The formation of aluminum-silicon complex eventually prevents the penetration of Al into the root cortex of mostly crops. The plants that suffer from heavy metal toxicity may be from silicon application through the increased release of compounds that immobilize the heavy metal ions. ...
Secondary metabolites are produced by the plants and these include alkaloids, phenolics, flavonoids, etc. Unlike primary metabolites which are directly involved in plant growth, development, and reproduction, these secondary metabolites are considered to be defense tools for the plant. In the last decade, much research has been carried out on the antibacterial activity of these plant secondary metabolites. ...
The sleep is an active physiological process essential to preserve the physical and emotional well-being of the individual. People affected by diseases of the affective spectrum usually show significant variations in sleep patterns that negatively impact the evolutionary course of the disease. Adequate sleep control is important to preserve ...
Vaccines have a major impact on public health and life-expectancy. Reverse vaccinology is considered to be fundamental part for vaccine development. Reverse vaccinology includes comparative in silico analysis of genome sequences to predict the epitope(s) of pathogen. Further progression includes pan genome, comparative, structural and functional genomics. The process of reverse vaccinology ...
This paper begins by reviewing our crystallographic studies of planar intercalators complexed to a series of self-complementary DNA and RNA- like dinucleoside monophosphates done in earlier years. The results of these studies readily explain the observation of neighborexclusion -- that is -- why intercalation is limited to occur between everyother base-pair in DNA at high drug/DNA binding ratios. ...
Mimosa pudica L. commonly known as touch me not plant is semi erect sub shrub of tropical America, Australia and also found in India. The focus of the study was to evaluate the allelopathic activity of aqueous leaf extract of M. pudica against different germination parameters of Brassica juncea seeds. The experiment was carried out in petridishes with ten B. juncea seeds and were irrigated separately with different concentrations of plant extracts. ...
Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally. About 277 different types of cancer are present. It occurs due to un-controlled division of cells. In women and men, most commonly found cancers are breast and prostate cancer, respectively. While in children, blood cancer is common. UV-Radiations, carcinogens, smoking, Alcohal are the main factors that increase the risk of cancer attack. ...

Protein and peptides play an essential role in controlling the host microbiome. The microbiome is the collective genomic response of the microbiota to the host organism. The microbiota is the collection of microbes that dwell within the host body, that plays an important role in managing the host metabolism. Here, we discuss the role of polypeptides in controlling the microbiome ...
Mosquitoes transmit several diseases including chikungunya, lymphatic filariasis, Japanese encephalitis, malaria and dengue fever. There is growing concerns on the use of chemical based insecticides on the environment, and resistance developed by some mosquito species. Hence research into search for suitable alternative ...
Nepalese lentils are comparatively rich in iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) in South Asian countries, making lentil a potential crop of whole food solution to aid in the global battle against the micronutrient malnutrition. Knowledge of genetics underlying the uptake of grain Fe and Zn from soils is required to increase their ...
This study assessed the effects of seasons in the distribution of volatile organic compounds across Dump sites in some selected Niger Delta states, Nigeria. The volatile organic compounds were assessed at 3 distances (3.05 m, 7.62 m and 15.24 m) from four states in the two predominant seasons (wet and dry). Measurements were carried out using portable multiprobe AEROQUAL meter. ...
Hydrocarbon is among the environmental contaminants especially in the crude oil and natural gas producing areas. This study assessed the level of total hydrocarbon in surface water of Taylor creek, Niger Delta, Nigeria. Triplicate water samples were collected from 12 locations in Taylor creek along Polaku and Agbia in Yenagoa local government area of Bayelsa state between November 2013 to July 2014. The hydrocarbon was extracted using n-hexane ...
