Pectinolytic enzymes are produced by many organisms like bacteria, fungi, yeasts, insects, nematodes, protozoan and plants. Of that, microbial pectinases have more advantages as it involves in the phytopathologic process, plant–microbe Symbiosis and the decay of dead plant materials (Danielle, 2009) (33). In the industrial section, acidic pectinases…

Introduction Drosophila melanogaster can be considered model organisms for the study of genetics. Some characteristics that contribute to this status are their quick lifecycles, large amount of offspring, and the presence of only four chromosomes. Drosophila melanogaster contain bristles on the thorax, head, legs, and abdomen. These bristles are used as a sensory mechanism, allowing fruit flies to detect their surroundings as they fly and walk around their environment (Yehuda, 2011). The rate…

Biotic and abiotic stresses influence plant growth and yield. The narrow layer of soil surrounding roots where essential root metabolism and activities take place is known as rhizosphere. The biology and chemistry of the soil is determined by the root excretion in rhizosphere (~1 mm broad region, has no definite edge). Hiltner was the first person to use this term rhizosphere and expressed it as the distinct zone of soil where microbial population develops due to exudation of root (Hartmann et…

Animal testing is a hot button issue that has arisen in recent history. It has many uses in this day and age. These uses include testing for household products, cosmetic products, and medical research. Many species of animals are used in these tests ranging from mice and rabbits, to dogs, cats, and chimpanzees.Without a doubt, testing on animals does come with some benefits, such as the advance of medicine and science, and a way to test the safety of the products we use before they are released…

Peanut, (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an herbaceous annual plant of the family Fabaceae grown for its oil and edible nuts. Peanut plants are small, usually erect, thin stemmed with feather-like leaves. The leaves are arranged in alternate pairs with leaf-like attachments near the stalk. The peanut plant produces yellow, orange, cream or white flowers which produce 'pegs', characteristic floral structures which sink into the ground to grow the pod. The pods could be reaching up to 10 cm (4 in) in…

INTRODUCTION The momentous medical milestones achieved during the earliest era of the 20th century impressed many to believe that the global battle with infectious diseases was largely over, thus the focus to ascertain causes, treatments, prevention, and cures for chronic illnesses (Sattenspiel, 2000). This belief can be justified in Western Europe and the United States, but it was certainly not warranted for most parts of the globe. In contemporary history, the tropical regions have faced…

Inclusion Body Disease (IBD), sometimes called “Stargazing”, is a known pathogen that affects the nervous system, organs, and tissue of its host and in many cases, leads to death (PET MD, 2010). An inclusion body represents a wide spread of bacteria throughout a cell. (Dictionary, 2012) Microscopic changes are mainly seen in the kidney, liver or blood cells, these are known to be abnormal structures within the cells. IBD was first identified in the mid 1970’s, but curiously no known pathogens…

Identification and characterization of differentially expressed gene(s) in pigeonpea genotypes in response to Helicoverpa armigera infestation Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.)millspaugh] is an important food legume predominantly cultivated in the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and Africa almost exclusively as a rainfed crop. It is a diploid (2n = 22), often cross-pollinated crop with a genome size of 833.07 Mbp (Varshney et al., 2012). Globally, it is cultivated on an area of 4.92 M ha…
