diverse Artemisia species.

Cytogenetics, Typification, Molecular Phylogeny and Biogeography of (Arecoideae, Arecaceae), an Unplaced Indian Endemic Palm from Areceae.

is a genus of flowering plants which is an unplaced member of the tribe Areceae (Arecaceae). Two species are recognized in the genus, viz. Berry ex Roxb.

Evaluating genetic diversity of geographically diverse populations of Embelia ribes Burm f., a highly medicinal woody liana from the Western Ghats of India, using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and intersimple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers.

Background: Embelia ribes Burm f. (Primulaceae) is a medicinal and vulnerable woody liana distributed throughout India. Embelin, a well-recognized active phytoconstituents in berries, is commonly used in ayurvedic formulations.

Revised molecular phylogeny, global biogeography, and diversification of palms subfamily Coryphoideae (Arecaceae) based on low copy nuclear and plastid regions.

Coryphoideae are palmate-leaved palms from the family Arecaceae consisting of 46 genera representing 421 species. Although several phylogenetic analyses based on different genomic regions have been carried out on Coryphoideae, a fully resolved molecular phylogenetic tree has not been reported yet. To achieve this, we applied two phylogenetic reconstruction methods: Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference, using amplified sampling by retrieving chloroplast and nuclear DNA sequences from NCBI and adding newly produced sequences from Indian accession into the dataset.

Construction and implementation of floating wetpark as effective constructed wetland for industrial textile wastewater treatment.

Fimbristylis dichotoma, Ipomoea aquatica, Pluchea tomentosa and their co-plantation (consortium FIP) autonomously degrade Orange 3R. Consortium FIP showed 84% removal of Orange 3R within 48 h, which is a higher dye elimination rate than individual plant systems. Oxidoreductase enzymes like tyrosinase (76%), varatryal alcohol oxidase (85%), lignin peroxidase (150%), riboflavin reductase (151%), laccase (171%), NADH-DCIP reductase (11%) and azo reductase (241%) were expressed in consortia FIP during Orange 3R degradation.

Chebulinic acid and Boeravinone B act as anti-aging and anti-apoptosis phyto-molecules during oxidative stress.

Introduction: Aquatic pollutant Malachite green (MG) induces oxidative stress by producing intracellular HO and associated hydroxyl, hydroxymethyl or hydroperoxide radicals in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These radicals disturb cellular functions leading to early aging. Exogenous supply of natural antioxidants may play a crucial role as anti-aging by ensuring the cellular survival.

Co-plantation of aquatic macrophytes Typha angustifolia and Paspalum scrobiculatum for effective treatment of textile industry effluent.

Field treatment of textile industry effluent was carried out in constructed drenches (91.4m×1.2m×0.

Relative profile analysis of molecular markers for identification and genetic discrimination of loaches (Pisces, Nemacheilidae).

Genus Nemacheilus, Nemachilichthys and Schistura belong to the family Nemacheilidae of the order Cypriniformes. The present investigation was undertaken to observe genetic diversity, phylogenetic relationship and to develop a molecular-based tool for taxonomic identification. For this purpose, four different types of molecular markers were utilized in which 29 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), 25 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers, and 10 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) marker sets were screened and mitochondrial COI gene was sequenced.

Phylogenetic analysis, genetic diversity and relationships between the recently segregated species of Corynandra and Cleoserrata from the genus Cleome using DNA barcoding and molecular markers.

Cleome is the largest genus in the family Cleomaceae and it is known for its various medicinal properties. Recently, some species from the Cleome genus (Cleome viscosa, Cleome chelidonii, Cleome felina and Cleome speciosa) are split into genera Corynandra (Corynandra viscosa, Corynandra chelidonii, Corynandra felina), and Cleoserrata (Cleoserrata speciosa). The objective of this study was to obtain DNA barcodes for these species for their accurate identification and determining phylogenetic relationships.

Analysis of genetic variability in endemic medicinal plants of genus Chlorophytum from the Indian subcontinent using amplified fragment length polymorphism marker.

The genus Chlorophytum consists of medicinally important species like Chlorophytum borivilianum, C. tuberosum and C. attenuatum.
