introduction: salinity is the most significant abiotic factor limiting crop productivity and several physiological responses, including modification of ion balance, water status, mineral nutrition, stomatal behavior, photosynthetic efficiency and so on. the gf677 (prunuspersica×prunusamygdalus) is widelyusedas rootstock for peach and almond. it is mainly used as a rootstock because of its resis...

Background and Aims: Q59L mutant of L-asparaginase enzyme from Escherichia coli (E. coli) has been introduced with lower side effects. This version of the enzyme might have potential applications in the treatment of leukemia patients. We utilized SHuffle T7 strain of E. coli, to produce the mutant enzyme in the presence of chaperone molecules. Materials and Methods: Q59LAsp gene was cloned in...

We have previously demonstrated that a cultured porcine kidney cell, LLC-PK(1), maintains the characteristics of a polar renal epithelial cell in culture, and responds to salmon calcitonin and [arginine]vasopressin by increasing cyclic AMP content. To demonstrate the usefulness of this cell line as a model for the study of the biochemical events distal to cyclic AMP production, the activation o...

background: soluble microbial products (smps) have an effective role on fouling of membrane in bioreactors (mbrs). the aim of this study was to survey the role of smps on mbrs used in treating municipal wastewater. materials: lowry and phenol sulfuric acid methods were used to measure carbohydrates concentrations and protein content, respectively. biochemical oxygen demand (bod), chemical oxyge...

Hedqvist, H. 2004. Metabolism of soluble proteins by rumen microorganism and the influence of condensed tannins on nitrogen solubility and degradation. Doctoral thesis. ISSN 1401-6249, ISBN 91-576-6780-2. The amino acid requirements of ruminants are met by two sources; microbes leaving the rumen and dietary protein escaping fermentation in the rumen. Much ruminant research has therefore focused...

Heat shock is considered an abiotic stress for plant growth, but the effects of heat shock on physiological responses of cucumber plant leaves with and without downy mildew disease are still not clear. In this study, cucumber seedlings were exposed to heat shock in greenhouses, and the responses of photosynthetic properties, carbohydrate metabolism, antioxidant enzyme activity, osmolytes, and d...

As natural plant growth stimulators, amino acids are widely used to improve the yield and quality of crops. Change in enzymes activities of N assimilation (NR, NiR and GS), residual nitrate (NO3-), soluble protein content, and yield of spinach and lettuce plants were investigated under replacing 20% nitrate-N in the nutrient solution by L-glycine and blood meal amino acids. Seeds of the mention...

The free epsilon-amino groups and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) contents were determined in soluble and insoluble proteins of clear human lenses and diabetic and nondiabetic senile cataractous lenses. The free epsilon-amino group content of soluble proteins in diabetic cataracts was decreased by 37% (P less than 0.01), whereas in nondiabetic senile cataracts it did not differ from that of cle...

The cellular RNA content of mouse fibroblasts incubated with actinomycin decreases at a rate of about 1 to 1.5 per cent per hour, while DNA and protein content remain unchanged. This degradation affects nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA, ribosomal and soluble RNA. The breakdown products appear quantitatively in the acid-soluble fraction of the cells and the medium. Polynucleotides synthesized a short...

protein content and its effect on the quality of fresh pastas, obtained from dough preparedwith different formulas: semolina, wheat flour, gluten, wheat bran and soybean proteins, were evaluatedin this paper. tests were carried out in the laboratory using raw materials from the same batch nationalorigin. raw materials were mixed in an auxiliary kneading machine with a 500 g -capacity. the dough...
