INTRODUCTION:
The first plant virus shown to have a DNA genome and the first shown to replicate by reverse transcription.
Worldwide but only causes significantly losses locally.
It is transmitted by aphids .
Type member of the Caulimovirus genus, contains 11 species and 6 possible members.
significantly impact on plant virology and plant molecular biology.
The virus is an important source of gene regulatory elements, used exclusively in the genetic manipulation of plants.
STRUCTURE:Icosachedral with a diameter of 52Â nm built from 420 capsid protein subunits.
It contains a circular double-stranded DNA molecule of about 8.0 kB .
Dna is interrupted by sitespecific discontinuties resulting from its replication by reverse transcription.
After entering the host, the single stranded nicks in the viral DNA are repaired, forming a supercoiled molecule that binds to histones.
DNA is transcriped into a full length .
Replication
Risk Factors:The Cauliflower mosaic virus promoter (CaMV 35S) is used in most transgenic crops to activate foreign genes which have been artificially inserted into the host plant. It is inserted into transgenic plants in a form which is different from that found when it is present in its natural Brassica plant hosts. This enables it to operate in a wide range of host-organism environments which would otherwise not be possible.
Replication of virus is very complicated process.
Virus never reproduce by division.
They are replicated by a process in which all components of virus are produced separately and are assembled into intact virion.
For replication of virus host is necessary.
Virus are host specific.
Host may be bacteria, plant ,animal.
A bacteriophage (informally, phage) is a virus that infects and replicates within a bacterium. The term is derived from "bacteria" and the Greek (phagein), "to devour". Bacteriophages are composed of proteins that encapsulate a DNA or RNA genome, and may have relatively simple or elaborate structures. Their genomes may encode as few as four genes, and as many as hundreds of genes. Phages replicate within the bacterium following the injection of their genome into its cytoplasm. Bacteriophages are among the most common and diverse entities in the biosphere.
Phages are widely distributed in locations populated by bacterial hosts, such as soil or the intestines of animals. One of the densest natural sources for phages and other viruses is sea water, where up to 9×108 virions per milliliter have been found in microbial mats at the surface,] and up to 70% of marine bacteria may be infected by phages. They have been used for over 90 years as an alternative to antibiotics in the former Soviet Union and Central Europe, as well as in France. They are seen as a possible therapy against multi-drug-resistant strains of many bacteria (see phage therapy). Nevertheless, phages of Inoviridae have been shown to complicate biofilms involved in pneumonia and cystic fibrosis, shelter the bacteria from drugs meant to eradicate disease and promote persistent infection

Viruses are microscopic organisms that exist almost everywhere on earth. They can infect animals, plants, fungi, and even bacteria.Viruses vary in complexity. They consist of genetic material, RNA or DNA, surrounded by a coat of protein, lipid (fat), or glycoprotein. Viruses cannot replicate without a host, so they are classified as parasitic.They are considered the most abundant biological entity on the planet.
Here we discuss the general properties of viruses in detail.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.

Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.

2. • Virus taxonomy is for naming of viruses and placing them into a taxonomic system
• Virus mainly classified based on phenotypic characters (morphology, nucleic acid type,
host organism, mode of replication and type of disease they cause)
Purpose of taxonomy
• To make structural arrangements for easy understandings
• To able to communicate with each other
• Identifying the properties and nature of new viruses
• Study of evolutionally relationships
3. Johnson (1927)
• Adding the name virus and a number to the common name for the host
• Eg - Tobacco virus 1
K M Smith (1937)
• Named and grouped according to the generic name of the host
• Eg - Nicotiana virus 1
Holmes (1939)
• Latin binomial system of naming based on host reaction & method of
transmission
• Eg - Marmor tabaci, Holmes
1940 to 1966
• A generally accepted system of nomenclature & classification could be
• developed through international co-operation & agreement
4. What is the need for nomenclature and classification?
1. It gives a structural arrangement – understanding is easy
2. It helps in communication between virologists
3. It enables properties of new viruses to be predicted
4. It reveals the possible evolutionary relationships
Early naming is based on host and most important symptom
• Eg. Tobacco mosaic virus
5. At present they are two schemes for classification of
viruses
1. International committee on taxonomy of viruses (ICTV)
2. Baltimore classification
ICTV
International committee on nomenclature of viruses (ICNV, 1966) was
renamed as International committee on taxonomy of viruses (ICTV, 1973)
• By 2012, 7 orders, 96 families, 22 subfamilies, 420 genera, and 2618 species
has been identified by ICTV.
6. ICTV classification
Began to devise and implement rules for the naming and classification of viruses
early in the 1990s
order (-virales)
Family (-viridae)
Subfamily (-virinae)
Genus (-virus)
Phylum – mycota
Sub-phylum – mycotina
Class – mycetes
Order – ales
Family – aceae
7. ICTV ….1973
• To develop internationally agreed taxonomy of viruses
• To develop internationally agreed names for virus taxa
• To communicate the virus taxonomic decisions to the international community of
virologists
• To maintain an index of agreed names of virus taxa
10. The designation of abbreviations is based on
1. Abbreviation should be as simple as possible
2. It must not be duplicate
3. The word “virus” in a name is abbreviated as “V”
• The word “viroid” as “Vd”
4. Mosaic – M; Mottle – Mo
• Eg. Cowpea mosaic virus – CPMV; Cowpea mottle virus – CPMoV
5. Ringspot – “RS” in many cases, sometime “R”
6. Symptomless – “SL” in many cases, sometime “S”
7. The second / third lr in lower case represent host
• Eg - CdMV – Cardamom mosaic virus
11. 8. Sometime as two capital as exception
• Eg CPRMV – Cowpea rugose mosaic virus
9. Abbreviation for single word should not exceed 2 lrs
10. Secondary lr in abbreviation are omitted when their use would make the abbreviation
excessively long, generally more than 5 lrs CGMMV – CGMoMV - Cucumber
green mottle mosaic virus
11. Geographic region as TYLCV-Th
12. Associated virus – GLRaV-3
13. The names of virus orders, families, subfamilies, genera and species should be
written in italics with the first letter capitalized.
14. Other words are not capitalized unless they are proper nouns,
• e.g. Tobacco mosaic virus, Poliovirus, Murray River encephalitis virus.
12. Rules for naming viruses
Rules pertaining to genus
• A genus is a group of species sharing certain common characters.
• A genus name shall be a single word ending in "...virus”
• Approval of a new genus name must be linked to approval of a type species.
Rules pertaining to subfamily
• A subfamily is a group of genera sharing certain common characters.
• used when needed to solve a complex hierarchical problem
A subfamily name shall be a single word ending in "...virinae
13. Rules pertaining to family
• A family is a group of genera (whether or not these are organized into
• subfamilies) sharing certain common characters
• A family name shall be a single word ending in ..viridae”
• Approval of a new family name must be linked to approval of a type genus
Rules pertaining to order
• An order is a group of families sharing certain common characters
• An order name shall be a single word ending in "...virales”
