  • Fresh water blue green algae from Goa 
    Kerkar, V.; Madkaikar, S. (Indian Hydrobiology. 6(1and2); 2003; 45-48.)
    The present survey was undertaken along various places of Goa. Blue green algae were collected from various habitats such as astatic ponds, lakes, pools and ditches. The present random survey has resulted in the discovery ...
  • Tissue-specific localization of beta-carotene and iron in transgenic indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) 
    Krishnan, S.; Datta, K.; Baisakh, N.; de Vasconcelos, M.; Datta, S.K. (Current Science. 84(9); 2003; 1232-1234.)
    Tissue-specific distribution and localization of beta-carotene and iron were characterized in transgenic rice seeds by histochemical studies. Histochemical reactions clearly revealed the accumulation of beta-carotene in ...
  • Structural and histochemical studies on grain-filling in the caryopsis of rice (Oryza sativa L.) 
    Krishnan, S.; Dayanandan, P. (Journal of Biosciences. 28(4); 2003; 455-469.)
    The endosperm and embryo that constitute the filial tissues of rice caryopsis are isolated from the maternal tissues by the absence of any symplastic continuity. Nutrients are transported to the endosperm through a single ...
  • Occurrence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in tree species from Western Ghats of Goa, India 
    Khade, S.W.; Rodrigues, B.F. (Journal of Tropical Forest Science. 15(2); 2003; 320-331.)
    We surveyed the prevalence of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in Mollem forest area of Western Ghats of Goa. A total of 25 tree species belonging to 18 families was screened. AM colonisation in the tree species varied ...
  • Deep water calcareous algae from submerged banks of India 
    Kerkar, V. (Seaweed Research and Utilization. 25(1-2); 2003; 21-25.)
    Altogether 8 genera with 15 species of calcareous algae were collected by dredging at four submerged banks located in the Arabian sea (off Central west coast of India). Plants were found luxuriently at the depth range of ...
  • A new species of Glyphochloa W.D. Clayton from Goa, India 
    Fonseca, M.A.; Janarthanam, M.K. (Rheedea. 13; 2003; 35-38.)
    A new species of Glyphochloa, viz.: G. veldkampii M.A. Fonseca et Janarth. is described from Goa. It is allied to G. talbotii (Hook, f.) Clayton and G. henryi Janarth, et al, but is distinct from the two species in having ...
  • Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) status of tropical medicinal plants: A field survey of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal association in herbs 
    Bukhari, M.J.; Khade, S.W.; Jaiswal, V.; Gaonkar, U.C.; Rodrigues, B.F. (Plant Archives. 3(2); 2003; 167-174.)
    The status of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonization and spore density was critically examined in twenty medicinal herbs belonging to fourteen angiospermic families. All the plant species examined were colonized by ...
  • Vermiculariopsiella bender: Present status of species diversity 
    Prasad, T.S.K.; D'Souza, M.A.; Bhat, D.J. (Frontiers of Fungal Diversity in India (Prof. Kamal Festschrift), Ed. By: G.P. Rao, et al. International Book Distributing Co. Lucknow, India. 2003; 503-511.)
    Genus Veriniculariopsiclla Bender is briefly reviewed in this paper. Three new species, V. elegans, V. parva and V, indica, producing solitary, cylindrical, straight or slightly curved, smooth, aseplate, thick-walled, ...
  • Mosquito larvicidal and pathogenic fungi from Goa 
    Prasad, T.S.K.; AshwaniKumar; Bhat, D.J. (Prospects and Problems of Environment: Across the Millennium. Ed. By: M.N. Madhyastha, et al. Daya Publishing House, Delhi, India. 2003; 142-149.)
    This paper describes the survey of various localities in the State of Goa to isolate mosquito larvicidal and pathogenic fungi.
  • Photoinhibition of photosynthesis and mechanism of protection against photodamage in plants 
    Sharma, P.K. (Everyman's Science. 36; 2002; 237-252.)
    Photosynthesis is the process by which chlorophyll containing plants convert solar energy into photochemical energy. This energy is stored in the form of carbohydrates providing food for humans and all other heterotrophic ...
