Hormones and Cuscuta Development Abscisic Acid And Its Conjugates-Endogenous Levels And Metabolism During Growth And Haustoria Formation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-25)Cuscuta or dodder is one of the best known higher plant parasite with around 158 species over 5 continents parasitising a wide variety of host plants (Yuncker,1932) Dodders are characterised by their interesting parasitic ... -
Host Gene Expression Profiling of Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infected cells : Identification of Novel Pro- and Anti-viral Genes
(2017-11-27)Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus is the causative agent of Japanese encephalitis (JE). The disease affects mostly children and around 30000– 50000 cases of JE and up to 15000 deaths are reported ... -
Host Location in Non-pollinating Fig Wasps of Ficus Racemosa : Age, Oviposition History and the Ovipositor
The fig–fig wasp system is a brood site pollination system where pollinators breed inside an enclosed globular inflorescence (syconium) that they pollinate. This pollination mutualism is subjected to exploitation by the ... -
Host responses in Fas-deficient autoimmune-prone lpr mice upon Salmonella Typhimurium infection
Autoimmune diseases can potentially pre-dispose an individual to infections. On the other hand, infections can trigger, exacerbate or ameliorate autoimmunity. Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS) is a rare genetic ... -
Host-Pathogen Interaction Between Staphylococcus Aureus And Murine Macrophages
(2013-09-04)Chapter 1: Introductionn Staphylococci are gram positive rotund bacteria that grow in clusters; and hence get their name. The genus of Staphylococcus comprises of over 30 species of which S. epidermidis and S.aureus are ... -
Host-Pathogen Interactions in Hepatitis C Virus Infection : Deciphering the Role of Host Proteins and MicroRNAs
(2018-07-19)Host-pathogen interactions in Hepatitis C Virus infection: Deciphering the role of host proteins and microRNAs Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a positive sense single stranded RNA virus belonging to the Hepacivirus genus of ... -
How Much Initiator tRNA Does Escherichia Coli Need?
(2017-11-27)The work discussed in this thesis deals with the significance of initiator tRNA gene copy number in Escherichia coli. A summary of the relevant literature discussing the process of protein synthesis, ... -
Human Immune Response To Japanese Encephalitis Virus Guides Development Of Vaccines With Long Lasting Immunity
(2013-05-21)Chapter 1: Role of JEV NS1 in protective immunity and in immunopathology. Previous studies from our laboratory revealed T cell immunodominance of non structural proteins NS3 and NS1 during natural JEV infections in humans ... -
Human Spermatogenesis : Differential Gene Expression And Regulation
(2010-08-24)Spermatogenesis is a complex process of male germ cell development in which the diploid spermatogonia undergo series of mitotic divisions and differentiation steps culminating into the preleptotene spermatocytes which then ... -
Identification and Biochemical Characterization of Novel Inhibitors of Nonhomologous End Joining: Implications in DNA Double-Strand Break Repair and Cancer Therapy
To summarize, in the present study, we have synthesized and characterized three novel NHEJ inhibitors targeting DNA Ligase IV, with several fold better efficacy compared to SCR7 and thus potential to be developed as cancer ... -
Identification and Characterisation of a miRNA releasing activity from Caenorhabditis elegans
MicroRNAs (miRNA) are endogenous, small non coding RNAs, which play a prominent role in eukaryotic gene regulation. Perturbations leading to an altered abundance of miRNAs can lead to pathological conditions like neurological ... -
Identification And Characterisation Of Two Silencing Barrier Sequences In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
(2010-07-21)In eukaryotic cells, genomic DNA exists as chromatin in association with histone octamers called nucleosomes, and various other chromatin proteins. Chromatin structure varies along the chromosome and this influences the ... -
Identification And Characterization Of A Virus Inducible Non Coding RNA (VINC)
(2010-12-29)Non-protein coding eukaryotic genome sequences often referred to as junk DNA are estimated to encode several non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) which may account for nearly 98% of all genomic output in humans. The output of such a ... -
Identification and Characterization of Molecular and Genetic Regulators of Cellular Senescence - Role of Free Radical Homeostasis
Aging is defined in an evolutionary biological context as a steady state decline in the specific fitness components of an organism due to internal physiological deterioration. The most profound and important contribution ... -
Identification Of Chloroquine Resistant Haplotypes Of Plasmodium Falciparum In India And Development Of New Antimalarial Combinations
(2008-10-03)Malaria afflicts 300-500 million people in the world and the mortality ranges from 1-2 million, children in Africa being the most susceptible. With a vaccine not being available against malaria and the front line drugs ... -
