Recent advances in geminivirus detection and future perspectives
...Apolymerase allows for a reliable diagnosis of geminiviruses and presumably all viruses with small single-stranded circular DNA genomes. The results show the efficiency of this technique in characterizing viral DNA components of several geminiviruses from experimental and natural host plant sources. Nucleotide sequence data offers identification of viral molecule to strain/species level for accurate diagnosis.

... The DNA based marker is reliable and reproducible for mutant selection for BBTV and BMV resistance banana plants used in the study. Explants from shoot apical meristem were cultured on MS-medium supplemented with different concentrations of 2, 4-D (2, 4 and 6 mg/l) 6-Benzylaminopurine (6, 7 and 8 mg/l), and Sodium Aide ranging from (1, 2 and 3 mg/l) for induction of mutation. In vitro screened plants after rooting were hardened and acclimatized in the glass h...

This study was aimed at exploring the climatic sensitivity of A. pindrow grown in ANP with sufficient sample strength. We assessed dendrochronological potential, climatic sensitivity by establishing climate-growth relationship and mean annual diameter-age relationship. Forty-four trees were sampled out of which o...

Adding to the woes, whatever meager plant cover is available that is also depleting rapidly. The depletion is being caused mainly by an absolute lack of grazing management by the flock owners and by the extraction of shrubs and bushes for fuel. Valuable grasses like Washta/Ha...
