Chapter–I Introduction Shock waves appear in nature whenever the different elements in a fluid approach one another with a velocity larger than the local speed of sound. Shock waves are essentially non-linear waves that ...

TOOTH/MIR160A regulates leaf margin outgrowth in Arabidopsis thaliana Unlike animals, a striking aspect of the plant development is that they have evolved a flexible pattern of post embryonic development. This exposes ...

Among the various external signals perceived by yeast cells, nutrient availability is a condition to which these cells show a highly diverse biological response. Diploid cells in response to different nutritional stress ...

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 ...

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 ...

The glial cells of the brain and the peripheral nervous system retain the capacity to divide and proliferate throughout the lifespan of an individual and thereby have the propensity to give rise to the most adult neurological ...

Foodborne diseases are one among the diseases with high morbidity and mortality rate. The concern is raised with the emergence of pathogenic strains that are resistant to the available set of antibiotics. Conventional ...

The presence of introns in all the eukaryotic genomes identified so far underscores the fundamental and ubiquitous role of pre-mRNA splicing. The spliceosomal machinery, comprised of five small nuclear RNAs and several ...

Rinderpest virus is an enveloped Nonsegmented Negative Stranded RNA Virus (NNSV) belonging to the genus Morbillivirus in the Family Paramyxoviridae and the causative organism for “cattle plague”. The virion has a transport ...
