We developed an algorithm, Lever, that systematically maps metazoan DNA regulatory motifs or motif combinations to sets of genes. Lever assesses whether the motifs are enriched in cis-regulatory modules (CRMs), predicted by our PhylCRM algorithm, in the noncoding sequences surrounding the genes. Lever analysis allows unbiased inference of functional annotations to regulatory motifs and candidat...

Embryogenesis in cotton is a difficult task due its genome dependency. We used 3 cotton cultivars (Khandwa-2, G. Cot. 10, and BC-68–2) and Coker-312 as control for regeneration. Efficient somatic embryogenesis was induced in agronomically important Indian cotton cultivars, Khandwa-2 and G. Cot. 10. For callusing in all the cultivars, different media combinations were tried. Embryogenesis was in...

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Samsun NN) leaves accumulate a cytoplasmic/nuclear lectin, called Nictaba, in response to methyl jasmonate. To check whether, and if so to what extent, the specific induction of this lectin applies to related species, a collection of 19 Nicotiana species--covering 12 Nicotiana sections and eight Nicotiana tabacum cultivars--was screened for their capability to s...

In this study, we evaluate the olfactory responses of Mahanarva spectabilis adults to aqueous extracts from following non-host plants for pest insect: garlic (Allium sativum L.), rue (Ruta graveolens cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum J. Presl), lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus Stapf.), clove (Syzygium aromaticum star anise (Illicium Hook.f), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus Labill.), tobacco (Nicotiana ...
