ALLELE DIVERSITY FOR ABIOTIC STRESS RESPONSIVE CANDIDATE GENES IN CHICKPEA REFERENCE SET USING GENE BASED SNP MARKERS

Allele diversity for abiotic stress responsive candidate genes in chickpea reference set using gene based SNP markers

Chickpea is an important food legume crop for the semi-arid regions, however, its productivity is adversely affected by various biotic and abiotic stresses.Identification of candidate genes associated with abiotic stress response will help breeding efforts aiming to enhance its productivity.With this objective, 10 abiotic stress responsive candidat

Competitive RNA Templates for Detection and Quantitation of Growth Factors, Cytokines, Extracellular Matrix Components and Matrix Metalloproteinases by RT-PCR

Detection of low-abundance mRNAs by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has become a standard technique to determine gene expression by tissues and cells in culture.The ability to determine relative or absolute copy number of specific mRNAs has been difJicult due to inadequate internal standards to control for sample-to-sample

The impact of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) on health and wellbeing in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA): A case study of Kenya.

Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) remain endemic to many regions of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) left behind by socioeconomic progress.As such, these diseases are markers of extreme poverty and inequity that are propagated by the political, economic, social, and cultural systems that affect health and wellbeing.As countries embrace and work towards ac
