Validation of determinate () gene-based DNA marker in inter-specific hybrid sesame and analysis of the predicted dt protein structures.

Unlabelled: Determinacy is a desirable trait in sesame, an important oilseed crop. We have developed an inter-specific hybrid between basally branched indeterminate cultivated genotype and wild with no branching yet synchronous pods on the shoot. The hybrid and a few exotic sesame germplasms were successfully screened with a determinacy () gene-based DNA marker.

Identification and biochemical characterization of Asp t 36, a new fungal allergen from Aspergillus terreus.

Aspergillus terreus is an allergenic fungus, in addition to causing infections in both humans and plants. However, the allergens in this fungus are still unknown, limiting the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. We used a proteomic approach to search for allergens, identifying 16 allergens based on two-dimensional immunoblotting with A.

Transcriptomic dataset of cultivated (), wild (), and interspecific hybrid sesame in response to induced infection.

We report here the data of transcriptome sequencing of control and infected sesame genotypes. Sesame is an emerging oilseed crop [1]. The destructive soil-borne fungi Tassi (Goid) causes charcoal rot of sesame, leading to high (>50%) yield loss.

Identification, cloning, and immunological studies on a major eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) allergen Sola m 1: A new member of profilin allergen family.

Eggplant or brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) is widely consumed worldwide and thought to trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. So far, no molecular information is available on the allergy-eliciting components of eggplant.

Allergenicity assessment of fungal species using immunoclinical and proteomic techniques: a study on Fusarium lateritium.

Airborne fungal spores are extensively reported as the elicitors of respiratory allergies in human. is one such fungal species reported for eliciting significant skin prick results from India. The present study aims to analyze the allergenic potential of followed by the identification of allergens.

Allele specific CAPS marker development and characterization of chalcone synthase gene in Indian mulberry (Morus spp., family Moraceae).

Chalcone synthase (CHS) is an essential enzyme in the phenylpropanoid pathway that catalyzes the first step in flavonoid biosynthesis in plants under diverse environmental stress. We have used CHS as a candidate gene in mulberry and developed Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) based co-dominant Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequence (CAPS) marker associated with the CHS locus. The segregation pattern of the marker was studied in an F1 population derived from a hybridization program between two mulberry genotypes showing polymorphism for the CHS locus.

Purification, Cloning and Immuno-Biochemical Characterization of a Fungal Aspartic Protease Allergen Rhi o 1 from the Airborne Mold Rhizopus oryzae.

Background: Fungal allergy is considered as serious health problem worldwide and is increasing at an alarming rate in the industrialized areas. Rhizopus oyzae is a ubiquitously present airborne pathogenic mold and an important source of inhalant allergens for the atopic population of India. Here, we report the biochemical and immunological features of its 44 kDa sero-reactive aspartic protease allergen, which is given the official designation 'Rhi o 1'.

Identification of aero-allergens from Rhizopus oryzae: an immunoproteomic approach.

Airborne fungal spores bearing allergens are the causative agent for inducing immediate hypersensitive reaction in sensitive individuals. In this study the potential aeroallergens have been reported for the first time from Rhizopus oryzae a common airborne mold. Clinical data based on SPT was further confirmed by ELISA.
