Abstract: Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a tropical and subtropical crop widely cultivated for edible fruits. It is member of the small family Caricaceae .Papaya is one of the few rapidly growing and heavily yielding fruit trees. In the peninsular region it bears fruits throughout the year, while under north Indian conditions it is in fruiting for about four month beginning from January. Papaya trees are affected by some fungi from seedling to fruit, that reduces the viability of plant and fruit numbers and quality. Except fungal diseases viral diseases also affect from foliar to fruiting stages (Leaf curl and ring spot diseases). Trees affected do not die immediately but their fruit bearing capacity is diminished. Plants infected by PRSV develop a range of symptoms including ringed spots on the fruit, for which the virus is named. Other symptoms in include mosaic coloration and chlorosis of the leaves.

Abstract: Neutrophils are major source of inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines which play an important role in obesity related cardio-metabolic complications. Little is known about neutrophil activation markers in childhood obesity. Therefore, we investigated the hypothesis that, the component of the innate immune system is activated in childhood obesity through assessment of the expression of CD66b as a specific marker of neutrophil activation and plasma MPO which is a product of activated neutrophil............

Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major worldwide health problem and is the leading killer of youth and adults in developing countries, being responsible for more deaths than any other single infectious organism [1]. 5–15% of the people infected with M. tuberculosis (estimated 2–3 billion) will develop TB disease during their lifetime [1]. Bacillus Calmette–Guerin (BCG), an attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis is the only vaccine currently available against TB. This is the world's most widely used vaccine and being directed against the world's leading cause of infectious disease mortality, BCG is the most controversial vaccine in current use [2]. The efficacy of BCG vaccine in the prevention of tuberculosis has shown considerable variation in different populations and trials [3].............

Abstract: The principal role of food in a body is to supply required nutrients which provides energy to sustain for physiological functions and well being. All food types are functional, consumption of such functional food provides bioactive molecules. Probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics are important bioactive components of functional food which have significant role on well being of human and animal. These bioactive components provides one of the possible approach for improving the health image and developing functional products. Discovery of new prebiotic / probiotic /synbiotic functional foods leads to the food industry to renew constantly by introduction of food items with enhanced nutritional value and also with health advantage for consumers. This review provides information regarding health benefits of synbiotic food compounds as they provide bioactive components for health.

Abstract: Cheilanthes albomarginata (CA) is a fern belongs to Pteridaceae family and is found mainly in hills of India, Pakistan and Nepal at an altitudes 1300-2700m. It grows in rock crevices and has been recognized as a desiccation tolerant (DT) plant. It has the ability to survive under complete desiccation and resurrect under minimal water conditions. An extensive field survey was conducted in Devarayanadurga State Forest, Tumakuru district which led to collection and positive identification of CA. And studied desiccation tolerance in the CA..............

Abstract: MiRNA is small, single-stranded RNA. It is found in viruses as well as in animals. It's functions are almost like siRNA. this miRNA's bind to 3'UTR and than the start to multiply in nucleus and mature in the cytoplasm. Measles virus (MeV) is a single-stranded, negative-sense, enveloped (non-segmented) RNA virus of the genus morbillivirus within the family Paramyoxviridae. We have worked on miRNA of measles viruses using bioinformatics tools like Vmir analyzer, Vmir viewer, etc. and have found 5 such miRNA. Our main purpose of working on this topic is to find out permanent cure for these disease. Not only that but be are even planning to work upon many more such diseases and find out the Pre-miRNAs present within them.

Abstract: Imidacloprid has gained great attention as a synthetic insecticide that acts in a similar manner as nicotine and is now widely used for the control of pests. Bacteria react to environmental or chemical stress by synthesizing specific sets of proteins and these can be analyzed by protein profiling using SDS PAGE. The present investigation was undertaken to reveal protein profile changes and differentially expressed proteins in soil isolate Escherichia coli on dose and durational exposure to imidacloprid. Protein profiling of Escherichia coli treated with different (10-7 to 10-3 M)..............

Abstract: The article presents the results of a two-year comparative study of the biochemical composition of fruit of six Oxycoccus macrocarpus cultivars newly introduced in Belarus — 'Stevens', 'Bain Favorit', 'Hiliston', 'Holistar Red', 'Stankovich', and 'WSU 108' — based upon 14 indicators in seasons that are contrasted in terms of the moisture regime. It is established that the favorable combination of weather conditions in 2016 contributed to the increasingly active accumulation of free organic, ascorbic and hydroxycinnamic acids, soluble sugars, true anthocyanins, catechins, and flavonols in..............

Abstract: Imidacloprid, , is a neonicotinoid, a class of neuro-active insecticides modeled after nicotine. The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the effect of imidacloprid treatment on growth and phosphatase activity in soil isolate Bacillus weihenstephanensis (SP-03). The soil isolate was isolated after enrichment cultures, as imidacloprid tolerant bacteria. Cells of Bacillus weihenstephanensis were exposed to imidacloprid of concentrations ranging from 10-7 to 10-3 M for a period of 96 hrs. Treatment with higher dose (10-4 and 10-3 M) of imidacloprid caused no significant increase in the phosphatase activity, whereas, significant increase was observed in the lower dose.............

Abstract: In this study the wastewaters from textile dyeing industries and tapioca starch (SAGO) were combined for the treatment using two-phase Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor. The system was inoculated with seed sludge from the anaerobic digester treating sago wastewater. The processes were carried out by feeding the combined wastewater at different mixing proportion with COD ranging from 5200 to 6320 mgL-1. The maximum COD conversion was about 53.1 % in acidogenic reactor and 88.5 % in methanogenic reactor. The kinetic values obtained for Haldane's model a, b and c is 0.034, 19 and 8031, for modified Stover–Kincannon model is Rmax=3.48 gL-1d-1 and KB=..............

Abstract: Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is one of the most importan tree crops in the deserts which is a tree high economic and commercial values. This study was performed to micro propagate of date palm cv. Ghazal via somatic embryogenesis. Although, it was conducted to examine different concentration of silver nitrate (SN) and silver thiosulfate (STS) for their effect on somatic embryogenesis development of date palm. In this context, the obtained results indicated that..........
