Nanobiolistics: New Generation Transfection System for Animals and Plants
Authors:
Aryadeep Roychoudhury*
Abstract:
The potentiality of genetic engineering is well recognized in recent times in creating genetic modifications so that desirable traits can be incorporated by transferring and integrating an alien gene within the genome of an organism. Several methods of biomolecule delivery are reported, of which the biolistic delivery of biomolecular cargoes to animal and plant

Neurotransmitter Acetylcholine Comes to the Plant Rescue
Authors:
Aryadeep Roychoudhury*
Abstract:
Acetylcholine is the most common and functional neurotransmitter in humans, produced at the synaptic junctions during the relay of nerve impulse along neurons. This molecule is also reported across several taxonomic groups throughout the plant kingdom, along with the presence of the enzymes, choline acetyltransferase and acetylcholinesterase involved in acetylcholine metabolism
