The genetic pathway regulating auxin response in Arabidopsis is well established and provides us a framework to assess whether TNI belongs to this pathway. The total number of lateral roots is taken as a read-out of auxin ...

Protein synthesis is a fundamental process in gene expression. It involves four basic steps – initiation, elongation, termination, and ribosome recycling in bacteria. However, the step of initiation is the most regulated ...

Studies on meristem identity regulators in Rice (Oryza sativa), a model plant for cereal crops have revealed how meristem identity and transitions are controlled, bearing implications for crop yield improvement. We were ...

Tuberculosis continues to prevail as the major cause of mortality from any single pathogen around the world, despite implementation of control programs and the availability of effective drugs and the vaccine BCG. Mycobacterium ...

Japanese encephalitis virus is a member of Flaviviridae family. Flaviviridae family has four genera which comprises of Flavivirus, Pestivirus, Hepacivirus and Pegivirus. The global burden of disease caused by these viruses ...

The adult heart heavily relies on fatty acid for most of its energy supplies. The heart derives most of the fatty acid from circulation. Hence, fatty acid uptake forms a crucial step in cardiac metabolism. Studies have ...

Title: Investigating Partners of OsMADS1 Transcription Factor and functions for some associated factors for roles in rice inflorescence and floral development The classic ABCDE model for floral organ identity show that ...

Overall, the present study demonstrates the dynamic nature of rotavirus viroplasm and how it manipulates the intracellular environment by intracellular relocalization of host proteins and their sequestration in viroplasms ...

Bacteria use different means to survive in the continued presence of antibiotics. We find that upon prolonged exposure to antibiotics, mycobacteria put up a triphasic response comprised of a logarithmic reduction of the ...

Genome in prokaryotes is found in a small confinement called nucleoid. The nucleoid compaction is brought about by the combined action of topoisomerases and Nucleoid associated proteins (NAPs). Topoisomerases maintain ...
