DNA Barcoding
Abstract: DNA barcoding system is a promising approach towards the diagnosis of biological diversity using DNA sequences as a primary key for retrieval of genetic information. It is emerging as a standardised method for mapping various species on the earth. DNA barcoding is a tool for identification of new species, conservation of endangered species and clustering of various species under a particular group. Many databases have been developed across the globe …

Elucidating the Role of Temperature in Reproductivity of Plants
Abstract: Analysis on plant counter to temperature stress accumulates interest because of the expanded mindfulness with respect to an unnatural weather change. High and low temperature stresses help in setting up the slight natural division of refined plants, the restricted geographic expansion of some other financially healthfully significant species, and furthermore produce lopsided connection for certain species. All things considered, the view of plant reprisal to temperature stress falls behind other …
