Growth and Nitrogen (N) Metabolizing Enzymes of Mesophilic and Psychrophilic Heterocystous Cyanobacteria—In Response to Temperature Regimes
Abstract: The increased NR & NiR activity, GS and nitrogenase activities at 25°C and 35°C in psychrophilic and mesophilic organisms indicates that the Arctic isolate is a psychrotolerant as it shows increased enzyme levels than its original temperature in which we isolated the organism though biomass was greater at 3°C. The biomass and enzyme data indicates cyanobacteria are the initiators of primary colonization in polar and alpine environments and are responsible …

Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Hexaploid Wheat: An Abridgement of Physiological and Biochemical Aspects
Abstract: AbstractWith the increase of agricultural food production worldwide it has been observed that there is seven times increase in the use of nitrogen fertilizers over the past decades. Therefore, the challenge for the next decades will be to accommodate the needs of the mushrooming world population by enhancing productivity of food grains, with no ill effect on environment. Efficient nitrogen fertilization is crucial for economic wheat production and protection of …

Effect of NaCl Stress on Pigment and Biochemical Changes in Cyamopsistetragonoloba (L) Taub (var. Pusa Naubahar)
Abstract: AbstractIn this study, effect of salinity on biochemical parameters in Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L) Taub was studied. Plants were grown for 14 days in the controlled growth room. Pigments and biochemicals were extracted from leaves of control and NaCl-treated plants after seventh and 14th days of treatment. NaCl solutions at different osmotic potentials (0, 50, 100, and 150 mM) prepared by adding varying amounts of NaCl to the main culture solution …

Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles by Biological Method and its Application in Protection of Wood from Ganoderma Species
Abstract: The major advancement in the field of nanotechnology during the last decade have resulted in the wide spread application of nanomaterials in the field of science and technology. Nanoparticles were synthesised biologically, which is a pure green chemistry and completely toxic free compared to chemical synthesis. The property of the reductases present in the E. coli culture filtrate reduces silver nitrate to silver oxide and also serves as a capping …
