Comparative Transcriptome Profiling Under Cadmium Stress Reveals the Uptake and Tolerance Mechanism in Brassica juncea
(Springer, 2019)
Cadmium (Cd) is a biologically non-essential and phytotoxic heavy metal pollutant. In this study, we estimated the Cd accumulation potential of Indian mustard and identified factors responsible for Cd uptake, tolerance, ...
Gene and metabolite profiling reveals flowering and survival strategies in Himalayan Rhododendron arboreum
(Elsevier, 2019)
Rhododendron arboreum inhabits the Himalayan climate otherwise detrimental to many species, though the underlying survival mechanism remains unclear. Such temperate species have an inherent endurance towards freezing ...
An overview of designing and selection of sgRNAs for precise genome editing by the CRISPR-Cas9 system in plants
(Springer, 2019)
A large number of computational tools have been documented in recent years for identification of target-specific valid single-guide (sg) RNAs (18–20 nucleotide long sequence) that is an important component for the efficient ...
Marine macroalga Caulerpa: role of its metabolites in modulating cancer signaling
(Springer, 2019)
Cancer, the leading causes of death worldwide, causes multiple metabolic and physiological alterations, leading to an unregulated proliferation of cells. The existing anticancer therapies are usually nonspecific with side ...
The CRISPR–Cas9, genome editing approach: a promising tool for drafting defense strategy against begomoviruses including cotton leaf curl viruses
(Springer, 2019)
The CRISPR–Cas9 is emerging genome editing tool and very easy and straightforward in operation that has been tested and explored for introduction of new traits in plant systems. Recently, a number of reports have documented ...
Micropropagation protocol for Salvadora oleoides
(Northeast Forestry University, 2019)
Salvadora oleoides Decne. is a pharmaceutically important plant. Owing to poor seed formation, viability and, germination, and to anthropogenic disturbances, this species is on the verge of extinction. A reproducible ...
Natural products as multidrug resistance modulators in cancer
(Elsevier, 2019)
Cancer is a prominent cause of death globally. Currently, many drugs that are in clinical practice are having a high prevalence of side effect and multidrug resistance. Risk of tumors acquiring resistance to chemotherapy ...
Molecular basis of transitivity in plant RNA silencing
(Springer, 2019)
The discovery of small RNAs has offered exciting opportunities in manipulating gene expression. The non-coding RNAs cause target gene inactivation at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional or translational level. In ...
Pseudomonas citronellolis; a multi-metal resistant and potential plant growth promoter against arsenic (V) stress in chickpea
(Elsevier, 2019)
Soil micro-biota plays a vital role in maintaining plant growth and fitness under normal and adverse conditions. Pseudomonas is one of the most important free-living and copious genera in south-west Punjab and involved in ...
Studies on adaptive environmental responses in Himalayan Rhododendron arboreum
(Central University of Punjab, 2019)
Temperate plants acclimatize to survive freezing temperatures, which are otherwise prerequisite in the initiation/transition of a developmental phase. The dominance of Rhododendron arboreum under a highly fluctuating ...
