Development of leaffolder resistant transgenic rice expressing cry2AX1 gene driven by green tissue-specific rbcS promoter
The insecticidal cry genes of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have been successfully used for development of insect resistant transgenic rice plants. In this study, a novel cry2AX1 gene consisting a sequence of cry2A...

Expression and inheritance of chimeric cry2AX1 gene in transgenic cotton plants generated through somatic embryogenesis
Transgenic cotton plants expressing a novel cry2AX1 gene consisting of sequences from the cry2Aa and cry2Ac genes, driven by the CaMV35S or the EnCaMV35S promoters, were generated through Agrobacterium-mediated t...

Open AccessTransmembrane helix prediction using amino acid property features and latent semantic analysis
Prediction of transmembrane (TM) helices by statistical methods suffers from lack of sufficient training data. Current best methods use hundreds or even thousands of free parameters in their models which are t...

Cytoview: Development of a cell modelling framework
The biological cell, a natural self-contained unit of prime biological importance, is an enormously complex machine that can be understood at many levels. A higher-level perspective of the entire cell requires...

Verification and Rapid Identification of Soybean Rhizobia in Indian Soils
Sixty root nodule isolates of soybean rhizobia indigenous to eight field sites in India were characterized using PCR-RFLP for repeated sequence RSα a 1195-bp DNA fragment, indole acetic acid production, and ni...
