  • Launching mushroom biotechnology in Goa 
    Kamat, N.M. (BuildArena-Goa. 2(2); 2003; 20-28.)
  • Enhanced iron and zinc accumulation in transgenic rice with the ferritin gene 
    Vasconcelos, M.; Datta, K.; Oliva, N.; Khalekuzzaman, M.; Torrizo, L.; Krishnan, S.; Oliveira, M.; Goto, F.; Datta, S.K. (Plant Science. 164(3); 2003; 371-378.)
    The expression of the soybean ferritin gene, driven by the endosperm-specific glutelin promoter, leads to higher iron and zinc levels in transgenic indica rice grains is shown. Brown rice is rarely consumed, and polishing ...
  • A new species of Memnoniella from India 
    Prasad, T.S.K.; Asha, L.G.; Bhat, D.J. (Mycotaxon. 85; 2003; 341-344.)
    A new species of Hyphomycetes, Memnoniella indica, isolated from decaying leaves of an unidentified dicot plant from the forests of Andaman Islands, India, is described and illustrated. The fungus produces catanulate, ...
  • 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 ...
