Atropa acuminata Royle ex Lindl.a member of the solanaceae family is a critically endangered medicinal herb indigenous to the Himalayan region of Kashmir and revered for its therapeutic and economic significance.Ethyl Methanesulfonate (EMS), a chemical mutagen, is commonly used to induce mutations for plant breeding and research purposes.In this st
Transcriptomic and proteomic mechanisms underlying cold tolerance in plants
Abiotic stress is one of the major challenges facing crop production globally.Abiotic stress resulting from low temperature is GF OAT BRAN a major limitation to crop production, especially in the temperate regions of the world.Cold stress not only influence crop development and reduce yields, but also curtail the efficient distribution of agricultu
Genetic alterations in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas
The genetic alterations observed in head and neck cancer are mainly due to oncogene activation (gain of function mutations) and tumor suppressor gene inactivation (loss of function mutations), leading to deregulation of cell proliferation and death.These genetic alterations include gene amplification and overexpression of oncogenes such as myc, erb
Rapid fine mapping of causative mutations from sets of unordered, contig-sized fragments of genome sequence
Abstract Background Traditional Map based Cloning approaches, used for the identification of desirable alleles, are extremely labour intensive and years can elapse between the mutagenesis Glass Bowls and the detection of the polymorphism.High throughput sequencing based Mapping-by-sequencing approach requires an ordered genome assembly and cannot b
Presence of the Jehol Biota turtle Ordosemys liaoxiensis in the Early Cretaceous Hengtongshan Formation of southern Jilin Province, China
Recently, a vertebrate assemblage of the Jehol Biota has been reported from the Early Cretaceous Hengtongshan Formation of Xingling Town, Meihekou City, Jilin Province, China.It is dominated by the fishes Lycoptera and Sinamia and the sinemydid turtle Ordosemys.Here, we describe the turtle specimens and referral to Ordosemys liaoxiensis, otherwise
