Diversity of green and red macroalgee distributed in indian west-coast using morphometry and DNA barcoding
(Central University of Punjab, 2013)Modern algal systematists exploit genetic tools for molecular assisted alpha taxonomy and DNA barcoding is one such molecular tool that relies on the use of a standardized DNA region as a tag for rapid and accurate species ... -
Preconditiong chickpea for chilling stress: Understanding associated mechanisms and role of FADs in membrane protection
(Central University of Punjab, 2014)Chickpea has evolved as a spring crop in warmer climate of West Asia. Therefore, it is prone to chilling injury as in North India, chickpea is cultivated in winter season. Preconditioning the plants with mild drought stress ... -
Isolation and characterization of heavy metal resistant bacteria from soil
(Central University of Punjab, 2014)The exploitation of microbes to remove heavy metals from contaminated sites and industrial effluents is an extensive area of research. In this study, isolation of heavy metal resistant bacteria was done from potentially ... -
Sequence-based phygeography and conservation of seaweeds from indian subcontinents
(Central University of Punjab, 2014)Phylogeography is the study of historical events which are responsible for evolution and current distribution of a species in different geographical area. However very less record is available about marine macroalgae of ... -
DNA Barcoding and phylogography of brown seaweeds of coasts of indian subcontinent
(Central University of Punjab, 2013)Algae are one of the diverse groups of ubiquitous autotrophs. Their use as food was more or less initially confined to few East Asian and South American countries like China, Japan, Korea, Chile, Argentina and Brazil, but ... -
Preconditioning of chickpea seedlings for terminal heat stress: understanding associated mechanism and HSP's expression
(Central University of Punjab, 2014)Chickpea (Cicer arietinium L.) is the second most important pulse crop grown worldwide. Changes in the cropping system, competition from other cash crops (wheat) and global warming are pushing chickpea to relatively warmer ... -
Effect of amyloid beta (25-35) peptide on mitochondrial respiratiory function in neuroral cells over expressing ape1
(Central University of Punjab, 2014)Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an important public health problem which affects millions of people worldwide. The major pathological hallmarks associated with AD are the accumulation of amyloid beta (A?) in senile plaques and ... -
Development and charaterization of UGMS markers for genetic diversity analysis in Rhododendron arboreum
(Central University of Punjab, 2013)Rhododendron arboreum is an ecologically important species growing in Himalayan regions. It is widely popular due to its medicinal potential, edible, sacred & economic value, however very little is known about its genetic ... -
Oxidative stress and innate immune response in A549 lung carcinoma cells
(Central University of Punjab, 2014)Cancer immunology is the study of cross-talk between the immune response and cancer cells. The immune response, including the recognition of cancer-specific antigens is of particular interest as knowledge gained drives the ... -
Cytotoxic activity of saragassum wightii on pc-3 cancer cell-line
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)Finding novel antitumor compounds with low side effects could be an interesting proposal. Antioxidant and anticancer potentials of seaweed extracts can possibly be explored for developing the new anticancer drugs. Polyphenols ... -
Effect of natrium fluoride on growth and physiology of oryza sativa L.
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of natrium fluoride on growth and physiology of Oryza sativa L. Two varieties of the O. sativa (rice) viz. Basmati 1121 and PR147 were selected for the study. PR147 ... -
