Every single step in the pathway of carotenogenesis in the leaves or any part of the plants is regulated and controlled by specific genes. It was inferred that these genetic components would be inherited by either undifferentiated (callus) or differentiated (in vitro shoot) cells since they were initiated from their respective intact plants. Thus,

Over the past decade, ecologists have tried to determine how changes in species composition and diversity affect ecosystem structure and function. Until recently, the majorities of these studies have been conducted in terrestrial ecosystems and have not taken into account environmental variability. Now a days, humans tend to neglect water as part o

Consequently, the earth confronted critical issues on protection and restoration of biodiversity. The impact of urbanization on biodiversity is concerned on the relationship between b

Nutrient enrichment or eutrophication is a process of increasing plant nutrients in water bodies, frequently due to run-off from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life. Eutrophication process is assisted by internal and external sources of nutrients such as nitrogen fixation and phosphate. In freshwater ecosystem, anthropogenic source
