GENETIC ENGINEERING OF COTTON WITH A NOVEL CRY2AX1 GENE TO IMPART INSECT RESISTANCE AGAINST HELICOVERPA ARMIGERA

Genetic engineering of cotton with a novel cry2AX1 gene to impart insect resistance against Helicoverpa armigera

Embryogenic calli of cotton (Coker310) were cocultivated with the Agrobacterium Eyelashes tumefaciens strain LBA4404 harbouring the codon-optimised, chimeric cry2AX1 gene consisting of sequences from cry2Aa and cry2Ac genes isolated from Indian strains of Bacillus thuringiensis.Forty-eight putative transgenic plants were regenerated, and PCR analys

Harmonics and unbalanced load compensation by a modular multilevel cascaded converter active power conditioner

This paper presents a novel control scheme for a modular multilevel cascaded converter (MMCC) functioning as an active power conditioner (APC) to control the reactive power, eliminate the current harmonics, and compensate unbalanced load current Table Runner simultaneously.This combines a modified predictive current controller with the inter-cluste

Interdependent Determinants of Health and Death? Examining the Linkages between Health Equity, Human Rights, and Democracy during COVID-19

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has been characterised by health inequities in differential rates of COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality and differential access to essential COVID-19-related health care interventions such as vaccines.Inequities through the pandemic have deeply illuminated the interdependence between health inequities, human

Analysis of the Coupling Effect of Thermal and Traffic Loads on Cement Concrete Pavement with Voids Repaired with Polymer Grout

Under the repeated action of traffic and thermal loads, a cement concrete pavement slab may partially lose contact with its base course, and voids may develop underneath the slab.Such distress will greatly impact the pavement performance.To fill the voids and restore Basketball the base support to the slab, the technology of polymer grouting has be
