CORRELATED MECHANOCHEMICAL MAPS OF ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA PRIMARY CELL WALLS USING ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPE INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY

Correlated mechanochemical maps of Arabidopsis thaliana primary cell walls using atomic force microscope infrared spectroscopy

Spatial heterogeneity in composition and organisation of the primary cell wall affects the mechanics of cellular morphogenesis.However, directly correlating cell wall MANUKA HONEY 400+MGO composition, organisation and mechanics has been challenging.To overcome this barrier, we applied atomic force microscopy coupled with infrared (AFM-IR) spectrosc

Forest Biosecurity Systems and Processes: An Indian Perspective

Biological invasions continue unabated across the globe despite all efforts to manage the problem by implementing biosecurity regulations and associated management methods.In this context, this paper reviews the plant biosecurity legislation applicable to agriculture and forestry sectors in India to prevent/manage invasions, with the objective of H

Response of bacterial communities to variation in water quality and physicochemical conditions in a river-reservoir system

The construction of high dams results in changes to the ecohydrology processes of river reaches both upstream and downstream of the dam, in addition to causing stratification of reservoir waters.Changes in these hydrodynamic processes then lead to changes in the habitats and nutrients of the waters that are important for basal food chain organisms,
