Studies on mint breeding : X. Induced triploid clor of Japanese mint (Mentha arvensis L. var. piperascens MAL.).

Toothpaste-induced anaphylaxis caused by mint (Mentha) allergy.

The Genetic Basis for the Conversion of Menthone to Menthol in Japanese Mint.

HE major components of Mentha oils are a principal ketone, and its related alcohol and ester. Since these compounds account for 75-85 percent of the oil by weight, an elementary genetic understanding of their origin and relationship would seem important to any plant breeding work. In this paper, we wish to consider the genetic relationship between the ketone (menthone) and its related alcohol (...

Structure of a heterotetrameric geranyl pyrophosphate synthase from mint (Mentha piperita) reveals intersubunit regulation.

Terpenes (isoprenoids), derived from isoprenyl pyrophosphates, are versatile natural compounds that act as metabolism mediators, plant volatiles, and ecological communicators. Divergent evolution of homomeric prenyltransferases (PTSs) has allowed PTSs to optimize their active-site pockets to achieve catalytic fidelity and diversity. Little is known about heteromeric PTSs, particularly the mecha...

MODULATION OF CARCINOGEN-METABOLIZING ENZYME BY MADINAH MINT (Mentha spp) IN RAT LIVER

BACKGROUND The present study was undertaken to assess whether boiling water mint extract (BWME) modulates the cytochrome P450 mixed function oxidase system. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male albino rats were randomly divided into two groups, comprising 12 animals each. The first group served as control, whereas the second was maintained on BWME (10 % w/v) as its sole drinking liquid for six weeks. L...

The Multimedia Internet Terminal (MInT)

The Multimedia Internet Terminal (MINT)1 is a flexible multimedia tool set that allows the establishment and control of multimedia sessions across the Internet. The system architecture is fully distributed, with no central components. For each participant, a coordinating application manages a set of loosely coupled media and control agents. Using the coordinating application, session members ca...
