Enhancing Phosphate Uptake and Antifungal Activity in Tomato Plants via Bacillus licheniformis Mutagenesis: Evaluating Growth Parameters.

The objective of the investigation was to improve phosphate solubilization in tomato plants by Bacillus licheniformis, a rhizobacterium that promotes plant growth. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, Ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) and Ethidium bromide (EtBr) mutagenesis produced twenty-one mutants. Phosphate solubilization was higher in the PM7 (physical mutant) (121.

Influence of 24-Week Yoga Intervention on Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Inflammatory Markers in Type 2 Diabetes.

Background And Aims: Persistent hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, inflammation, and oxidative stress are important in cardiovascular risk in type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM). To evaluate the effect of 24-week yoga intervention on anthropometry and biochemical markers in DM patients, we performed a study.

Methods: A hospital-based prospective randomized study in 104 participants with DM divided into control ( = 52) and intervention ( = 52) groups was performed.

Healthcare worker-based opportunistic screening for familial hypercholesterolemia in a low-resource setting.

Background & Objective: Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FHeH) is important risk factor for premature coronary artery disease (CAD). Strategies for its diagnosis and prevalence have not been well studied in India. We performed healthcare worker-based opportunistic screening to assess feasibility for determining its prevalence.
