In this study, desiccation characteristics of natural fibre-reinforced soil were investigated. The soil was mixed with sisal fibres (25 mm) at the fibre content of 0.5% and 1%. The effects of soil thickness on the desiccation characteristics were investigated using specimens with thickness of 6, 12 and 24 mm. Digital image analysis was used to stud...

Cell Stress and Chaperones
Stressors of different kinds adversely affect life history parameters like growth, development, and reproduction. Organisms overcome the negative impact of environmental stressors and strive to reach a tolerant state through genetic and metabolic activities. Ayurvedic formulations are reported to have life trait benefitting properties which improve...

BACKGROUND: Neuropeptides are regulators of critical life processes in insects and, due to their high specificity, represent potential targets in the development of greener insecticidal agents. Fundamental to this drive is understanding neuroendocrine pathways that control key physiological processes in pest insects and the screening of potential a...

The present investigation was carried out to establish a simple and efficient in vitro method for rapid propagation of Daucus carota L for different applications. Root, stem, leaf and seed explants were tested to induce callus on Gamborg medium supplemented with 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) for cell suspension culture establishment. The l...

The remarkable drought-resistance of the terrestrial cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme (N. flagelliforme) has attracted attention for many years. In this study, we purified a group of red proteins that accumulate in dried field samples of N. flagelliforme. These red proteins contain canthaxanthin as the bound chromophore. Native-PAGE analysis rev...

Under natural conditions yeast cells as well as other microorganisms are regularly subjected to the influence of severe drought, which leads to their serious dehydration. The dry seasons are then changed by rains and there is a restoration of normal water potential inside the cells. To survive such seasonal changes a lot of vegetative microbial cel...
