OVEREXPRESSION OF NICTABA-LIKE LECTIN GENES FROM GLYCINE MAX CONFERS TOLERANCE TOWARDS PSEUDOMONAS SYRINGAE INFECTION, APHID INFESTATION AND SALT STRESS IN TRANSGENIC ARABIDOPSIS PLANTS

Plants have evolved a sophisticated immune system that allows them to recognize invading pathogens by specialized receptors.Carbohydrate-binding proteins or lectins are part of this immune system and especially the lectins that reside in the nucleocytoplasmic compartment are known to be implicated in biotic read more and abiotic stress responses.Th

Blackgram (Vigna mungo L.Hepper) is an important tropical and sub-tropical short-duration legume that is rich in dietary protein and micronutrients.Producing high-yielding blackgram varieties is hampered by insufficient genetic variability, absence of suitable ideotypes, low harvest index and susceptibility to biotic-abiotic stresses.Seed yield, a

Precision medicine is gaining importance in this era of molecular imaging where the molecular features of a disease can be noninvasively assessed and treated with personalized medicine.This is especially suited for head and neck cancers (HNCa).Early stage HNCa are ideally managed with radiotherapy (RT) or surgery.Head and neck (HN) is a complex reg
