Salivary proline-rich protein (PRP) polymorphism, PRH1, PRH2, Ps, Pm (PmF), PmS and Gl, were investigated in three ethnic groups in Singapore: Chinese, Malays and Indians. The phenotype and gene frequencies were presented and comparison with other ethnic groups was made. The As protein, which was
The role of ethylene (through application of ethephon) in the regulation of nickel (Ni) stress tolerance was investigated in this study. Ethephon at concentration of 200 µl lp>-1p> was applied to mustard (Brassica juncea) plants grown without and with 200 mg kgp>-1p> soil Ni to
OBJECTIVE
Glaucoma is a complex neurodegenerative disorder of the eye. Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) is the most common type, accounting for over half of the total cases. Recently, a significant difference in the distribution of the codon 72 polymorphism of the tumor suppressor gene p53 between
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a hazardous gaseous molecule, whose concentration in atmosphere is recently rising. CO also is an endogenous regulator of a variety of biological processes in animals and plants. However, whether CO regulates plant adaptation to Hg-contaminated environments is unknown. In
Anencephaly (APH) is characterized by the absence of brain tissues and cranium. During primary neurulation stage of the embryo, the rostral part of the neural pore fails to close, leading to APH. APH shows a heterogeneous etiology, ranging from environmental to genetic causes. The autosomal
There is evidence that susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy has a significant genetic component. This investigation tested the hypothesis that variations in the structural or regulatory regions of the MEP1B gene are related to susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy in the Pima Indian population.
The human butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity is less than 1% in the serum of silent variant individuals of Vysya community in India. They are homozygous for a point mutation at codon 307 (CTT → CCT) resulting in the substitution of leucine 307 by proline. The reason for the disappearance of the
OBJECTIVE
To determine the frequency of pathogenic mutations in the gene encoding RPE65 in patients from India with Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA).
METHODS
The coding sequence of all 14 exons and the adjacent flanking intron sequences of the RPE65 gene were directly sequenced in 60 unrelated
HPLC elution profile and MALDI TOF MS analysis of electro-stimulated skin secretion of the Indian Ranid frog Clinotarsus curtipes of the Western Ghats confirmed the presence of multiple peptides. Peptides eluted out of the C18 column at higher hydrophobic solvent region showed antibacterial activity
A pot experiment was performed as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications, to assess the effects of 1 mM spermidine (SPD) and 1 mM putrescine (PUT) on Indian mustard (Brassica Juncea L.) under different levels of watering (100, 75, 50 and 25% of field capacity).
Medicinally important ancient Navara rice (GI Kerala, India 2007) is a very short duration (60-70 days) variety with a yield of only 0.5 tonnes/hectare costing ~ Rs. 400/kg. It is used for indigenous treatment for chronic diseases by local and oral consumption. In this study, scutellum-derived calli
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a serious problem for rice crop productivity in acidic soils worldwide. The present work was conducted to look out for the alteration in ROS homeostasis; metabolic fingerprint; and morphology in two contrasting Indica rice cultivars of North East India (NE India) to Al
OBJECTIVE
Insulin resistance (IR) is associated with obesity, but can also develop in individuals with normal body weight. We employed comprehensive profiling methods to identify metabolic events associated with IR, while controlling for obesity.
METHODS
We selected 263 non-obese (BMI approximately
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most commonly occurring metabolic and endocrinological disorders affecting women of reproductive age. Metabolomics is an emerging field that holds promise in understanding disease pathophysiology. Recently, a few metabolomics based studies have been
Penaeidins are members of a special family of antimicrobial peptide existing in penaeid shrimp and play an important role in the immunological defense of shrimp. Here, we report a penaeidin sequence cloned from the Indian white shrimp Fenneropenaus indicus (Fein-Penaeidin). The Fein-Penaeidin open
