Comparative transcriptomics of Diuraphis noxia and Schizaphis graminum fed wheat plants containing different aphid-resistance genes.

The molecular bases of aphid virulence to aphid crop plant resistance genes are poorly understood. The Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia, (Kurdjumov), and the greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), are global pest of cereal crops. Each species damages barley, oat, rye and wheat, but S.

Techniques for improving formulations of bioinoculants.

Bioinoculants are eco-friendly microorganisms having a variety of products commonly utilized for improving the potential of soil and providing the nutrient requirements to the host plant. The usage of chemical fertilizers is not beneficial because it affects the soil microbial communities on large scale. The toxicity of chemical fertilizer decreases the fertility of soil and causes microbial disruption.

Histone Methyltransferase DOT1L is Involved in Larval Molting and Second Stage Nymphal Feeding in .

Epigenetic mechanisms have not been characterized in ticks despite their importance as vectors of human and animal diseases worldwide. Our investigation identifies and functionally characterizes the orthologue of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) binding methyltransferase enzyme, disruptor of telomeric silencing 1-like (DOT1L) in Ornithodoros moubata (OmDOT1L), a soft tick vector for the relapsing fever pathogen Borrelia duttonii and the African swine fever virus. The OmDOT1L tertiary structure was predicted and compared to the Homo sapiens DOT1L which had been co-crystalized with SGC0946, a DOT1L-specific inhibitor.

Advanced Approaches Based on Expression of Different Genes and Biomarkers for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Renal Disorders.

This review focuses on the causes and complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The kidneys are major organs boasting various natural functions, chief among them the stable equilibrium of body fluids by eliminating waste. If the symptoms of CKD can be detected early, effective care is possible.

Applications of carbon nanomaterials in the plant system: A perspective view on the pros and cons.

With the remarkable development in the field of nanotechnology, carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs) have been widely used for numerous applications in different areas of the plant system. The current understanding about the CNMs' accumulation, translocation, plant growth responses, and stress modulations in the plant system is far from complete. There have been relentless efforts by the researchers worldwide in order to acquire newer insights into the plant-CNMs interactions and the consequences.

Towards further Understanding the Structural Requirements of Combretastatin- like Chalcones as Inhibitors of Microtubule Polymerization.

Background: Microtubules are dynamic filamentous cytoskeletal structures which play several key roles in cell proliferation and trafficking. They are supposed to contribute in the development of important therapeutic targeting tumor cells. Chalcones are important group of natural compounds abundantly found in fruits & vegetables that are known to possess anticancer activity.
