Isolation and Characterization of Rhizosphere-Competent Indigenous Phosphate-Solubilizing Bacteria for Biofertilizer Applications
Abstract: Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for crop growth and development. Low levels of P in soil is due to high reactivity of soluble P with calcium (Ca), iron (Fe) or aluminum (Al) that lead to P precipitation. Mineral phosphate (P) solubilization is an important activity of rhizospheric bacteria that contribute significantly to the plant growth and development in eco-friendly manner. Four potent phosphate solubilizers (PSB-2, PSB-3, PSB-4 and PSB-7), …

THE REGULATORY ROLE OF SMALL RNAS IN PLANT DEVELOPMENT AND DEFENCE MECHANISM
Abstract: Small RNAs (sRNAs) are 20 to 40 nucleotides in length and plants use these regulatory RNAs to direct gene expression. In eukaryotes they act as a sequence-specific guide in several processes like assembly of heterochromatin, DNA elimination, mRNA cleavage and translational repression. Classes of sRNAs are categorized based on their origin and biogenesis. Out of all these, miRNAs and ta-siRNAs, constitute two important classes of endogenous small RNAs, are the …
