  • Controlling Uzi through hyperparasitoids 
    Pai, I.K. (Indian Silk. 38; 1999; 11-12.)
  • Fatty acid composition of the ingested food only slightly affects physicochemical properties of liver total phospholipids and plasma membranes in cold-adapted freshwater fish 
    Roy, R.; Fodor, E.; Kitajka, K.; Farkas, T. (Fish Physiology and Biochemistry. 20(1); 1999; 1-11.)
    The fatty acid content, fatty acid molecular species composition, and fluidity of phospholipid vesicles and plasma membranes of livers of fish feeding on phytoplankton (silver carp, Hypophthalmichtys molitrix), zooplankton, ...
  • Zooplankton diversity on Taleigao Plateau, Goa 
    Pai, I.K.; Terdalkar, S. (Trends in Life Sciences (India). 14(1); 1999; 1-5.)
    We have sampled zooplankton from five different fresh water bodies on Taieigao Plateau, Goa, by using standard zooplankton collection methods. This report provides first estimates of the diversity and abundance of zooplankton ...
  • Exopolysaccharides of Pseudomonas mendocina P(2)d 
    Royan, S.; Parulekar, C.; Mavinkurve, S. (Letters in Applied Microbiology. 29(5); 1999; 342-346.)
    Pseudomonas mendocina P(2)d cells grown at room temperature in sodium benzoate as sole source of carbon, followed by storage on ice, form a viscous pellet on centrifugation. Such viscosity is not produced by cells grown ...
  • Studies on lead sorption by Fusarium solani 
    Fernandes, O.S.; Nazareth, S.W. (Pollution Research. 18(3); 1999; 211-216.)
    The biomass of Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc. can effectively sorb lead from a solution of lead nitrate maximally within 5 seconds. Alkali treatment of mycelial biomass shows only a marginal increase in metal binding capacity, ...
  • Vam association in seedlings of some plant species growing in iron ore mine spoils in Goa (India) 
    Rodrigues, B.F. (Indian Journal of Forestry. 22(1and2); 1999; 136-140.)
    As assessment of VA mycorrhizal association in 21 naturally occurring seedlings of shrub and tree species belonging to 19 genera and distributed among 16 families collected from a 12 years old iron ore mine reject dump was ...
  • Brassinosteroids and benzylaminopurine increase yield in IR50 indica rice 
    Krishnan, S.; Azhakanandam, K.; Ebenezer, G.A.I.; Samson, N.P.; Dayanandan, P. (Current Science. 76(2); 1999; 145-147.)
    We investigated the effects of brassinosteroids (BR) and several other plant hormones and other plant growth regulators (PGRs) on the vegetative and reproductive growth of IR50 rice. This report focusses on the promising ...
  • Comments from an ICPS correspondent: "Nelipu" of van Rheede 
    Janarthanam, M.K. (Carnivorous Plant Newsletter. 28(2); 1999; 44-46.)
  • Structural and chemical changes in developing and mature Rice Grains 
    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 ...
