Root-specific expression of chickpea cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase 6 leads to enhanced root growth, drought tolerance and yield without compromising nodulation.
Hitaishi Khandal,Santosh Kumar Gupta,Vikas Dwivedi,Drishti Mandal,Nilesh Kumar Sharma,Niraj Kumar Vishwakarma,Lalita Pal,Megha Choudhary,Aleena Francis,Paheli Malakar,Nagendra Pratap Singh,Kapil Sharma,Senjuti Sinharoy,Narendra Singh,Rameshwar Sharma,Debasis Chattopadhyay +15 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrated the potential of cytokinin level manipulation in increasing lateral root number and root biomass for agronomic trait improvement in an edible legume crop with indeterminate growth habit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of chickpea CIPK25 enhances root growth and tolerance to dehydration and salt stress in transgenic tobacco
TL;DR: Exposure to an ortholog of Arabidopsis CIPK25 and its high active form differentially increased salt and water-deficit tolerance demonstrated by improved growth and reduced leaf chlorosis suggesting that the kinase activity of CaCIPK 25 was required for these functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advance distribution of misoprostol for prevention of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) at home births in two districts of Liberia
Jeffrey M. Smith,Saye Dahn Baawo,Marion Subah,Varwo Sirtor-Gbassie,Cuallau Jabbeh Howe,Gbenga Ishola,Bentoe Z Tehoungue,Vikas Dwivedi +7 more
TL;DR: The postpartum hemorrhage prevention program in Liberia was moderately effective at achieving high uterotonic coverage of all births and correct timing of misoprostol self-administration needs improved emphasis during counseling and education.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advance distribution of misoprostol for the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage in South Sudan
Jeffrey M. Smith,Alexander Dimiti,Vikas Dwivedi,Isabella Ochieng,Maryrose Dalaka,Sheena Currie,Edward Eremugo Luka,John Rumunu,Solomon Orero,Jaime Mungia,Catharine McKaig +10 more
TL;DR: To determine if high uterotonic coverage can be achieved in South Sudan through a facility‐ and community‐focused postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) prevention program, a facility and community-focused post Partum Hemorrhage Prevention Program is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
