Mycoplasma Like Organisms or Pleuro Pneumonia Like Organisms (PPLO)
Abstract: Mycoplasma like Organisms is the smallest of microorganisms causing plant disease. Viruses are acutely small (they can be seen only with the aid of an electron microscope), being composed of nothing more than a protein shell consisting a small amount of genetic material. Plant viruses commonly survive year-round in perennial weeds and trees or insect vectors, and are transmitted to other plants via feeding activities of certain insects, usually aphids, …

Studies on Extraction, Modelling and Purification of Quercetin from Peel of Allium cepa
Abstract: ABSTRACT Quercetin is an anti-oxidant, which very efficiently scavenges highly reactive biological species such as peroxynitrite and hydroxyl radical. Quercetin belongs to the flavonoid’s family. The present studies on optimization of physico-chemical parameters like effects of different solvents, different solvent percentages, particle size, pH and extraction time for the extraction of quercetin was studied. The highest quercetin concentration for optimized conditions was 38 µg/ml. In the soxhlet extraction process, the …

A Study on Establishment of Phytochemical Analysis of Ethanolic Extract of Silybum Marianum (L.) Gaertn. (Milk Thistle) Seed Extract
Abstract: The fluorescence characteristics of seed powdered extracts were determined under UV radiation of long and short wavelengths and ordinary visible light. When the small-grained drug and extracts were treated with totally different reagents and determined below ultraviolet illumination UV actinic radiation normal light, they emitted various color radiations. The colour modification for the seed powder and individual extract were distinctive and consistent revealing the solvent properties to the phytoconstituents and …

THE REGULATORY ROLE OF SMALL RNAS IN PLANT DEVELOPMENT AND DEFENCE MECHANISM
Abstract: Small RNAs (sRNAs) are 20 to 40 nucleotides in length and plants use these regulatory RNAs to direct gene expression. In eukaryotes they act as a sequence-specific guide in several processes like assembly of heterochromatin, DNA elimination, mRNA cleavage and translational repression. Classes of sRNAs are categorized based on their origin and biogenesis. Out of all these, miRNAs and ta-siRNAs, constitute two important classes of endogenous small RNAs, are the …
