Dynamics of heat-shock induced DNA damage and repair in senescent tobacco plants
Oxidative stress plays an important role in plant ageing and in response to different stresses. Oxidative DNA damage, unless repaired, may have detrimental consequences and increase genetic instability.

Life history of Monocystis parasites and genetic diversity of their hosts, the invasive Amynthas earthworms [PDF]
Monocystis is a parasites in the phylum Apicomplexa that infects nearly 100% of earthworms; however, the parasites have low survivorship, low production of transmissible gametocysts, and seemingly lack schizogony.

Plant regeneration in Curcuma species and assessment of genetic stability of regenerated plants
An efficient plant regeneration protocol was developed from rhizomes of two Curcuma species C. longa and C. amada. Response was highly dependent on the season, with above 69 % of culture developing adventitious shoots during spring. Greatest regeneration

Identification of quantitative trait loci controlling root and shoot traits associated with drought tolerance in a lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) recombinant inbred line population [PDF]
Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting lentil productivity in rainfed production systems. Specific rooting patterns can be associated with drought avoidance mechanisms that can be used in lentil breeding programs.

ELUCIDATION OF RANDOM AMPLIFIED POLYMORPHIC DNA MARKERS IN CROSSBRED CATTLE [PDF]
The PCR conditions for RAPD-PCRamplificat ion were standardized for the crossbred cattle of Kerala. Nineteen random oligonucleotide primers were selected based on intensity, clarity and polymorphism of bands from 26 primers for amplification of ...

Microwave treatment induced mutations and altered gene expression in Vigna aconitifolia
Primary leaf explants of aseptically grown seedlings of moth bean [Vigna aconitifolia (Jacq.) Marechal] immersed in water or not were treated in microwave oven (2450 MHz, 800 W cm-2) for 1, 3, 5 and 7 s before culturing.

Genotypic and Phenotypic Heterogeneity in Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris: A Contribution to Species Characterization. [PDF]
Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris is the main cause of most spoilage problems in fruit juices and acidic products. Since soil borne species often contaminate fruit juices and do not need strict extreme requirements for survival, it is a great concern to

Genetic diversity in white clover and its progenitors as revealed by DNA fingerprinting
The genetic diversity and ancestral relationships of a number of Trifolium species was revealed by using the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Both markers produced few species-specific

Surface mucous as a source of genomic DNA from Atlantic billfishes (Istiophoridae) and swordfish (Xiphiidae) [PDF]
Procedures for sampling genomic DNA from live billfishes involve manual restraint and tissue excision that can be difficult to carry out and may produce stresses that affect fish survival.
