CHAPTER-2 VARIABILITY AMONG THE ALTERNARIA BRASSICAE ISOLATES INTRODUCTION The chapter is mainly concerned with examining the variability among Alternaria brassicae isolates from the oilseed brassicas. Since, the oilseed brassicas are more prone to the fungal attack and thereby, resulting in reduced productivity of the oilseed. Therefore, the present investigation focuses on the studying the features such as morphological, pathological and molecular variability of Alternaria brassicae. The…

Biofuel from GM Macro algae Hydrocarbon biofuels are produced by genetically modified seaweed which are obtained by inserting genes from high hydrocarbon producing micro algae into high growth seaweed species. Botryococcus braunii (BB) a green micro algae that produces large amounts of aliphatic hydrocarbon molecules is used as a source for genetic material. The genes that produce hydrocarbon in BB are identified, removed, cloned and subsequently inserted into high growth brown seaweeds like…

3. Results Considering the morphological characteristics of the ecotypes, the cladode shape was elliptic or ovate, the number of spines varied among three classes (many, intermediate or few), the flowers had two types of petal color (scarlet or yellow), the fruit was elliptic or ovoid and the pulp color was white, pale yellow or orange (Table 2). The OFI populations studied showed statistically significant differences for DM of the fruits, F (17, 34.24) = 31.61, p < 0.05, which varied…

Past: The Golgi-Apparatus was first discovered by the Italian physician, after which it was named, Camillo Golgi in the year 1897 (but only reported the discovery in 1898), and it appeared in scientific literature for the first time in 1910, but its existence was only proved later in the year 1954 with the help of electron-microscopic studies. Camillo Golgi was able to identify this organelle by using a special staining technique, which he called ‘Black Reaction’, which made it possible to…

This is what forms traits such as hair or eye color; genes from parents are mixed, and depending on the dominant/recessive alleles, the offspring could inherit one of the parents traits. Genetic diversity is caused by the crossing over of chromosomes during Prophase I, the random assignment of chromosomes…

3.3 Results and Discussion 3.3.1 Agarose Particles By microscopy observation, both ABT and CSS were activated by the Mix&GoTM solution with significant colour change on the particle surface. Seen from Figure 3-1 and 3-2, a dark green layer was formed outside the particle after treating with Mix&GoTM. By visual observation, the agarose particles turned from colourless to green, which supported the microscopy observation. The activated particles were also sent for zeta potential measurement and…

In the article “Ethics and the New Genetics” written by The Dalai Lama, the author explains a religious symbol that is trying to send a message to the science community. A genetic technology that one day will change the definition of what it is to be human. Similarly, in “Human Dignity” written by Francis Fukuyama the author examines Factor X, the same number of factors that makes a human being human. Individuals should be political, the ethical esteem is embodied, the decisions made, and the…

When considering the argument of Bioethics, the ethical standards of determining if a scientific process is morally legitimate opens innocent minds across the world. Bioethics has been integrated throughout today’s society and quickly advanced into an embroiled storm that is sweeping nations across a broad spectrum. When examining the importance of these controversial issues, the development of new scientific advancements is incorporated into the field of Eugenics. Eugenics can be considered a…
