Abstract: Angiospermic plants have been observed to be adversely affected by certain plant parasites like Cuscuta spp. Consequent to their invasion into host plants, a variety of physiological, biochemical and molecular biological alterations occur, and therefore affect the quality as well as quantity of yield from angiospermic plants. The present article embodies an overview of angiosperm plants in reference to host- parasite interaction with Cuscuta spp, and collectively may provide new insights into developing biochemical as well as molecular biological strategies for expressing solutions for certain problems concerning with agricultural perturbation of crop yield.
Key Words: Angiosperm plants; Cuscuta spp; host- parasite interaction

Abstract: Enzymology studies are essential mediators to comprehend the complex reactions that occur in the domain of biology. Β-amylase EC (3.2.1.2) is employed popularly in the brewing industry and its new applications are ever so growing. β-amylase (an exoamylase) can employ starch, glycogen and oligosaccharides as substrate and hydrolyze their alpha-D-glucosidic linkages yielding maltose units as reaction output. Sources of. Β-amylase range from simple microorganisms to higher plants: Dragon fruit was screened for presence of Β-amylase and gave positive results for the same. Furthermore, optimum pH and optimum temperature were determined as 4.8 pH units and 37degree Celsius respectively through experimentation. Various literature site instances defining the role of costus extract as an inhibitor of amylases and these claims were put to test.

Abstract: Peach (Prunus persica L.), a member of the Rosaceae family, remains one of the most important fruit tree crops in temperate regions. The timing of flowering in peach is one of the most fundamental and complex developmental processes in the temperate areas. MADS-box family genes are essential transcription factors involved in plant development including growth terminal, bud formation, and endodormancy regulation in peach. Current understanding of the regulatory network(s) involved in dormancy induction is complicated. To understand the role of MADS-box genes orthologs in peach, we isolated and characterized nine transcription factors ″TFs‶including three DAM genes and six other ″TFs‶ involved in dormancy regulation. The expression profiles of these genes.......
