DNA Barcoding and Sequence Analysis of Annona reticulata Linn.
Abstract: AbstractDNA barcoding is the use of short DNA sequences (~650 bp) of the standard segment of genome for large scale species identification. The Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) plant-working group recommended 2-locus combination of rbcL and matK as the standard plant barcode. These two regions of chloroplast DNA were chosen due to efficient recovery of quality sequences and high levels of species discrimination. In this study, seven samples …

Myrmecophytes – A Wonder in Mutualistic World
Abstract: In nature, organisms have an inherent ability to interact with each other constructing the ultimate basis of simple to diversified relationships among themselves. Myrmecophytes emerge because of the complex association between plants and ants which coevolve over time. They develop specialized structures and mechanisms to interact with ants in a mutualistic manner. Ant’s dispersal of seeds via myrmecochory, extrafloral nectaries, food bodies, and domatia are among several tools that make …
