Peroxisomal KAT2 (3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase 2) gene has a key role in gingerol biosynthesis in ginger ( Rosc.).

Unlabelled: Ginger is an important spice crop with medicinal values and gingerols are the most abundant pungent polyphenols present in ginger, responsible for most of its pharmacological properties. The present study focuses on the molecular mechanism of gingerol biosynthesis in ginger using transcriptome analysis. Suppression Subtractive Hybridization (SSH) was done in leaf and rhizome tissues using high gingerol-producing ginger somaclone B3 as the tester and parent cultivar Maran as the driver and generated high-quality leaf and rhizome Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs).

Molecular analysis of aroma gene (BADH2) in Biriyanicheera: a tropical aromatic rice genotype from Kerala, India.

Background: The aromatic rice cultivars sometimes show variation in aroma when they are grown in regions other than their normal traditional growing regions. An early maturing selection from a Kerala aromatic local landrace with short grains, named 'Biriyanicheera', when grown in normal tropical conditions was sufficiently fragrant. The present study focused on the analysis of aroma in 'Biriyanicheera' rice genotype through molecular methods.

Improvement of vitamin B status with Spirulina supplementation in Wistar rats validated through functional and circulatory markers.

Spirulina evaluated as a source of vitamin B through the modulation of vitamin B deficiency mediated physiological and biochemical changes in experimental animals. The B deficient male weanling Wistar rats were fed with Spirulina-supplemented diet for 10 weeks. An increase in urinary methylmalonic acid (22.

Isovaleric acid and avicequinone-C are Chikungunya virus resistance principles in (Retz.) Correa.

Background & Objectives: Oral administration of tender leaf extract of Glycosmis pentaphylla is traditionally known to prevent the chikungunya virus infection. Even with wide usage, the antiviral components in this plant are neither identified nor characterized. This study was carried out with the objectives of profiling the phytocompounds in this plant through LC-MS/MS and to identify the active antiviral constituents and their drug-likeliness through molecular docking.
