Secret of waking-up fresh and having a great day!
(CSIR- NISCAIR, 2014)After a long night's sleep, now that you are sitting on a chair with morning cuppa and the Science Reporter-both indeed neuro-stimulants, and hoping to have a great day, no matter had you woke-up fresh or not. Believe it ... -
Development and characterization of genomic microsatellite markers in Rhododendron arboreum
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2014)Population genetics characteristics are the fundamentals of conservation and management practices. Rhododendronarboreum, a key biodiversity component inhabiting Indian Himalayas, suffers from overexploitation and global ... -
Seaweeds: Ancestors of land plants with rich diversity
(Springer India, 2014)Seaweeds are taxonomically diverse group of marine plants from which the land plants diverged over fifty crore years ago. Traditionally having been classified based on plant color as green, brown and red, modern molecular ... -
Creatures of India: Guide to Animals in India with up-to-date systematics
(New Delhi Publishers, 2014)Indian Biodiversity, albeit being one of the richest in the world with three of the 32 �Biodiversity Hotspots�, is unfortunately in a serious sate of neglect from the administration and the general public alike. Four ... -
SSR marker based DNA fingerprinting and diversity assessment in superior tea germplasm cultivated in western Himalaya
(Indian National Academic Science, 2014)Twenty one microsatellites (genomic & genic) markers were used to evaluate genetic diversity and DNA fingerprinting of 15 popular tea accessions. Each accession had a unique marker profile, indicating that microsatellite ... -
Insilco Molecular Docking Study of Natural Compounds On Wild and Mutated Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor
(Springer, 2014)The role played by overexpression of tyrosine kinase epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), the transmembrane receptor central to numerous cellular processes comprising cell migration, adhesion, apoptosis, and cell ... -
DNA Barcoding of a new record of epi-endophytic green algaeUlvellaleptochaete(Ulvellaceae, Chlorophyta) in India
(Indian Academy of Science, 2014)Epi-endophytic green algae comprise one of the most diverse and phylogenetically primitive groups of green algae and are considered to be ubiquitous in the world's oceans; however, no reports of these algae exist from ... -
Strong endemism of bloom-forming tubular Ulva in Indian west coast, with description of Ulva paschima Sp Nov (Ulvales, Chlorophyta)
(PLOS One, 2014)Ulva intestinalis and Ulva compressa are two bloom-forming morphologically-cryptic species of green seaweeds widely accepted as cosmopolitan in distribution. Previous studies have shown that these are two distinct species ... -
Identification and cross-species amplification of microsatellite markers derived from expressed sequence data of rose species
(Springer India, 2015)Genic SSR markers derived from public expressed sequence tags (ESTs) data are valuable and cost effective marker resources for genome mapping and diversity studies. Owing to their derivation from the transcribed regions ... -
Screening of multi-targeted natural compounds for receptor tyrosine kinases inhibitors and biological evaluation on cancer cell lines, in silico and in vitro
(Humana Press Inc., 2015)Receptors for growth factors encompass within the superfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases and are known to regulate numerous biological processes including cellular growth, proliferation, metabolism, survival, cell ... -
Brown barcoded as red but reality is green! How epiphytic green algae confuse phycologists?
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2015)Promises and perils of DNA barcoding are now well-known, but no studies have revealed the extent of taxonomic misidentification of algal specimens available in primary DNA sequence repositories. Our original objective was ... -
Taxonomic reappraisal of Monostromataceae (Ulvophyceae: Chlorophyta) based on multi-locus phylogeny
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2015)Monostromataceae have been considered a morphologically discrete group of green algae having thalli made up of a single layer of cells; the family is ubiquitous in intertidal zones of marine and estuarine habitats across ... -
Screening and biological evaluation of myricetin as a multiple target inhibitor insulin, epidermal growth factor, and androgen receptor; In silico and in vitro
