Identification and characterization of genes for drought tolerance in upland rice cultivar 'Banglami' of North East India.

Introduction: Rice is a major crop in Assam, North East (NE) India. The rice accessions belonging to NE India possess unique traits of breeder's interest, i.e.

In silico characterization and differential expression analysis of 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR) of .

Unlabelled: The 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR; EC1.1.1.

Identification and validation of plant miRNA from NGS data-an experimental approach.

miRNAs are class of endogenously initiated noncoding RNAs, which are most critical in gene expression and regulation at posttranscriptional level. They do so either by cleavage of the target mRNA or by translational repression. miRNAs are being given enough attention in recent years because of its role in myriad developmental processes including tumorogenesis and host-pathogen interaction.

An Insight Into Structure, Function, and Expression Analysis of 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA Reductase of .

Citronella () is one of the richest sources of high-value isoprenoid aromatic compounds used as flavour, fragrance, and therapeutic elements. These isoprenoid compounds are synthesized by 2 independent pathways: mevalonate pathway and 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol-4-phosphate pathway. Evidence suggests that 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR) is a rate-controlling enzyme for the synthesis of variety of isoprenoids.

Genome wide transcriptome profiling reveals differential gene expression in secondary metabolite pathway of Cymbopogon winterianus.

Advances in transcriptome sequencing provide fast, cost-effective and reliable approach to generate large expression datasets especially suitable for non-model species to identify putative genes, key pathway and regulatory mechanism. Citronella (Cymbopogon winterianus) is an aromatic medicinal grass used for anti-tumoral, antibacterial, anti-fungal, antiviral, detoxifying and natural insect repellent properties. Despite of having number of utilities, the genes involved in terpenes biosynthetic pathway is not yet clearly elucidated.

Novel insights into structure-function mechanism and tissue-specific expression profiling of full-length dxr gene from Cymbopogon winterianus.

The 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR; EC1.1.1.

E-microsatellite markers for Centella asiatica (Gotu Kola) genome: validation and cross-transferability in Apiaceae family for plant omics research and development.

Abstract Centella asiatica (Gotu Kola) is a plant that grows in tropical swampy regions of the world and has important medicinal and culinary use. It is often considered as part of Ayurvedic medicine, traditional African medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine. The unavailability of genomics resources is significantly impeding its genetic improvement.
