Functional Genomics of P450S Plant systems utilize a diverse array of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) in their biosynthetic and detoxicative pathways. Those P450s in biosynthetic pathways play critical roles in the synthesis of lignins, UV protectants, pigments, defense compounds, fatty acids, hormones, and signaling molecules. Those in catabolic pathways participate in the breakdown of endogenous…

Breeding Technologies to Increase Crop Production in a Changing World To feed the several billion people living on this planet, the production of high-quality food must increase with reduced inputs, but this accomplishment will be particularly challenging in the face of global environmental change. Plant breeders need to focus on traits with the greatest potential…

Neurobiology of Depression Current treatments for depression are inadequate for many individuals, and progress in understanding the neurobiology of depression is slow. Several promising hypotheses of depression and antidepressant action have been formulated recently. These hypotheses are based largely on dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and hippocampus and implicate corticotropin-releasing factor, glucocorticoids, brain-derived neurotrophic factor,…

Diodia sarmentosa (Sw) is a straggling or procumbent perennial herb that grows in evergreen forest, riverine vegetation, and bushland. It has been traditionally used to cure a variety of diseases, including ulcers and diabetes. The role of Diodia sarmentosa ethanolic leaf extract as a free radical scavenger and antioxidant in high fat diet-fed wistar rats…

In the carbon cycle in sediment waters, foraminifera species found in ocean waters play a significant function as pollution indicators as well as ecologically vital responsibilities. The goal of this study was to look into the diverse kinds of Foraminifera that were found along the littoral zone of the ocean waters at Chennai’s Besant Nagar…

Polymerases involved in microbial fructan (levan, inulin, and fructo-oligosaccharide) production are known as microbial fructosyltransferases (levansucrases). Levan could be used in the culinary, pharmaceutical, medical, cosmetics, and textile industries. Microbial fructosyltransferase proteins are classified into seven phylogenetically related clusters that share the catalytic domain of the glycoside hydrolases 68 family. The goal of the study…

In fisheries science, population dynamic resources are one of the most important components. Population dynamics describes the processes through which a population grows or shrinks over time as a result of births, deaths, immigration, and emigration. It’s the starting point for figuring out how population diversity is evolving, as well as issues like habitat destruction,…

The Mantodea (Insecta) (Burmeister, 1838) is a well-studied insect due to its numerous outstanding traits. The quantity of oothecas laid by a female Mantis religiosa (Linnaeus, 1758) has not been documented, to the author’s knowledge. A collected female Mantis religiosa was bred in the laboratory of Hacettepe University, Faculty of Biology, Department of Forensic Entomology,…
