Evaluation of amyloid beta (aβ)-induced Mitochondrial dysfunction: Neuroprotective role of Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (ape1) Via its interaction with cysteamine Dioxygenase (ado)
(Central University of Punjab, 2020)Oxidative stress and damage to mitochondrial DNA during the aging process can impair mitochondrial energy metabolism and ion homeostasis in neurons, ultimately leading to neurodegeneration. Themain pathway for repairing ... -
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 ... -

DNA barcoding and phylogeny based comparative evaluation of anti-cancer properties of Caulerpa (J V Lamouroux) spp. from Indian coasts
(Central University of Punjab, 2019)A total of 15 Caulerpa samples were collected from Indian coasts and identified based on morphological and molecular data inferred from ITS, 18S, tufA and rbcL. Seven different species viz. C. scalpelliformis, C. racemosa, ... -
Transcriptomic investigations of gene networks in response to arsenic accumulation in Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss
(Central University of Punjab, 2019)Arsenic (As), a widespread toxic metalloid is class I carcinogen known to cause adverse health effects in human. In the present study, As accumulation potential and differential gene expression in B. juncea is investigated. ... -
Selection constraints determine preference for A/U-ending codons in Taxus contorta
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2020)Unequal utilization of synonymous codons is a well-known phenomenon among living organisms. This phenomenon plays a major role in the enhancement of the accuracy and efficiency of translation. Gymnosperms are rarely paid ... -
Assessment of physico-chemical properties of pre and post-treated wastewater of Prayagraj region and its effect on nearby Ganges river
(Springer, 2020)Safe discharge of wastewater is still a difficult problem in every part of the world mainly in developing countries. The discharge of wastewater affects the physicochemical properties of receiving water streams and soil ... -
Adaptability of Rhododendrons in high altitude habitats
(Northeast Forestry University, 2020)Tree species dominate many ecosystems throughout the world and their response to climate, in light of global warming, is a matter of primary concern. This review describes past and ongoing research in Rhododendron, an ... -
Legume lectins: Potential use as a diagnostics and therapeutics against the cancer
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)Legume lectins are carbohydrate-binding protein and widely distributed in a variety of species of leguminous plants and have drawn increased attention toward cancer. Nowadays, the lectins have been studied for the screening ... -
Insights into the Molecular Mechanism of Arsenic Phytoremediation
(Springer New York LLC, 2019)Arsenic (As) is a widespread carcinogenic pollutant. Phytoremediation is the most suited technology for alleviating the As contamination of soil. In this review, we have discussed the uptake mechanism and the associated ... -
Comparative analysis of metabolites in contrasting chickpea cultivars
