Role of Mating Receptivity Peptides in Helicoverpa armigera: Molecular and Evolutionary Perspectives

Rama Thyloor, H. B. Kiran Kumar, Saraswathi Saraswathi & Doddamane Manjulakumari · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2024

Previous studies have implicated the role of peptides/proteins in male accessory glands (MAGs), responsible for the induction of behavioral and reproductive changes in Helicoverpa armigera females. Our and several other studies have seen the MAG showed post-mating behaviors such...

Endophytes for Biological Control of Bacterial Diseases in Horticultural Crops: Mechanisms, Translational Constraints and the Case of Pomegranate Blight

M. B. Geetha, H. S. Ravikumar Patil & H. B. Kiran Kumar · Asian Journal of Agricultural and Horticultural Research · 2026

Bacterial diseases of horticultural crops are difficult to manage because pathogens can multiply rapidly on or within susceptible tissues, exploit wounds and natural openings, persist in propagation material, and respond inconsistently to bactericides under field conditions. Endo...

In-silico Comparison of Predicted 16S rRNA Secondary Structure in Strains of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. Punicae: A Preliminary Note

J. Thanuja, M. B. Geetha, Ravikumar Patil. H. S & H. B. Kiran Kumar · Journal of Scientific Research and Reports · 2026

This study evaluates the predicted secondary structure and structural alignment of 16S rRNA sequences from two previously reported strains of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae, designated Xa1 and Xa2, together with selected representative Xanthomonas sequences. The analysis was...

Natural Antisense Transcripts in Human Gene Regulation and Disease: A Critical Appraisal of Mechanisms and Therapeutic Prospects

M. D. Priya, K. Latha, D. J. Shruthi, S. Rajesha & H. B. Kiran Kumar · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2026

Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) are RNA molecules transcribed from the DNA strand opposite a protein-coding or non-coding gene, and they constitute one of the most pervasive yet mechanistically heterogeneous classes of the mammalian non-coding transcriptome. Since large-scal...

PolyG (Polyglycine) Repeat and Human Diseases: An Update on the Biology, Diseases Mechanisms and Current Therapeutic Interventions

B. R. Mahalakshmi, J. N. Sharada Devi, D. J. Shruthi, B. K. Manjunath & H. B. Kiran Kumar · Journal of Applied Life Sciences International · 2026

Nucleotide repeats known as short tandem repeats (STRs) can be found in both coding and non-coding areas of the human genome such a polyglutamine (polyQ), polyglycine (polyG) and polyalanine (PolyA). PolyG repeat expansions, are caused by GGC repeat expansions leading to numerous...

Chromosomal Rearrangements and Genetic Fusion–Fission Dynamics in Eukaryotes: Mechanisms, Evolution, and Functional Implications

M D Priya, B. R. Mahalakshmi, J. N. Sharada Devi, Sumarani, H B Divyashree & H. B. Kiran Kumar · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2026

Structural changes in chromosomes arise through various processes and are often associated with specific genomic features that promote genetic instability. Chromosomal rearrangements have long been recognised as having significant effects on fertility and increasing the risk of h...
