Research Blog: Written by Saloni Jaiswal 1 and Shiv Om Pratap 2 Ph. D. Scholar,  Institute of Biological Sciences Associate Professor, Institute of Biological Sciences SAGE University, Indore (M.P.) Phytochemicals are often considered as the link between the food and pharmaceuticals for the regulation of metabolic pathways in the living, significantly. Nowadays, food products that are naturally rich in such phytochemical compounds are also known as functional foods and nutraceuticals. Phytochemicals are bioactive components that help maintain and promote better growth. Current research has shown the medicinal properties of such phytochemicals is very important in the growth of living. Phytochemicals have various pharmacological effects on the body, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antispasmodic, anti-cancer, hepatoprotective, lipid-lowering, neuroprotective, blood pressure regulating, anti-aging, and protection against diabe...

For this purpose plants, animals and even micro-organisms are used as a biological resources to provide more benefits to society through advent tools of Biotechnological innovations like as; genetic engineering, RDT, GMOs, genomics, proteomics, site directed mutagenesis, genome mapping, molecular markers, anti-sense technology, Bio-informatics tools, CRISPR technology, DNA fingerprinting, molecular disease diagnostic tools, molecular farming, pharmacogenomics, agricultural b...

  Academic and Research Blog:  Written by  KAMINI CHOUHAN* and DR. SHIV OM PRATAP *Ph.D. Scholar, Institute of Sciences, SAGE University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh Associate Professor, Institute of Sciences, SAGE University    Introduction Sugarcane, a perennial C4 grass in the Poaceae family, is cultivated across more than 100 countries on approximately 27 million hectares, yielding about 1.95 billion tons of fresh cane annually. It provides nearly 80% of the world's sugar and 60% of bioethanol, underpinning economies in regions like Brazil, India, and China. Despite its importance, sugarcane is highly susceptible to biotic stresses, particularly diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, and fungi, which exploit its vegetative propagation and tropical climate for rapid spread. Pathogenicity in sugarcane refers to the ability of these pathogens to invade, colonize, and damage host tissues, often leading to reduced stalk elongation, sucrose content, and overall biomass...

BT, Final Year, Institute of Sciences, SAGE University, Indore  Associate Professor, Institute of Sciences, SAGE University, Indore  Introduction: The unexpected gene expression from the viruses, found due the introgression of foreign nucleic acid in the host followed by the synthesis of disease-causing m-RNA or the origin of unexpected trait. Molecular switch off of such targeted disease-causing mRNA by artificially synthesized m-RNA further for inhibiting unwanted metabolic pathways has attracted the higher researches, significantly.   For example, delaying of fruit ripening, inhibition of viral diseases, cancer treatment, disease resistant crops, restoration of altered metabolic pathways etc. This isn't a science fiction which is a very specific and versatile tools and real cutting-edge Biotechnological innovations for Health Care System an...
