The evidence for the operation of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in the metabolism of plant mitochondria has been based mostly on studies of oxidative activity. The oxidation of diand tricarboxylic acids of the cycle was demonstrated in a variety of tissues, such as etiolated seedlings of mung bean (22), pea (10, 31), Avena (32), and Black Valentine bean (4), lupin cotyledons (7), castor-bean end...

ABSTRACT Pisum sativum L. is a multi-purpose crop. The duration of its vegetative and reproductive periods determined by combination temperature humidity genotype response to these conditions. To minimize the loss productivity due adverse conditions in sensitive crop, we evaluated phenological development production different growing seasons. We used randomized block design, experiments were co...

A series of poly(esteramine)s (PEAs) constructed from low molecular weight polyethyleneimine (LPEI) and Pluronic were evaluated for the delivery of antisense oligonuclotides (AOs), 2'-O-methyl phosphorothioate RNA (2'-OMePS) and phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) in cell culture and dystrophic mdx mice. Improved exon-skipping efficiency of both 2'-OMePS and PMO was observed in the C2C...

Midpoint potentials of plant-type ferredoxins from a range of sources were measured by redox titrations combined with electron-paramagnetic-resonance spectroscopy. For ferredoxins from higher plants, green algae and most red algae, the midpoint potentials (at pH 8.0) were between --390 and --425 mV. Values for the major ferredoxin fractions from blue-green algae were less negative (between --32...

Green analytical methods employing flow analysis with simple natural reagent extracts have been exploited. Various formats of flow based analysis systems including a single line FIA, a simple lab on chip with webcam camera detector, and a newly developed simple lab on chip system with reflective absorption detection and the simple extracts from some available local plants including butterfly pe...

Pea crabs are commercially significant parasites in the aquaculture production of bivalves in many parts of the world. However, there is scant information available on the biology of these important parasites in aquaculture. The population structure, sex ratio, and breeding status were determined for the pea crab Nepinnotheres novaezelandiae residing in a typical green-lipped mussel Perna canal...
