Present study was carried out during 2019 at the Vegetable Research Farm, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana to generate information on diversity of invertebrates in okra. Study revealed that okra crop harboured by 27 invertebrate species belonging 11 orders and 26 families. Of these, maximum belonged order Hemiptera followed Coleoptera. Higher values Shannon-Wiener index (1.75, 1.84) Sim...

The importance of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels in cellular function is illustrated by the many distinct types of Ca(2+) currents found in vertebrate tissues, a variety that is generated in part by numerous genes encoding Ca(2+) channel subunits. The degree to which this genetic diversity is shared by invertebrates has only recently become apparent. Cloning of Ca(2+) channel subunits from vario...
