Genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance as percent of mean for 19 characters were assessed by field evalution observed for all the characters considered for the study. The analysis of variance indicated presence of significant variability among the genotypes for all the characters. Higher GCV and PCV values indicated presence of substantial genetic variability and less environmental influence for Chlorophyll, Ascorbic acid (mg/100g), Capsaicin (SHU), Fruit yield per plant (g), Fruit yield per ha and Number of fruits per plant. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent mean were noticed for Stalk to fruit ratio, Number of fruits per plant, Average dry fruit weight (g), Fruit yield per plant(g), Fruit yield per ha, Chlorophyll, Ascorbic acid (mg/100g) and Capsaicin (SHU) suggesting presence of additive gene action for inheritance of these yield attributes. Hence, simple selection would be effective for improvement of these traits.

Pyogenic infections can be caused by various microorganisms and mixed infections are common which require antibiotic therapy. The inappropriate use of antibiotics has resulted in development of antibiotic resistance. The bacteriological profile may remain same, but antibiotic susceptibility pattern varies. Hence the study was conducted to know bacteriological profile of pus samples and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was carried out from January to June 2019. 108 pus samples collected during study period were included. The samples were cultured on Blood and MacConkey agar. After aerobic incubation at 37 o C for 18-24 hrs, organisms were identified by standard methods and antibiotic susceptibility was tested by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. ESBL was detected by combined disk test and Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by Cefoxitin 30 µg disc. Results: Of 118 pus samples collected, 101(85.5%) were positive cultures and no growth was in 17(14.4%) samples. S. aureus 27(22.9%) was most common Gram positive isolate and Pseudomonas spp. 17(14.4%), was most common gram negative isolate. ESBL positivity was seen in 38(61.2%) and MRSA in 13(48.1%) S. aureus isolates. Most of gram negative isolates were susceptible to piperacillin / tazobactum 55(88.7%) and meropenem 53(85.4%) and gram positive isolates to vancomycin 27(100%) and linezolid 25(92.5%). Conclusion:The spread of beta-lactamase producing organisms has been increasing. Our study showed increased resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics which is a serious problem. To combat resistance irrational use of antibiotics should be avoided. Also regular surveillance helps in implementing better therapeutic strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality.

Objective: Rich endowment of traditional knowledge plays a critical role in health care, food security, culture, environment and development. Traditional knowledge is also widely used by the aromatic, flavoring, food and health industries. Plant-based traditional medicine has often been used to identify and fast-track the development of modern food and drugs. Plants synthesize such wide array of secondary metabolites that includes alkaloids, glucosinolates, terpenoids and phenylpropanoids. This study is aimed to review on indigenous and exotic medicinal plants containing an astounding food flavoring metabolite; 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (HMB). Material and Method:The review focuses on the isomer of vanillin, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, also called MBALD, HMB, or 2H4MB, a flavor compound that is generally found in the roots and rhizomes of medicinal plants. This food flavoring phenylpropenoid is one of the least investigated isomers of vanillin. HMB is known to exhibit a wide array of medicinal properties. Though the molecular role of these metabolites remains largely unknown, they are known to play a key role in plant-environment interactions/stress response/defence signaling and application in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. Discussion and Conclusion:One of the key secondary metabolites is the group of phenylproponoids synthesized either through shikimic acid pathway or the malonate/acetate pathway. Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) is the enzyme involved in phenylpropanoid pathway catalysing the deamination of phenylalanine to synthesize cinnamic acid that subsequently synthesizes variety of phenylpropanoid products. Inspite of its medicinal importance, the regulatory molecular mechanism underlying the biosynthetic pathway is largely unknown.

The internet has caused a humongous growth in the number of documents available online. Summaries of documents can help find the right information and are particularly effective when the document base is very large. Keywords are closely associated to a document as they reflect the document's content and act as indices for a given document. In this work, we present a method to produce extractive summaries of documents in the Kannada language, given number of sentences as limitation. The algorithm extracts key words from pre-categorized Kannada documents collected from online resources. We use two feature selection techniques for obtaining features from documents, then we combine scores obtained by GSS (Galavotti, Sebastiani, Simi) coefficients and IDF (Inverse Document Frequency) methods along with TF (Term Frequency) for extracting key words and later use these for summarization based on rank of the sentence. In the current implementation, a document from a given category is selected from our database and depending on the number of sentences given by the user, a summary is generated.

Cancer is a disease which leads to death, and chemotherapy is a treatment used to treat cancer. Lung cancer and breast cancer are most effective one in the world. The present study examines the anticancer property of culinary vegetables such as Allium vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, and beetroot which are used in day-to-day life have anticancer properties. Allicin and gallic acid in garlic decreases the risk of colon, pancreas, stomach, esophagus, and breast cancers. In onion, cysteine sulfoxide is sulfur compounds which have ant-cancer, antiplatelet, and antithrombotic property. In broccoli, glucosinolates and sulfur compounds play a major role in the treatment of breast and prostate cancer. Betacyanin is a compound present in beetroot which has antioxidant property and anticancer activity.
