Effect of Chronotherapy of Antihypertensives in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Control Trial.

Introduction: There is a higher prevalence of non-dipping pattern in hypertensive chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Nocturnal hypertension has been shown to predict cardiovascular mortality and morbidity and is often superior to daytime blood pressure. We studied the effect of shifting or adding antihypertensive to night time on blood pressure profile of CKD III-IV patients.

Inheritance pattern of okra enation leaf curl disease among cultivated species and its relationship with biochemical parameters.

Okra production in eastern India at present is severely threatened by whitefly-mediated okra enation leaf curl disease (OELCuD). Identification of resistant genotype and understanding the genetic control and biochemical relationship of OELCuD resistance are prerequisite for developing an effective breeding strategy. This study was conducted employing six populations (P, P, F, F, BC and BC) of two selected (resistant x susceptible (RxS)) crosses.
