Tissues in plants can be classified on the basis of the part they are present in or the kind of cells they contain. Largely, they are classified as simple (parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma) and complex (xylem and phloem) cells. Here, we will explore the latter type. Minerals and water are carried from the soil to […]

On the 15th of September 2021, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization popularly known as UNESCO declared the MDD or Mura-Drava-Danube as the first ‘five-country biosphere reserve’ of the world. An area of seven hundred km is been covered by the biosphere reserve. The area it covers is across the rivers of Mura,

Wood is a plant structural tissue. Wood anatomy is porous and fibrous. Wood is found in the stems and roots of various plants. Wood is also a naturally occurring material and wood anatomy is made up of cellulose. The cellulose fibres are very strong and can withstand high levels of tension. Other than cellulose, wood

The initiative is part of India’s recently formed National Rhino Conservation Strategy. The strategy focuses on  strengthening protection. expanding the current distribution range by at least 5%, rhino research in India.  active Indo-Nepal and Indo-Bhutan transboundary engagement. a focus on using wildlife forensics to combat poaching and illegal trade in rhino parts and products. The

A population is defined as a distinct group of people, whether it is a country or a collection of people who share common characteristics and attributes. By research we discovered that some organisms are able to respond physiologically, while others respond by the behavioural changes (like by migrating temporarily to less stressful places). Adaptation can

In plants, absorption of water and minerals is a fundamental procedure that is vital for their development and different metabolic actions. Absorption of water in lower plants happens through the procedure of osmosis by the entire plant body. In higher plants, the method of water absorption is by the root hairs. Plants can soak up

In two recent papers, WHO focuses on safety, efficacy, and ethics to help establish human genome editing as a tool for public health. Germline, Somatic, and heritable human genome editing were the focus of a two-year consultation.  Editing of genome-based on Human genome project registries, foreign medical travel, unregistered, unlawful, education, and empowerment are only

The World Health Organisation (WHO) published the third version of its Model List of National Essential Diagnostics List on January 29, 2021. (EDL). This version contains WHO-recommended Covid-19 assays (nucleic acid and antigen detection), enhances the range of tests for vaccine-preventable and infectious illnesses and non-communicable diseases, and adds an endocrinology section. Country governments now must implement

The Verbenaceae family, also known as vervain, consists of plants mainly from tropical regions like herbs, shrubs, trees, etc. Some of the flowers also contain an aromatic smell. It consists of 800 species distributed in 32 genera. This family is very similar to the Lamiaceae family for plant parts like corolla and calyx. These plants

Expression vectors, also known as expression constructs, are usually plasmids or viruses designed for gene expression in cells. Vectors are used to introduce a particular gene into a target cell and can direct the cellular mechanism for protein synthesis to produce the protein encoded by the gene. Expression vectors are the basic tool of biotechnology
