Genetics and Expression Analysis of Anthocyanin Accumulation in Curd Portion of Sicilian Purple to Facilitate Biofortification of Indian Cauliflower.

The present study was undertaken to know the genetics of purple color of cauliflower curds using a Sicilian purple 'PC-1' and a white curding mid-late group genotype of Indian cauliflower. For this, a cross was attempted between 'DC-466' (white curd) and 'PC-1' (purple curd) and observed intermediate level of purple pigmentation on curds in F plants. Segregation of F population (173) revealed that the purple color of the curd was governed by a single gene dominant over white, but the expression of trait was incomplete.

Morphological and molecular changes on cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) introgression in Asiatic carrot (Daucus carota L.).

MAIN CONCLUSION: 'Petaloid' cytoplasmic male sterility is commonly used as a stable genetic mechanism in carrot hybrid breeding. Its introgression in tropical carrot showed morphometric changes and molecular markers were identified for detection at early stage. Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is the only genetic mechanism in carrot for commercial exploitation of heterosis and production of low cost affordable hybrid seeds.

CXCR4 Has the Potential to Enhance Bone Formation in Osteopenic Rats.

Unlabelled: Osteoporosis is characterized by reduced bone mass and aberrant bone microarchitecture, thus increasing susceptibility to fracture due to reduced strength and quality. The aims of this study were to investigate the role of CXCR4 transfected on stem cell homing and osteogenic characteristics in osteopenic rats, particularly elucidating the effect on cell migration.

Methods: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were harvested from young, and ovariectomized animals and transfected with CXCR4; these cells were administered intravenously in ovariectomized rats.

Conservation and Dispersion of Genes Conferring Resistance to Tomato Begomoviruses between Tomato and Pepper Genomes.

In the present climate change scenario, controlling plant disease through exploitation of host plant resistance could contribute toward the sustainable crop production and global food security. In this respect, the identification of new sources of resistance and utilization of genetic diversity within the species may help in the generation of cultivars with improved disease resistance. Begomoviruses namely, (TYLCV) and (ChLCV) are known to cause major yield losses in several economically important crop plants of the family Solanaceae.

High Quality Unigenes and Microsatellite Markers from Tissue Specific Transcriptome and Development of a Database in Clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba, L. Taub).

Peptide-modified nanoparticles inhibit formation of biofilms with .

Purpose: The interaction of g with commensal streptococci promotes colonization of the oral cavity. We previously showed that a synthetic peptide (BAR) derived from potently inhibited the formation of biofilms (IC =1.3 µM) and reduced virulence in a mouse model of periodontitis.

Introgression of Black Rot Resistance from to Cauliflower ( Group) through Embryo Rescue.

Black rot caused by pv. () is a very important disease of cauliflower ( group) resulting into 10-50% yield losses every year. Since there is a dearth of availability of resistance to black rot disease in (C genome), therefore exploration of A and B genomes was inevitable as they have been reported to be potential reservoirs of gene(s) for resistance to black rot.

Osteoporosis and ageing affects the migration of stem cells and this is ameliorated by transfection with CXCR4.

Objectives: Cellular movement and relocalisation are important for many physiologic properties. Local mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from injured tissues and circulating MSCs aid in fracture healing. Cytokines and chemokines such as Stromal cell-derived factor 1(SDF-1) and its receptor chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) play important roles in maintaining mobilisation, trafficking and homing of stem cells from bone marrow to the site of injury.

Adsorption of Amorphous Silica Nanoparticles onto Hydroxyapatite Surfaces Differentially Alters Surfaces Properties and Adhesion of Human Osteoblast Cells.

Silicon (Si) is suggested to be an important/essential nutrient for bone and connective tissue health. Silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite (Si-HA) has silicate ions incorporated into its lattice structure and was developed to improve attachment to bone and increase new bone formation. Here we investigated the direct adsorption of silicate species onto an HA coated surface as a cost effective method of incorporating silicon on to HA surfaces for improved implant osseointegration, and determined changes in surface characteristics and osteoblast cell adhesion.

Oral and maxillofacial surgery in medical schools in the United Kingdom.

It has been suggested that oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) is better established in dental schools than in medical schools, and as a result, dental students have a greater insight into the scope of the specialty. We explore how much time is allocated to OMFS in the undergraduate curriculum in medical schools in the UK, and the students' perceptions of the specialty. A total of 186 final year students from 5 medical schools were recruited in a questionnaire-based survey.
