Michigan Asparagus Clone Trial

Foster : On Trial in Michigan [ May 1923 ] 1 On Trial in Michigan

St. Joseph, Michigan, scene of the “Red” trials, is a town of some 8,000 people situated on the shore of Lake Michigan about 60 miles by boat from Chicago or 100 miles around by railroad. It has few industries, depending for its sustenance upon the extensive fruit growing country surrounding, and also upon the heavy influx of tourists during the summer. It is the seat of Berrien County, in whic...

lsolation and Characterization of a cDNA Clone for a Harvest-lnduced Asparagine Synthetase from Asparagus officinalis

A full-length cDNA clone (plIP27) encoding asparagine synthetase (AS; EC 6.3.5.4) was isolated from a cDNA library prepared from the tip section (apex to 30 mm) of Asparagus officinalis L. spears. The cDNA clone encodes an mRNA of 1978 bp, giving a derived protein of 66.5 kD molecular mass. l h e derived amino acid sequence is 81% homologous to AS from fisum safivum. Only low levels of transcri...

A Double-Blind Randomized Clinical Trial for Evaluation of Galactogogue Activity of Asparagus racemosus Willd.

  Asparagus racemosus Willd. has repeatedly been mentioned as a galactogogue in Ayurvedic literature and has been confirmed through animal experiments as well. This randomized double-blind clinical trial evaluates its galactogogue effect in 60 lactating mothers by measurement of changes in their prolactin hormone level during the study. Several secondary parameters namely mothers’ weight, babie...
