The fruits of edible hypoglycaemic plants of Momordica charantia, dried seeds of Syzigium cumini, seed oil of Aegle marmelos and dried fruit powder of Coccinia indica, dried powder of the ischolar_mains and rhizomes of Curcuma longa and seeds of Trigonella foenumgraecum were tested on normoglycaemic as well as streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats for its antihyperglycaemic efficacy. The investigation confirms the traditional claim of antihyperglycaemic activity in these edible plants.Keywords

In biology, Support Vector Machines (SVM) is most frequently used tool for the analysis of gene expression, microarray experiments and other biological applications. In human genome dataset, only a small proportion of the DNA sequences represent genes, and the rest do not. In our work, we highlighted the reasons why, particular SVM, fails and what can be done to overcome this.Keywords

Thermodynamic properties and nucleic acid symmetry of upstream nucleotide regions to the binding sites, insertion sites or upstream to the gene regions in the eukaryotic genomes are very significant in revealing the properties of various elements such as microRNA sequence, gene sequence and Promoter sequence etc. They set signals for various microRNA to bind at specific location in the genomes and these sequences also help in gene regulation with microRNA. The miR-1 microRNA is one of the most important and common type of small microRNA precursor that regulates its target protein's expression in the cell of both plants and animals therefore its study is very significant. The main emphasis of this research and whole idea behind this kind of work is to find out upstream sequences which carry hidden properties like Railway signals and track sign board which can alert the drivers that how the way is ahead. MicroRNAs are of approximately 21-nucleotides long and play very significant role in gene regulation in variety of genes of different organisms. MicroRNAs and mRNAs (messenger RNA) constitute an important part of gene regulatory networks, influencing diverse biological phenomena. The mRNA (messengerRNA) translated in to protein by the process of translation but when microRNA binds to specific mRNA sequence it alters the gene regulation process this results the alteration in the resulting protein and its function. The binding mechanism of microRNA at target site is not very clear so the study in this field may reveal some secrets which can be helpful to understand the process of binding of microRNA at different mRNA for regulation in different genes. The analysis of upstream nucleotide sequences to the possible binding sites of microRNA in Oryza sativa untranslated mRNA sequences revealed some significant patterns or signals such as thermodynamic properties signals, sequence architectural signals, and energy consideration which may involve directly or indirectly for the binding of microRNA in Oryza sativa.Keywords

Quality of drinking water of the Bareilly has been studied and the results are presented in this paper. A total of 45 drinking water samples were collected from 15 different locations of the Bareilly and brought to the laboratory for analysis. Samples were analyzed for physico-chemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), temperature and seven trace metals (Zn, Cu, Mo, As, Ca K, Mg) using standard procedures. The results were compared with other national (BIS) and international (WHO) standards. pH of the tested samples was in the range of 7.06 to 8.46 while the temperature ranged between 31.2 to 34.6°C. EC of water samples was recorded in the range of 375 to 1994 μs cm-1 whereas TDS in the range of 263 to 897 ppm. In all water samples, pH ranged in the permissible limit whereas EC and TDS of some of the samples were above the permissible limit. Concentration of metals namely Zn, Cu, Mo, As, Ca, K and Mg were found in the range of 0.16-2.29, 1.11 to 1.96, 0.016-0.093, 0.001- 0.005, 30.44-99.09, 2.16-5.81 and 1.93-12.53 mg/l respectively. All the metals were found in limit except copper, molybdenum and calcium which exceeded the limits set by WHO (2004) and (BIS 2003) at some studied sites.Keywords

Aspergillus niger is used for xylanase production on agricultural waste as substrate under broth culture. Rice straw and sugarcane bagasse have been the most potential substrate for xylanase production. Two different mutagens were used: UV radiation for different time durations and 5-bromouracil of different concentrations. Mutants so formed were selected on the basis of morphological and colony characteristics. Selected mutants were checked for their stability, requirement of amino acid and xylanase activity. Tested mutants showed 4-fold increase in xylanase activity from wild typeKeywords
