Abstract The obstacles that cause soybean productivity to decline are due fierce competition in land use with other commodities also strategic, such as corn and chili. This has an impact on the decrease crop area by about 5% per year, higher than projected which increases 2% year. In addition, harvested is widely diverted non-agricultural sector economic demands rate of population growth. One e...

Amongst the most important agricultural products in Brazil, soybean stands out, mainly as an export good. One of end-of-cycle diseases, Anthracnose, caused by fungus Colletotrichum truncatum (Schwein.) leads to severe damage grain quality and yield. The use natural a substitute for conventional pesticides plant diseases control is alternative found reduce food contamination environmental impact...

objective: it has been shown that deferasirox can reduce blood and tissues lead content in animal models. in this study the effect of deferasirox alone or combined with glycine as an antioxidant was evaluated in chronic cadmium toxicosis in rat. methods: male wistar albino rats were exposed to 200 ppm cadmium in the drinking water for 3 weeks and treated thereafter with deferasirox (140 mg/kg),...

Glycine, Alanine and Valine are taken as amino acids with an equal polar head and with thedifference in the length of hydrocarbon chains. The structural optimizations show the results of theisolated Glycine, Alanine and Valine in the gases phase, at the Hartree-Fock level by means ofSTO-3G,3-21G, 6-31G and 6-31+G basis sets. The calculations were performed for the ten (1-10)solvents using PCM m...

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the major staple food crops of the world. However, high photoperiod sensitivity, especially for tropical germplasms, impedes attempts to improve maize agronomical traits by integration of tropical and temperate maize germplasms. Physiological and phenotypic responses of maize to photoperiod have widely been investigated based on multi-site field observations; howev...

The pathway for the degradation of glyphosate (N-phosphonomethylglycine) by Pseudomonas sp. PG2982 has been determined by using metabolic radiolabeling experiments. Radiorespirometry experiments utilizing [3-14C]glyphosate revealed that approximately 50 to 59% of the C-3 carbon was oxidized to CO2. Fractionation of stationary-phase cells labeled with [3-14C]glyphosate revealed that from 45 to 4...

Sesamin is one of the major lignans found in sesame oil. Although some microbial metabolites of sesamin have been identified, sesamin-metabolic pathways remain uncharacterized at both the enzyme and gene levels. Here, we isolated microorganisms growing on sesamin as a sole-carbon source. One microorganism showing significant sesamin-degrading activity was identified as Sinomonas sp. no. 22. A s...

The metabolism of the broad-spectrum herbicide, glyphosate (N-phosphonomethylglycine) in a soil Pseudomonas sp. PG2982 has been determined by cross-polarization magic-angle spinning 15N and 13C NMR of intact lyophilized cells. Using samples grown on 13C- and 15N-labeled glyphosate, we find that PG2982 does not metabolize glyphosate to aminomethylphosphonate as has been reported for mixed cultur...
