    Krishnan, S.; Samson, P.; Ebenezer, A.I.; Dayanandan, P. (Rice quality: A pluridisciplinary approach, Ed. by: Chataigner J. (Cahiers Options Méditerranéennes; n. 24(3)). International Symposium, 24-27 Nov 1997. Nottingham (Great Britain). Montpellier, CIHEAM, 1998. vp.)
    The pattern of distribution of major storage chemicals and their route of entry into the caryopsis were investigated in IR50 rice and compared with several other cultivars and 17 wild species of Oryza. Fluorescence microscopy ...
  • Additions to the grasses of Goa 
    Rajkumar, S.; Joshi, V.C.; Janarthanam, M.K. (Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society. 96(1); 1999; 181-183.)
    The family Poaceae has attracted considerable attention due to its economic importance and diversity. However, the flora of Goa state has not been studied well due to its historical isolation , till 1961. The floras published ...
  • Photochemical and biochemical changes in wheat seedlings exposed to supplementary ultraviolet-B radiation 
    Sharma, P.K.; Anand, P.; Sankhalkar, S.; Shetye, R.. (Plant Science. 132(1); 1998; 21-30.)
    The effect of UV-B radiation (312 nm; 1 mW cm(-2)) was studied on net photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence and changes in flavonoid and carotenoid contents in wheat seedlings. Control plants (without UV-B treatment but ...
  • Additions to the Sedges of Goa 
    Rajkumar, S.; Joshi, V.C.; Janarthanam, M.K. (Journal of Economic and Taxonomic Botany. 22(3); 1998; 688-690.)
    The Goa state is rich in wetland habitats which are relatively underexplored. As a result of floristic study of wetlands, 11 species of sedges are being reported in the present paper as additions to the family Cyperaceae ...
  • Oxidative damage and changes in activities of antioxidant enzymes in wheat seedlings exposed to ultraviolet-B radiation 
    Sharma, P.K.; Anand, P.; Sankhalkar, S. (Current Science. 75(4); 1998; 359-366.)
    The effect of supplementary UV-B exposure (1 mW per cm(2)) on damage to photosynthetic membranes, and enzymatic and nonenzymatic processes metabolizing active oxygen species were studied in young wheat seedlings (Triticum ...
  • In defence of 'taxonomists' 
    Janarthanam, M.K. (Current Science. 75(11); 1998; 1103-1104.)
  • Effect of supplementary ultraviolet-B radiation on young wheat seedlings 
    Sharma, P.K.; Shetye, R.; Bhonsle, S. (Current Science. 72(6); 1997; 400-405.)
    Effect of supplementary UV-B radiation (1 mW m(-2)) on photosynthesis, flavonoid content and anatomical changes was studied in young wheat leaves, It was observed that supplementary UV-B radiation did not affect PS II ...
  • A new species of Arisaema (Araceae) from western Ghats of southern India 
    Yadav, S.R.; Patil, K.S.; Janarthanam, M.K. (Aroideana. 20; 1997; 53-56.)
    Our intensive survey of aroids of Western Ghats in the States of Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Goa for the last 10 years has resulted in the discovery of three new species of aroids. Of the three one of the new species of ...
  • Addition to the Dicotyledonous flora of Goa 
    Joshi, V.C.; Rajkumar, S.; Janarthanam, M.K. (Journal of Economic and Taxonomic Botany. 21(2); 1997; 495-500.)
    The flora of Goa is relatively underexplored as compared to other neighbouring states. The present paper adds 31 dicotyledonous species belonging to 26 genera and 15 families to the flora of Goa.
