Sustainable intensification of crop production
Relevance Concerns about the environmental impact of farming has increasingly been the focus of discussions in the EU. Croplands, a primary land use in Europe, have a significant impact on the environment (soil, water bodies, global climate, local biodiversity and human health). The use of fertilisers and pesticides associated with conventional farming may lead to pollution and/or climate chang...
متن کاملBioactivity potential of some marine algae from south of Iran
Algae are composed of a diverse group of various aquatic organisms. Secondary or primary metabolites from these organisms may be potential bioactive compounds of interest for use in the development of new pharmaceutical agents. In this research, four species of marine algae, Ulva lactuca, Padina pavonica, Colpomenia sinuosa and Cystoseira myrica, isolated from Persian Gulf coasts were evaluated...
متن کاملPhytochelatin production in marine algae. 2. Induction by various metals
Phytochelatin has been quantified in Thalassiosira weissflogii, a marine diatom after exposure to a series of trace metals (Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu, Zn, Co, Ag, and Hg) at concentrations similar to those in the marine environment. Within the range of concentrations relevant to natural waters, Cd, and to a lesser extent Cu and Zn, are the most effective inducers of phytochelatins. The generality of this ...
متن کاملAlkaloids in Marine Algae
This paper presents the alkaloids found in green, brown and red marine algae. Algal chemistry has interested many researchers in order to develop new drugs, as algae include compounds with functional groups which are characteristic from this particular source. Among these compounds, alkaloids present special interest because of their pharmacological activities. Alkaloid chemistry has been widel...
متن کاملMarine Algae as a Potential Source for Anti-Obesity Agents
Obesity is a major epidemic that poses a worldwide threat to human health, as it is also associated with metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Therapeutic intervention through weight loss drugs, accompanied by diet and exercise, is one of the options for the treatment and management of obesity. However, the only approved anti-obesity drug currently available in the mar...
