Streamlining of Simple Sequence Repeat Data Mining Methodologies and Pipelines for Crop Scanning.

Genetic markers are powerful tools for understanding genetic diversity and the molecular basis of traits, ushering in a new era of molecular breeding in crops. Over the past 50 years, DNA markers have rapidly changed, moving from hybridization-based and second-generation-based to sequence-based markers. Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are the ideal markers in plant breeding, and they have numerous desirable properties, including their repeatability, codominance, multi-allelic nature, and locus specificity.

Wheat improvement through advances in single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection and genotyping with a special emphasis on rust resistance.

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers in wheat and their prospects in breeding with special reference to rust resistance. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based markers are increasingly gaining momentum for screening and utilizing vital agronomic traits in wheat. To date, more than 260 million SNPs have been detected in modern cultivars and landraces of wheat.

Effect of Yoga on Oxidative Stress in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: Diabetes mellitus has a significant impact on public health. Oxidative stress plays a major role in the pathophysiology of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), leading to various complications of T2DM. Yoga is being widely used in the management of T2DM.

Variations in DREB1A and VP1.1 Genes Show Association with Salt Tolerance Traits in Wild Tomato (Solanum pimpinellifolium).

Association analysis was conducted in a core collection of 94 genotypes of Solanum pimpinellifolium to identify variations linked to salt tolerance traits (physiological and yield traits under salt stress) in four candidate genes viz., DREB1A, VP1.1, NHX1, and TIP.

Optimization and Immobilization of Purified Labeo rohita Visceral Protease by Entrapment Method.

The purified fish visceral protease enzyme was immobilized by using various concentrations of sodium alginate and calcium chloride to optimize the best concentration for the formation of the beads. Then it was characterized by assaying the optimal pH, temperature, storage stability and reusability. The results on immobilization with sodium alginate and calcium chloride showed that a combination of 2% sodium alginate and 0.

Conjunctival impression cytology for detection of early vitamin A deficiency in children.

Children presenting with recurrent infections have a high risk of developing vitamin A deficiency. Conjunctival impression cytology (CIC) was used in the present study in such children to detect subclinical deficiency and to monitor the outcome after therapy. Seventy children with history of recurrent infections, and 10 healthy children in the age group of six months to five years were included in the study.

A histomorphological study of regional lymphnodes in carcinomas of breast, stomach and colon.

Introduction: Immune response plays an important role in the interaction between malignant neoplasms and their host, which is reflected as histologic changes in the lymph nodes draining tumours.

Material: 641 regional lymph nodes from 64 primary carcinomas of breast, stomach and colon were examined to assess such a response.

Methods: The lymphnodes were classified into one of the following histological patterns--lymphocyte predominance (LP), germinal centre predominance (GCP), lymphocyte depletion (LD) and unstimulated (U).
