The study was conducted in thirty-two healthy, normal adult albino rabbits (1.5-2.0 kg) equally divided into four groups. Each rabbit was fed 100 g of Hindustan Gold Mohr (HGM) rabbit feed daily for a month which was fully consumed. The rabbits had free access to food and water. Fasting blood samples were drawn at the end of fourth week to obtain control values of blood sugar (6). Thereafter, 1...

This study investigated the comprehensive characteristics of silver foil beads excavated from Tomb King Muryeong, based on composition analysis and glass morphological characterization. The major element components metal were using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). Trace elements determined LA-ICP-MS to constrain source raw materia...

Lateral root (LR) emergence represents a highly coordinated process in which the plant hormone auxin plays a central role. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been proposed to function as important signals during auxin-regulated LR formation; however, their mode of action is poorly understood. Here, we report that Arabidopsis roots exposed to ROS show increased LR numbers due to the activation o...

Man needed health as individual but power of reproduction to maintain his race. The early man used single plants to cure his complaints. Thus arose herbalism. To increase his reproductive power he preferred a mixture of drugs. Thus we find two patron gods in all important systems of medicine. There were two theories: like makes like and Blood=e Scu l, and Redness is its active principle. In Chi...

Plant cell suspension cultures have several advantages that make them suitable for the production of recombinant proteins. They can be cultivated under aseptic conditions using classical fermentation technology, they are easy to scale-up for manufacturing, and the regulatory requirements are similar to those established for well-characterized production systems based on microbial and mammalian ...

Sustainable food production system is the key to sustainable development especially for hill communities where agriculture is the mainstay of economy. History shows that human societies that can protect their livelihood-based natural resources are able to sustain themselves. So even today we find several indigenous communities obtaining sustained and adequate income/returns from their agricultu...

It is well known that the process of plant cell differentiation depends on the symplasmic isolation of cells. Before starting the differentiation programme, the individual cell or group of cells should restrict symplasmic communication with neighbouring cells. We tested the symplasmic communication between epidermal cells in the different root zones of parental barley plants Hordeum vulgare L.,...

The localization of cytokinins in corn root tips was investigated using antibodies or antibody fragments directed against dihydrozeatin riboside and labeled with rhodamine or colloidal gold. Roots were sectioned at -30 degrees to -40 degrees for immunofluorescence or freeze-substituted in ethanol or acetone and embedded in plastic for electron microscopy. Meristematic cells surrounding the quie...
