FORENSIC INVESTIGATION OF A HUNTING INCIDENT OF INDIAN PORCUPINE (HYSTRIX INDICA) IN UTTARAKHAND: A STUDY TO HELP REIN IN BIODIVERSITY LOSS

Forensic investigation of a hunting incident of Indian porcupine (Hystrix indica) in Uttarakhand: A study to help rein in biodiversity loss

Across the world, hunting is one of the main causes of the decline in populations of wild vertebrates.This activity has serious effects not only on the specific, target populations but also on the dynamics and structures of other animal populations.Often the only evidence available for successful prosecution of poachers is in the form of small piec

A small knottin-like peptide negatively regulates in wheat to stripe rust resistance during early infection of wheat

Although Blufensins (Bln) have important functions in the response of plants to biotic stress the precise functioning of Bln in wheat remains largely unknown.Here we isolated a Bln gene (TaBln4) from Suwon 11 infected by Puccinia striiformis f.sp.tritici (Pst).Expression of TaBln4 increased in host plants at the early stage of infection with a viru

Assessment of genetic integrity, splenic phagocytosis and cell death potential of (Z)-4-((1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) amino)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid and its effect when combined with commercial chemotherapeutics

Abstract The increased incidence of cancer and its high treatment costs have encouraged the search for new compounds to be used in adjuvant therapies for this disease.This study discloses the synthesis of (Z)-4-((1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) amino)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid (IR-01) and evaluates not only the action of this co
