Functional Characterization of RFL as a Regulator of Rice Plant Architecture
(2018-03-09)
Poaceae (or Gramineae) belong to the grass family and is one of the largest families among flowering plants on land. They include some of the most important cereal crops such as rice (Oryza sativa), barley (Hordeum vulgare), ...
Genetics of Glioma : Transcriptome and MiRNome Based Approches
(2018-03-26)
Glioma, the tumor of glial cells, is one of the common types of primary central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms. Astrocytoma is the most common of all gliomas and originates from astrocytic glial cells. Astrocytoma tumors ...
Topoisomerases from Mycobacteria : Insights into the Mechanism, Regulation and Global Modulatory Functions
(2018-03-09)
The eubacterial genome is maintained in a negatively supercoiled state which facilitates its compaction and storage in a small cellular space. Genome supercoiling can potentially influence various DNA transaction processes ...
Developmental Basis and Diversity of Polar Growth Patterns in Leaves
(2018-03-06)
Growth polarity in leaves – a final discussion
Insights into the growth processes of leaf lamina have come from studies on several species including Arabidopsis, Antirrhinum, tobacco and maize. A feature common to the ...
Insights into Occurrence and Divergence of Intrinsic Terminators and Studies on Rho-Dependent Termination in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2018-04-11)
Two mechanisms, intrinsic and factor-dependent, have evolved for accomplishing the termination of transcription in eubacteria. In this thesis, the first chapter is an introduction to the topic that presents what is known ...
DNA Repair Proteins in Mycobacteria and their Physiological Importance
(2018-03-09)
DNA repair proteins in mycobacteria and their physiological importance
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative organism of tuberculosis, resides in the host macrophages where it is subjected to a plethora of stresses ...
Proteomic Approaches to Study Glioma Development, Progression and Therapy
(2018-04-02)
Astrocytoma, the tumor of astrocytic origin, accounts for about 60 % of the primary
brain tumors. As per World Health Organization grading system, astrocytoma is classified as circumscribed astrocytoma (Grade I; pilocytic ...
Role of DNA Methylation in Glioblastoma Development
(2018-04-11)
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and malignant of the glial tumors. These tumors may develop from lower-grade astrocytomas (diffuse astrocytoma; grade II or anaplastic astrocytoma; grade III) through a progressive ...
Causes and Consequences of Hetrospecific Foraging Associations in Terrestrial Bird Communities
(2018-04-12)
The question of group-living in animals has attracted a lot of research attention. Today, we have a nuanced understanding of ultimate explanations and proximate mechanisms for group-living, as well as the genetic basis for ...
Species Ranges, Richness and Replacement of Trees in the Evergreen Forests of the Western Ghats
(2018-05-14)
It has been more than two centuries since the latitudinal pattern of increase in taxonomic richness from poles to equator was first documented. After two centuries of research, and with more than two dozen hypotheses ...
