Article
The Rab GTPases are important components of endocytic network in plant cells. Endocytosis participates in the cell’s reaction to extracellular stimuli by desensitizing, down-regulating or recycling receptors a...

Salt stress is an environmental factor that severely impairs plant growth and productivity. We have cloned a novel isoform of a vacuolar Na+/H+ antiporter from Pennisetum glaucum (PgNHX1) that contains 5 transmem...
Article
Vacuolar ATPases help in maintaining the pH of the vacuoles and thereby play a crucial role in the functioning of vacuolar sodium-proton antiporter. Though the various subunits that make V1 and V0 sector have bee...
Article
In this study we present an improved polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methodology to generate large amounts of high-quality complementary DNA (cDNA) from small amounts of initial total RNA. Global amplifi...

Plants have evolved highly sensitive sensory photoreceptor systems to regulate various aspects of their growth and development. Many responses such as seed germination, flowering and dormancy are controlled by...
Article
Immature inflorescences of Amaranthus paniculatus were used as explants for in vitro culture studies. When placed on a medium supplemented with 3–6 mg/l kinetin, explants developed into secondary inflorescences. ...

The presence of the enzyme glyoxalase was reported by Neuberg (1) and Dakin and Dudley in 1913 (2). Since then, it has been isolated from many animal systems and from yeast. However, except for one casual repo...
Article
The work reported here shows a specific effect of kinetin in enhancing LAT activity in pea buds and indicating its possible mode of action at the translational level. Other hormones tested did not show any app...
