The transfer of tissue cultuired plants from in vitro to open greenhouse environments is frequently a multi-staged, labor intensive process that can raise production costs to commercially prohibitive levels. research is underway to test the feasibility of developing a consolidated, cost-… More

Salannin (c34h4o9) is a plant tetranortriterpenoid occurringin two species in the meliaceae, azadirachta indica a. juss.(neem) and melia dubia cav. salannin has been shown to be an antifeedant (feeding inhibitor) against several species of insect pest, including dipterans (flies), lepidopterans… More

This proposed research represents a unique combination of technologies and subsequent opportunity to examine the molecular basis of traits exhibiting quantitative expressionand inheritance. it has been observed that there are often strong associations between patterns of variation of isozyme markers… More

The lack of efficient tools to identify genotypes of superior water-use efficiency (wue) has led to little practical success in improving crops with regard to this very important trait. however, stable carbon isotope ( (13)c) analysis is presently emerging as a potentially highly efficient means of… More
