Growth and Nitrogen (N) Metabolizing Enzymes of Mesophilic and Psychrophilic Heterocystous Cyanobacteria—In Response to Temperature Regimes

By Shan Ahamed Tharifkhan, Deviram Garlapati, Darshana Arulraj, Uma Lakshmanan, Dharmar Prabaharan

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

By Meenakshi Uniyal, Manjeet Kumar, Rishipal Gangwar, Navin Chander Gahtyari

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 …

In vitro/In vivo Study of Anti-inflammatory Effect of Cyperus rotundus on Diabetic Complications

By Jayashree S., Chaithra C.

Abstract: The reactive oxygen species (ROS) develop oxidative stress that contributes to the cause of human diseases. Radicals which enhance inflammation are nitric oxide, hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide, and superoxide. Anion mediate and amplify the inflammation process, mediate vascular permeability and platelet aggregation leading to diabetic complications due to disruption of steady state of pro-oxidants and antioxidants. Cyperus rotundus plant extract was subjected to foraging radical activity with hemolysate sample to …
