Monostroma: the Jeweled Seaweed for Future Cultivation methods, Ecophysiology, Phylogeography and Molecular Systematics
(Lambert Academic Publishing, 2011)This thesis aims at providing a comprehensive picture of the reproductive physiology, growth, phylogeography, and phylogenetics of M. latissimum-nitidum complex in Southern Japan. A review on agronomy and utilization of ... -
Temperature-stratified screening of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genetic resource collections reveals very limited reproductive chilling tolerance compared to its annual wild relatives
(2012)Low reproductive chilling tolerance in chickpea impairs ovule fertilization, delaying pod set, exposing the crop to terminal drought throughout much of its distribution range. Despite this realization, little progress has ... -
Systematics and Taxonomic Keys for the Marine Green Algal Family Monostromataceae
(Nova Science Publishers, 2012)Marine green algal family Monostromataceae consists of single cell-layered green seaweeds distributed throughout the world, yet identification of it being one of the most challenging. Monostromatic green seaweeds are all ... -
Cancer phylogenetics: Computational modeling of tumor evolution
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2012)The field of phylogenetics is one of the core areas of Bioinformatics which deals with computational methods to infer evolutionary heritage of organisms and genes. While phylogenetics has been extensively utilized in ... -
Chromosomal location of non-hypersensitive leaf rust resistance genes in bread wheat cultivar PBW65 using microsatellite markers
(2012)Microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSRs) markers have been powerful tool for genetic mapping in wheat. Indian bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar PBW65 has shown significant level of resistance to most ... -
Sequence-based Phylogeography of Seaweeds: How Current Distribution is Shaped by Accumulation of Past?
(Graduate School of Kuroshio Science, Kochi University, 2013)State-of-the-art techniques of phylogeography are now routinely used to assess changes at DNA level accumulated over time, and thereby to study forces that might have influenced distribution patterns of organisms. Presented ... -
Agronomy and cultivation methods for edible seaweeds
(Research India Publications, 2013)Seaweeds, by all means, are “future plants”; they have been projected as the future viand for ever-increasing human populations, viable and sustainable source for biofuel without disturbing global food scenario, as potential ... -
Sequence Similarity Search, Multiple Sequence Alignment, Model Selection, Distance Matrix and Phylogeny Reconstruction
(Nature, 2013)This is a generic sequence analysis protocol suitable for plant and algal phylogeographic studies. Generated sequences from bidirectional Sanger sequencers are first assembled using Geneious. Sequence assembly is then ... -
Synthesis of imine-pyrazolopyrimidinones and their mechanistic interventions on anticancer activity
(2013)Design, synthesis and anticancer activity of a series of imine-pyrazolopyrimidinones is reported for the first time. Compounds 9d, 9n and 9o in the series show encouraging in vitro anticancer activity with low micromolar ... -
In silico molecular docking study of natural compounds on wild and mutated epidermal growth factor receptor
(Birkhauser Boston, 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 ... -
Insulin receptor (IR) and insulin-like growth factor receptor 1 (IGF-1R) signaling systems: Novel treatment strategies for cancer
(Humana Press Inc., 2014)Insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling system, commonly known for fine-tuning numerous biological processes, has lately made its mark as a much sought-after therapeutic targets for diabetes and cancer. These ... -
Morphological and molecular assessment of native carrageenophyte Hypnea valentiae (Cystocloniaceae, Gigartinales) in Indian Subcontinent
(Phycological Society, 2014)Hypnea valentiae is an important red alga commercially cultivated in various parts of the world for the production of carrageenan. Presented in this report is findings of morphological and molecular observations of ... -
Strong endemism of bloom-forming tubular ulva in Indian west coast, with description of Ulva paschima sp. nov. (Ulvales, chlorophyta)
(Public Library of Science, 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 ... -
Multitargeted molecular docking study of plant-derived natural products on phosphoinositide-3 kinase pathway components
(Springer, 2014)Phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway comprises of a cornucopia of protein molecules capable of regulating numerous cellular events, including cell survival, cell cycle regulation, angiogenesis, and apoptosis. ... -
DNA barcoding of a new record of epi-endophytic green algae Ulvella leptochaete (Ulvellaceae, Chlorophyta) in India
(Springer India, 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 ... -
Seaweeds Ancestors of Land Plants with Rich Diversity
(Indian Academy of Science, 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 ... -
Chloroplast DNA phylogeography of holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum) in Indian subcontinent
(2014)Ocimum tenuiflorum L., holy basil "Tulsi", is an important medicinal plant that is being grown and traditionally revered throughout Indian Subcontinent for thousands of years; however, DNA sequence-based genetic diversity ... -
An illustrated review on cultivation and life history of agronomically important seaplants
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2014)Seaplants (a better alternative to the misnomer "Seaweeds"), by all means, are "future plants"; they have been projected as the future viand for ever-increasing human populations, viable and sustainable source for biofuel ...
