Utility of mitochondrial DNA in wildlife forensic science: reliable identification of confiscated materials from Eastern India

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The poachers adopted various cunning ways to modify the wildlife materials before commercialization. Thus, the confiscated wildlife materials is often a crime with no eyewitness and difficult for identification.

In-the-Field Authentication of Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cv: Albariño Using Chlorotype Discrimination and a Single SNP Interrogation by LAMP

Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research, 2023
Authentication of grapevine cultivars, Vitis vinifera L., is difficult, especially when analytical specimens lack diagnostic ampelographic characters, which prevents the verification of traceability systems aimed at guaranteeing varietal integrity.

Phylogeny and evolution of Müllerian mimicry in aposematic Dilophotes: evidence for advergence and size-constraints in evolution of mimetic sexual dimorphism

Scientific Reports, 2018
Multiple patterns and intraspecific polymorphism should not persist in mutualistic Müllerian systems due to purifying and frequency-dependent selection, but they are commonly identified in nature.

Species diversity and spatial distribution of CL/VL vectors: assessing bioclimatic effect on expression plasticity of genes possessing vaccine properties isolated from wild-collected sand flies in endemic areas of Iran

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background Leishmaniasis is one of the ten most important neglected tropical diseases worldwide. Understanding the distribution of vectors of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis (VL/CL) is one of the significant strategic frameworks to control ...

Phytopythium: molecular phylogeny and systematics [PDF]

Persoonia - Molecular Phylogeny and Evolution of Fungi, 2015
The genus Phytopythium (Peronosporales) has been described, but a complete circumscription has not yet been presented. In the present paper we provide molecular-based evidence that members of Pythium clade K as described by Lévesque & de Cock (2004) belong to Phytopythium.

Estimation of genetic diversity and population genetic structure in Gymnema sylvestre (Retz.) R. Br. ex Schult. populations using DAMD and ISSR markers

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Background Gymnema sylvestre (Retz.) R. Br. ex Schult. is a well-known medicinal plant against diabetes in India. There is as such no organized cultivation in India, and the plant is still being collected from the wild for their therapeutic uses.

Shallow epifaunal sea cucumber densities and their relationship with the benthic community in the Okinawa Islands [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Sea cucumbers are important ecological engineers in marine ecosystems. However, the fishery demand of some species, especially large-epifaunal and commercially used (LEC) sea cucumbers, has risen drastically, resulting in serious depletion of local ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of critically endangered Crocidura nicobarica (Soricidae: Eulipotyphla) from the Great Nicobar Island, India

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
The mitogenome (17,388 bp) of the Nicobar shrew, Crocidura nicobarica was determined in the present study. The mitogenome comprises 13 PCGs (11,427 bp), 22 tRNAs (1507 bp), two rRNAs (2538 bp), and a major non-coding control region (1932 bp). The Maximum

The first complete mitochondrial genome of the Indian Tent Turtle, Pangshura tentoria (Testudines: Geoemydidae): Characterization and comparative analysis

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The characterization of a complete mitogenome is widely used in genomics studies for systematics and evolutionary research. However, the sequences and structural motifs contained within the mitogenome of Testudines taxa have rarely been examined.
