Plasma membrane and tonoplast vesicles were isolated from roots of both the glycophytic cultivated tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum (Mill, cv. Heinz 1350) and its halophytic wild relative, Lycopersicon cheesmanii (Hook, C.H. Mull, ecotype 1401) grown under control and saline conditions. MgATP-dependent proton transport was measured by determining the rate of quench of quinacrine fluorescence.. R...

We investigated whether lines of transgenic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) expressing the Bs2 resistance gene from pepper, a close relative of tomato, demonstrate improved resistance to bacterial spot disease caused by Xanthomonas species in replicated multi-year field trials under commercial type growing conditions. We report that the presence of the Bs2 gene in the highly susceptible VF 36 bac...

the diuretic activity of methanol extract of oxystelma esculentum aerial parts (meoe) was studied in male wister albino rats at 5h and 24h interval. the animals were divided into 5 groups: control, urea, furosemide and 200mg/kg and 400mg/kg meoe. the extract was administered intraperitoneally (i.p) pretreated and all animals were saline meoe. the urine volume (in ml) and electrolytes excretion ...

Fagopyrum spp. (buckwheat) is a dicotyledonous pseudocereal crop mainly cultivated in the north-western Himalayan regions for its highly nutritional, antioxidant and therapeutic values. In present investigation, molecular characterization was performed by using ISSR (inter simple sequence repeat) markers on 42 accessions of four buckwheat species (Fagopyrum esculentum, F. sagittatum, tataricum ...

The local residents District Malakand dependent on medicinal for their primary healthcare. aim this study was document associated traditional knowledge Malakand, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Methods: area frequently visited from March August in 2018-2019, during peak flowering sea...

Resistance gene Cf-9 of cultivated tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) confers recognition of the AVR9 elicitor protein of the fungal pathogen Cladosporium fulvum. The Cf-9 locus, containing Cf-9 and four homologs (Hcr9s), originates from Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium (Lp). We examined naturally occurring polymorphism in Hcr9s that confer AVR9 recognition in the Lp population. AVR9 recognition occ...
