Utilization of horticultural waste (Apple Pomace) for multiple carbohydrase production from Rhizopus delemar F2 under solid state fermentation
Publication date: Available online 27 December 2017 Source:Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Author(s): Shruti Pathania, Nivedita Sharma, Shweta Handa The brown rot fungus Rhizopus delemar F2 was shown to produce extracellular thermostable and multiple carbohydrase enzymes. The potential of Rhizopus delemar F2 in utilizing apple pomace under solid state fermentation (SSF) is the purpose of the study. Solid state fermentation (SSF) is a very effective technique opposed to submerged fermentation in various aspects. Enhanced production of multiple carbohydrases 18.20 U g−1 of cellulose, 158.30 U ...

Genetic variation of salt-stressed durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum Desf.) genotypes under field conditions and gynogenetic capacity
Publication date: Available online 1 December 2017 Source:Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Author(s): Olfa Ayed-Slama, Imen Bouhaouel, Zoubeir Chamekh, Youssef Trifa, Ali Sahli, Nadhira Ben Aissa, Hajer Slim-Amara Agriculture has new challenges against the climate change: the preservation of genetic resources and the rapid creation of new varieties better adapted to abiotic stress, specially salinity. In this context, the agronomic performance of 25 durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum Desf.) genotypes (nineteen landraces and six improved varieties), cultivated in two semi-arid regions in th...

Inter and intraspecific genetic diversity (RAPD) among three most frequent species of macrofungi (Ganoderma lucidum, Leucoagricus sp. and Lentinus sp.) of Tropical forest of Central India
Publication date: Available online 2 December 2017 Source:Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Author(s): Sandhya Dwivedi, Surendra Singh, U.K. Chauhan, Mahendra Kumar Tiwari In present study seven RAPD primers were used to access the diversity within and among twelve populations of three mushroom species Ganoderma lucidum, leucoagaricus sp. and Lentinus sp. Total of 111 bands were scored by 7 RAPD primers in 30 accessions of three mushroom species collected from different sampling sites of central India. Total 111 bands were generated using seven primers which were F-1, OPG-06, OPC-07, OPD-08, OPA-02, OP...

Detecting protein complexes based on a combination of topological and biological properties in protein-protein interaction network
Publication date: Available online 26 November 2017 Source:Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Author(s): Pooja Sharma, D.K. Bhattacharyya, J.K. Kalita Protein complexes are known to play a major role in controlling cellular activity in a living being. Identifying complexes from raw protein protein interactions (PPIs) is an important area of research. Earlier work has been limited mostly to yeast. Such protein complex identification methods, when applied to large human PPIs often give poor performance. We introduce a novel method called CSC to detect protein complexes. The method is evaluated in terms of ...

Evaluation of genetic diversity in wild populations of Peganum harmala L., a medicinal plant
Publication date: Available online 26 November 2017 Source:Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Author(s): Ranya EL-Bakatoushi, Dalia Gamil Aseel Ahmed Peganum harmala L. is a perennial herbaceous plant and can be a future drug due to its wide medicinal purposes. Despite its economic importance, the molecular genetics of P. harmal have not yet been studied in detail. Genetic diversity of 12 P. harmala genotypes were investigated by using Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR), PCR-RFLP of rDNA-ITS, PCR-SSCP of rDNA-ITS and Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers. The level of polymorphism revealed by ITS-SSCP is...
