Genomic characterization of ZIP genes in pigeonpea () and their expression analysis among the genotypes with contrasting host response to pod borer.

Unlabelled: Zinc (Zn) is a vital micronutrient from the perspective of biofortification and biotic stress endurance in pigeonpea. The ZIP transporters with domain (Pfam: PF02535) regulate uptake and transport of metal ions, including Zn, in consonance with plant metal homeostasis. Genome-wide analysis in pigeonpea identified 19 non-redundant members of ZIP family () that were analyzed for gene structure, conserved motifs and homology besides other structural and biochemical parameters.

Cross-genera amplification of specific SSR markers in (L.) and their application in genetic diversity studies.

(L.) is a medicinal leguminous plant and is cultivated to cater the need of herbal industries and asthetic purposes. The unavailability of steady molecular marker impedes the genetic improvement of .

Hospital dependency: an existing concept.

Chronically institutionalized patients demonstrate a behavioral pattern characterized by unwillingness to get discharged from the hospital and severe anxiety during such attempts leading to continued hospitalization. These patients usually have poor self-concept and low evaluation in getting employment, which requires vocational rehabilitation. To prevent this, mental health professionals should make active efforts to develop a favorable attitude of the chronic mentally ill patients towards their home.
