A conserved SNP variation in the pre-miR396c flanking region in Oryza sativa indica landraces correlates with mature miRNA abundance.

Plant precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNA) have conserved evolutionary footprints that correlate with mode of miRNA biogenesis. In plants, base to loop and loop to base modes of biogenesis have been reported. Conserved structural element(s) in pre-miRNA play a major role in turn over and abundance of mature miRNA.

Changes in the contour of karyology and histoarchitecture of the primary respiratory organ in the fish Oreochromis mossambicus (Peters, 1852) inhabiting the polluted estuarine ecosystem.

The wetland ecosystem (WE) is subject to pollution by many anthropogenic activities, including domestic and industrial effluents. These effluents may contain toxic heavy metals that can interact within the aquatic ecosystem and have a capacity to disturb the metabolic activities, histological profile, and genetic structure and functions in aquatic species inhabiting the environment. The present study observed the karyological and histological alterations in gills of the freshwater fish, Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus in two different sublethal concentrations (1% and 3%) of heavy metals in 7, 15, and 30 days of experimental periods.

A Novel Breast Cancer Diagnosis Scheme With Intelligent Feature and Parameter Selections.

Background And Objective: Breast cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer among women, which contributes to the global death rate. The key to increasing the survival rate of affected patients is early diagnosis along with appropriate treatments. Manual methods for breast cancer diagnosis fail due to human errors, inaccurate diagnoses, and are time-consuming when demands are high.

Effect of Solvent on Third-Order Nonlinear Optical Behavior of Reactive Blue 19 Dye.

The present work focuses the study of effect of solvent on third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of reactive blue 19 dye dissolved in various polar solvents, namely ethanol, DMF and DMSO, respectively. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used to find the functional groups present in reactive blue 19 dye. Third-order NLO features of reactive blue 19 dye was examined by a low power continuous wave laser of 650 nm wavelength.

An Analysis of Biosynthesis Gene Clusters and Bioactivity of Marine Bacterial Symbionts.

Symbiotic marine bacteria have a pivotal role in drug discovery due to the synthesis of diverse biologically potential compounds. The marine bacterial phyla proteobacteria, actinobacteria and firmicutes are commonly associated with marine macro organisms and frequently reported as dominant bioactive compound producers. They can produce biologically active compounds that possess antimicrobial, antiviral, antitumor, antibiofilm and antifouling properties.

Physico-chemical studies on binary aqueous solutions of Anti-Viral Influenza drugs.

The ultrasonic velocity, density, viscosity and absorption have been measured for solution of Influenza Anti-Viral drugs (Amantadine and Oseltamivir) are presented at room temperature 303K. By taking measurements of Anti Influenza Viral drugs at 0.2, 0.

Enhanced Monarchy Butterfly Optimization Technique for effective breast cancer diagnosis.

Breast cancer is the biggest curse for the women society in the world since the survival factor of the infected patients is ensured only when it is detected at the early localized stage. The majority of the intelligent schemes proposed for detecting the breast cancer relies on the human skill that helps in trustworthy determination of essential pattern that confirms the existence of the infected cancer cells for deciding upon the course of treatment. Further, most of the research works contributed in the literature for detecting breast cancer necessitates huge time and laborinvolved that increases the time of diagnosis.

Protection of Penaeus monodon against white spot syndrome virus by inactivated vaccine with herbal immunostimulants.

To improve the immune response in tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon against WSSV infection, juveniles (350 ± 10 mg) were vaccinated with formalin-inactivated WSSV and fed with herbal immunostimulants. The methanolic extracts of herbal immunostimulants such as Acalypha indica, Cynodon dactylon, Picrorrhiza kurrooa, Withania somnifera and Zingiber officinalis were incorporated in formulated diets at different concentrations; 250 (ED(1)), 500 (ED(2)), 1000 (ED(3)) and 2000 (ED(4)) mg kg(-1) of feed and fed for 60 days after vaccination. After 30 and 60 days intervals of feeding, the shrimps were challenged with WSSV, which were isolated and propagated from the infected crustaceans.
