The Difference between Life and Death: Fungal Endophytes Improve Survival and Increase Biomass in Multiply-Stressed Barley
Published In: GJSFR Part: C:Biological Science Volume: 15 Issue: 5
Sustainable farming systems are required to allow crops to better cope with the simultaneous multiple stresses that they grow under or are likely to be exposed to under future climate change. Fungal endophytes could form part of the solution. They have been shown to improve important agronomic traits under a single stress, but few studies have investigated the impact of endophytes on gro...

Localization of Acid Phosphatase in the Different Tissues of Developmental Stages of Indian Major Carp, Labeo rohita (Hamilton)
Published In: GJSFR Part: C:Biological Science Volume: 15 Issue: 3
Acid phosphatases (AcPs) are known to provide phosphate to tissues that have high energy requirements, especially during development, growth and maturation. AcPs is a lysosomal enzyme as it is lytic and destructive in nature. In the present investigation the attempt was made to localize this enzyme in the intestine, liver and kidney during the developing stages of Labeo rohita. For the h...
