No full textNot AvailableThe presence of microplastics (MPs) in marine ecosystems is widespread and extensive. They have even reached the deepest
parts of the ocean and polar regions. The number of articles on plastic pollution has increased in recent years, but few have
investigated the MPs from oceanic islands which are biodiversity hotspots. We investigated the possible microplastic contami nation their source and characteristics in surface waters of Kavaratti Island and in the gastrointestinal tract (GT) of skipjack
tuna, Katsuwonus pelamis collected from Kavaratti Island of the Lakshadweep archipelago. A total of 424 MP particles were
isolated from the surface water samples collected from of Kavaratti Island with an average abundance of 5±1nos./L. A total
of 117 MPs were recovered from the GT of skipjack tuna from 30 individual fshes. This points to a potential threat of MP
contamination in seafood around the world since this species has a high value in local and international markets. Fiber and
blue color were the most common microplastic morphotypes and colors encountered, respectively, both from surface water
and GT of fsh. Smaller MPs (0.01–1 mm) made up a greater portion of the recovered materials, and most of them were sec ondary MPs. Polyethylene and polypropylene were the most abundant polymers found in this study. The Pollution Load Index
(1.3±0.21) of the surface water and skipjack tuna (1±0.7) indicates a minor ecological risk for the coral islands, while the
Polymer Hazard Index highlights the ecological risk of polymers, even at low MP concentrations. This pioneer study sheds
preliminary light on the abundance, properties, and environmental risks of MPs to this highly biodiverse ecosystem.Not Availabl

No full textNot AvailableThe presented study is intended to propose a new tool with many quality and coverage profling algorithms for the raw NGS data. Currently, no standard tool exists to provide coverage details of the sequenced NGS data. This necessitates the development of new algorithms and software tools to facilitate functionality to users in computationally restricted environments as quickly and efectively as possible. As a solution to this, the article presents GSCIT, a GUI-based platform independent software with zero dependencies. The software is a one-stop solution for the major pre-processing stages, including adapter trimming, quality profling, and quality trimming, along with the functionalities of mapping and coverage metric calculation. GSCIT implements a novel Hash Table-based mapping algorithm that is designed to perform mapping operations with limited resources in a signifcantly shorter amount of time. To test the proposed software, 14 experiments were executed in two phases with the seven diferent genome datasets of a wide range of species. The frst phase took into account simulated sequence reads. In contrast, the second phase used sequenced real reads. From the experiments, it was found that the obtained results from simulated reads showed accurate results with an average error of 2.04% for breadth estimation and 0.14× for depth estimation. With the proposed algorithms, the software was able to deliver the coverage details in much less time than other existing algorithms that help estimate various coverage parameters and other details. In the future, the authors intend to incorporate Deep Learning-based searching techniques for coverage detection to speed up the process.Not Availabl

It was observed, that sprayand drench of Trichoderma asperelloides @ 2 mlL-1 along with drench of Ampelomyces quisqualis @ 5 mlL-1 and spray of Sulphur @ 2gL-1 of water manifested the lowest percent disease index on leaves and bunches with PDI 21.84 and 19.21 respectively. The percent disease control on leaves and bunches was 54.64 and 59.04 respectively. Moreover, the application of Trichoderma asperelloides and Ampelomyces quisqualis solo and in combination with sulfur showed a significant impact on qualitative parameters such as pH, total soluble solids, acidity, berry diameter, berry length and shelf life. Hence this treatment may be recommended for the management of powdery mildew of grapesNot Availabl

Ten demonstrations were conducted each year with three sorghum varieties NTJ-5 (TO1), NTJ-4 (TO2) and local Raichur variety (TO3). During three years of assessment, the pooled results revealed that the highest panicle length was observed in NTJ-5 variety (26.0 cm) followed by NTJ-4 (23.7cm) and local variety (21.8cm) varieties. Highest average test weight (3.6 gm) and seed yield (4425 kg/ha) also recorded in NTJ-5 variety when compared with NTJ-4 and local varieties. The percent increase in yield was 31.2% and 37.2% higher in NTJ-5 variety when compared with NTJ-4 and local varieties respectively. The average highest net income (Rs. 30508 /ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.78) was realized in NTJ-5.The lowest net income (Rs. 16840/ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.20) was recorded in local variety. Hence NTJ-5 (Nandyal Tella Jonna) variety is the high yielding improved variety when compared with other existing varieties.Not Availabl

No full textNot AvailableThe increasing demand for food production with limited resources is creating
a frightening situation to meet the hunger requirement of the world population.
A range of biotic and abiotic stresses significantly affect crop productivity thereby
widening the gap between demand and supply. Modern crop breeding involving
the techniques and strategies of molecular biology has always been considered
as one of the best approaches for creation of variability in the crop species to
enhance the yield potentials. Transgenic techniques like gene introgression can
supplement the conventional breeding methods for speedy development of
desirable crop genotypes. Despite availability of modern techniques of plant
improvement, identification and isolation of potential genes remains a major
bottleneck. Crop genetic resources including wild relatives and landraces, which
have survived all kinds of environmental challenges over centuries, can constitute
a major reservoir of these potential genes/QTLs for creation of variability and
enhance the yield potential of crops. Controlled inter-specific movement of genes
has the potential to accelerate the pace of crop evolution by overcoming the
limitations of conventional crossing like incompatibility issues and linkage drag.Not Availabl

partial protein sequence of novel strain of Rhodopseudomonas
faecalis was performed. The physio-chemical characteristics were
analysed using EMBOSS Pepstats, EMBOSS Pepinfo and ExPASy
ProtScale. Whereas the primary and secondary structures were
analysed by using Chou Fasman program, GOR program, Statistical
Analysis of Protein Sequences (SAPS), ProSA-web and
PROCHECK. The literature review suggests that the

No full textNot AvailableThe research focuses on assessing the efficacy of dried anchovy powder as a dietary
supplement, examining its bioavailability and impact on growth and nutritional status.
The study, centered on Wistar male rats, acknowledges anchovies for their rich
essential nutrients and potential health benefits. Employing a meticulously controlled
experimental design, the research exposes experimental animals to various dietary
interventions by integrating dried anchovy powder. This study investigates the
availability of vital nutrients like proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals
in the dried anchovy powder to Wistar male rats. The effects of dried anchovy powder
on growth parameters, encompassing body weight, length, organ development, and
the nutritional status of the rats, are explored. Examining hematological and biochemical
markers provide insights into the overall health of the experimental subjects.
Additionally, the research delves into potential mechanisms underlying the observed
effects, including nutrient absorption and metabolism. The outcomes of this study
offer valuable insights into the potential of dried anchovy powder as a nutritional
supplement and its role in enhancing the nutritional status of themalnourished people
of India. These findings may have a direct impact on dietary interventions aimed at
improving human nutrition and health.Not Availabl
