Unravelling efficient applications of agriculturally important microorganisms for alleviation of induced inter-cellular oxidative stress in crops by Chetan KESWANI, Hagera DILNASHIN, Hareram BIRLA, S.P. SINGH

“…A major source of ROS production in plants through aerobic metabolism is chloroplast, mitochondria, and peroxisome. The tripartite interactions involving Trichoderma- Phytopathogen-Host have received less attention in contrast to the plant–antagonist, plant–pathogen or pathogen–antagonist interactions. …”

Spatial and temporal population genetic variation and structure of Nothotsuga longibracteata (Pinaceae), a relic conifer species endemic to subtropical China by Yingjun Qiu, Yifei Liu, Ming Kang, Guanmei Yi, Hongwen Huang

“…Ten populations were sampled over the entire natural range of the species for spatial analysis, while three key populations with large population sizes and varied age structure were selected for temporal analyses using both nuclear microsatellites (nSSR) and chloroplast microsatellites (cpSSR). A recent bottleneck was detected in the natural populations of N. longibracteata. …”

Determining the optimal method for DNA isolation from fruit jams by Tereza SOVOVÁ, Barbora KŘÍŽOVÁ, Jaroslava OVESNÁ

“…The concentration and optical density were analysed using UV spectrophotometry and the amplifiability of the obtained DNA was evaluated using a PCR assay targeting a sequence coding for chloroplast tRNA-Leu. Samples isolated using the NucleoSpin® Food kit contained non-amplifiable DNA in eight cases, and samples isolated using the CTAB method could not be quantified. …”
