A HPTLC method was developed with the combination of n- Hexane: Ethyl acetate: Methanol (9:1:1 v/v) as solvent system and TLC silica gel 60 F254plates as stationary phase under constant room temperature and relative humidity of 26.1 ± 0.4 0C and 76 ± 2 % respectively. Detection and quantification were performed by densitometry scanning at 540 nm after derivatization with Anisaldehide Sulfuric Acid Reagent (ASR). This method gave compact spots at RF 0.31 corresponding to Lupeol. As a result, the content of Lupeol in the leaf, stem and root were found 492.42 ng, 704.23 ng and 728.15 ng respectively as well as % amount (w/w) of Lupeol in the leaf, stem and root were found 0.09948, 0.14085 and 0.14568 respectively.<#LINE#>Dawane V., Pathak B. and Fulekar M.H.

Box 3900, Kigali-Rwanda<#LINE#>13/12/2016<#LINE#>2/1/2017<#LINE#>Understanding the cell functioning at molecular level is the goal of most of molecular biology researchers. Molecular biology involves macromolecules which are block of life, on research scene. Among others, proteins have a big range of functions and can only be clear if their structures are available. Assigning functions to all known sequences that are being generated in the public domain by different genomic projects, constitutes a big challenge. It is for that very reason the functions of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 from Spinycheek crayfish (Uniprot id: G3GHF6) were predicted using computational methods. Local sequence alignment was conducted to retrieve potential structural homologs having structures determined using experimental methods. Multiple sequence alignment has shown conserved motifs which could be of biological interest. Prediction of three-dimensional structure of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 through homology modeling followed by structure assessment and validation using ERRAT and PROCHECK, suggested the predicted model was of acceptable quality. Docking studies using HEX software demonstrated that this protein has affinity with heme ligand with eleven residues involved in these interactions. These interactions are similar to those observed when the heme ligand was docked onto the x-ray structure of the protein used as template for homology modeling exercise. This research shades lights on the function of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1from Spinycheek crayfish.<#LINE#>G. Pandey, V. Kumar, M.

Rotten samples were collected from five different markets of Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Jajpur, Puri, Balasore and Bhadrak. The fungal species such as; Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger were isolated from rotten bulbs of onion; Aspergillus niger, Penicillium sp. and Rhizopus oryzae were isolated from rotten samples of garlic. Of these, Aspergillus niger has highest percentage frequency of occurrence in onion while in garlic the frequency of Penicillium sp. was more. The percentage of their frequency is 50.3 % and 86.16 % respectively. The result of Pathogenicity test indicated that all the isolated fungi were pathogenic to their respective host and it was found that Aspergillus niger and Penicillium sp. were more pathogenic to onion and garlic respectively than that of other isolated fungi. They cause 69 % and 74 % of rotting of onion and garlic respectively. In order to reduce storage rot of onion and garlic bulbs, there is need to encourage the use of improved varieties, good storage facilities and adequate control measures.<#LINE#>FAO.

In addition, starch is raw materials in the food and materials industry. Increasing the starch content of crops based on improving the activity of some genes encoding enzymes plays an important role in the process of biosynthesis and accumulation of starch, which is one of the research are of interest. Like in bacteria, the process of starch biosynthesis in plants occurs by using ADP-Glc as raw materials to made long link chain &#945;-1.4-glucoside. ADP-Glcpyrophosphorylase (AGPase) has an important role in the biosynthesis of ADP-Glc molecule, and therefore AGPase is a critical enzyme of glycogen synthesis in bacteria and starch in plants. In this study, the gene encoding for AGPase enzyme (symbol Lan1_opt), size 1.5 kb originating from the glgC gene coding for the enzyme AGPase of E. coli has been optimised. This gene had G336 mutation replacing aspartic acid by glycin in order to decrease the affinity of the inhibitor. It has been combined with gene transfer plant vector and was transformed into tobacco plants, operated under the control of a 35S promoter. The integration of the Lan1_opt gene into plant genome was confirmed by PCR technique showing the expression of AGPase proteins in the genomic tobacco plants. Moreover, AGPase enzyme activity in leaves of this genomic tobacco plants was higher than 21%-43% compared with the AGPase enzyme activity in leaves of tobacco plants control. Our data provided the gene encoding AGPase (Lan1_opt) was an effective strategy to strength the process of starch biosynthesis in plants.<#LINE#>Thro A.M.

Aegle marmelos (L.) unripe fruit is considered as most natural medicinal fruit. In fruit plant the knowledge of elements are very important because it may influence the production of their bioactive constituents and their pharmacological action. Active constituents of plant are metabolic products of plant cells and a number of trace elements play an important role in metabolism. In present study characterization of Aegle marmelos (L.) unripe fruit powder was carried by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The Aegle marmelos (L.) unripe fruit powder showed various elements like C, O, N, K, Ca, Mg, S, Se and Pt. FTIR spectra showed various functional groups to elucidate its structure and composition. The FESEM technique with EDAX helps to characterize the biomaterial in Aegle marmelos (L.) at its elemental and morphological level. The present study concluded that, determination of functional groups by FTIR and characterization of elemental and morphological properties by FESEM techniques helps to identify the potential bioactive constituents of Aegle marmelos (L.) unripe fruit.<#LINE#>Muruganantham S., Anbalagan G., and Ramamurthy N.

There was considerable variation both regarding the amount and distribution of bands; C-banding of chromosome promises to be the most valuable technique for routine chromosome analysis due to its inherent simplicity, sensitivity and stability of the material obtained. HCl- Giemsa banding technique was used to study Heterochromatin (HC) banding pattern in genus Iphigenia. The genus Iphigenia is a monocot. The species studied here named as, I. pallida (Baker), I stellata (Blat), I. magnifica (A and R) and I. indica (Linn.) were characterized by 2n= 22 chromosome. The chromosome complement exhibited telomeric and centromeric HC. I. magnifica (A and R) and I. indica (Linn.) showed more banded chromosomes than I. pallida (Baker) and I. stellata (Blat). Telomeric bands were mostly present on short arm of the chromosomes.<#LINE#>Unakul W. and Hsut C.

Some of them are playing an important role as horticultural plant. Moreover, the population studies in the present investigation indicate that there is reduction of the pteridophytic flora. The anthropogenic factors have posed a serious threat, due to which there is complete disappearance od some species.
