Journal ArticleDOI
Agrobacterium -mediated genetic transformation and development of herbicide-resistant sugarcane ( Saccharum species hybrids) using axillary buds
Markandan Manickavasagam,Andy Ganapathi,Vasudevan Ramesh Anbazhagan,B. Sudhakar,Natesan Selvaraj,A. Vasudevan,S. Kasthurirengan +6 more
TL;DR: Results show that, with this protocol, generation and multiplication of transgenic shoots can be achieved in about 5 months with transformation efficiencies as high as 50%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypoglycaemic and hypolipidaemic effects of Withania somnifera root and leaf extracts on alloxan-induced diabetic rats.
Rajangam Udayakumar,S. Kasthurirengan,Thankaraj Salammal Mariashibu,Manoharan Rajesh,Vasudevan Ramesh Anbazhagan,Sei Chang Kim,Andy Ganapathi,Chang Won Choi +7 more
TL;DR: Treatment of the diabetic rats withWSREt, WSLEt and glibenclamide restored the changes of the above parameters to their normal level after eight weeks of treatment, indicating that WSREt and WSLET possess hypoglycaemic and hypolipidaemic activities in alloxan-induced diabetes mellitus (DM) rats.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of polyamines on the efficiency of multiplication and rooting of Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal and content of some withanolides in obtained plants
Ganeshan Sivanandhan,Thankaraj Salammal Mariashibu,Muthukrishnan Arun,Manoharan Rajesh,S. Kasthurirengan,Natesan Selvaraj,Andy Ganapathi +6 more
TL;DR: An efficient mass multiplication protocol was developed for Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal from nodal explants of field-grown plants supplemented with 6-benzyladenine, indole-3-acetic acid, and with the addition of polyamine, spermidine and this protocol will be useful for scale-up production of withanolides on commercial scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant Effect of Dietary Supplement Withania somnifera L. Reduce Blood Glucose Levels in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Rats
Rajangam Udayakumar,S. Kasthurirengan,A. Vasudevan,Thankaraj Salammal Mariashibu,Jesudass Joseph Sahaya Rayan,Chang Won Choi,Andy Ganapathi,Sei Chang Kim +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the presence of phenolic compounds including flavonoids in W. somnifera root and leaf extracts and their antioxidant activity may play a vital role in reduction of blood glucose level in alloxan-induced diabetic rats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glutamine : A suitable nitrogen source for enhanced shoot multiplication in Cucumis sativus L.
A. Vasudevan,Natesan Selvaraj,Andy Ganapathi,S. Kasthurirengan,V. Ramesh Anbazhagan,M. Manickavasagam +5 more
TL;DR: Shoot tip explants of cucumber were cultured in vitro on Murashige-Skoog medium with L-glutamine, adenine sulphate, asparagine, ammonium succinate, potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate as the nitrogen sources to study their effects on in vitro morphogenesis.
