Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Mechanisms of Ultraviolet Radiation-Induced DNA Damage and Repair
TL;DR: This review deals with UV-induced alterations in DNA and its maintenance by various repair mechanisms that are operative in various organisms with the expense of specific gene products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical profile, antifungal, antiaflatoxigenic and antioxidant activity of Citrus maxima Burm. and Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck essential oils and their cyclic monoterpene, dl-limonene
Priyanka Singh,Ravindra Shukla,Bhanu Prakash,Ashok Kumar,Shubhra Singh,Prashant Kumar Mishra,Nawal Kishore Dubey +6 more
TL;DR: The EOs were found non-mammalian toxic showing high LD(50) for mice (oral, acute) and may be recommended as safe plant based antimicrobials as well as antioxidants for enhancement of shelf life of food commodities by checking their fungal infestation, aflatoxin production as wellAs lipid peroxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of Thymus vulgaris L. essential oil as a safe botanical preservative against post harvest fungal infestation of food commodities
TL;DR: The thyme essential oil is recommended for large scale application as a plant based preservative for stored food items because of its strong antifungal as well as antiaflatoxigenic efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vijay Singh Meena,Vijay Singh Meena,Sunita Kumari Meena,Sunita Kumari Meena,Jay Prakash Verma,Ashok Kumar,Abhinav Aeron,Pankaj K. Mishra,Jaideep Kumar Bisht,Arunava Pattanayak,Muhammad Naveed,M. L. Dotaniya +11 more
TL;DR: A growing body of evidence demonstrates the potential of various microbes to enhance plant productivity and yield in cropping systems, however, the molecular mechanisms underlying these phenomena, the signals involved as well as the potential applications in a sustainable agriculture approach, and the biotechnological aspects for possible rhizosphere engineering are still matters of discussion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of PGPR and different concentration of phosphorus level on plant growth, yield and nutrient content of rice (Oryza sativa)
TL;DR: The treatment combination of PGPR strains of Pseudomonas culture with A. brasilense may be used as more effective combination for rice production due to more availability of NPK in the soil by cumulative effect of PG PR activities in the rhizosphere soil.
