In the present study, amaranth, which is a very important azo dye used in food, drug, paper, cosmetic and textile industries, was evaluated for its genotoxic potential by plant model organism Triticum aestivum (wheat). The impacts of salicylic acid on damage, alterations DNA methylation due to amaranth stress L. were also investigated. marker techniques Inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorph...

2 Summary Stem cells are specialized progenitor cells that have the ability to develop into different somatic cell types in the body. Among the different stem cells, embryonic stem (ES) cells are considered the most pluripotent as they have the potential to form every cell type, including other somatic stem cells. ES cells also possess the capability for extensive self-renewing division in cult...

Stem cells and their descendents are the building blocks of life. How stem cell populations guarantee their maintenance and/or self-renewal, and how individual stem cells decide to transit from one cell stage to another to generate different cell types are long-standing and fascinating questions in the field. Here, we review the discussions that took place at a recent EMBO conference in Cambrid...

The presented work deals with possibilities in isolating amaranth protein. A biochemical procedure was chosen, consisting in employing enzymes acting specifically on protein degradation. Experiments were executed through two-level factor tests, and the influences under study were those of enzymatic hydrolysis duration (1 and 5 h) and temperature (30 and 50 oC) on efficiency of protein hydrolysi...

Cereals are an important part of diets for hypercholesterolemic patients. The scientists at Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Faculty of Human Nutrition at Warsaw and others at Israel evaluated Oat and Amaranth meals effect on plasma lipid profile in rats fed cholesterolcontaining diets. The purpose of the study was to compare oatmeal (Avena sativa Linn.) with two samples of amaranth (Amaranth...

Abstrak. Teki memiliki potensi sebagai bioherbisida karena dapat menghambat perkecambahan dan perkembangan tanaman. Pelarut merupakan unsur penting dalam siklus ekstraksi suatu senyawa, pelarut akan mengeluarkan senyawa sesuai fungsinya. Dalam penelitian ini, etil asetat digunakan bersifat semi polar, artinya menarik campuran polar non tingkat bahaya yang rendah volatil sehingga lebih berpeluan...

Allelopathy offers potential for weed control through the production and release of allelochemicals from leaves, flowers, seeds, stems and roots.  In this research, allelopathy potentials of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Vinca rosea L. leaves were evaluated. Three extract concentrations, including 2.5, 5 and 10% (w/v) of both aqueous and ethanolic were prepared from a 10% w/v stock solution...

Thirty-seven commercial aldehydes containing aliphatic chains and aromatic rings as well as heteroaromatic rings were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against Chinese amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor L.) and barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv). Polysorbate 80 (Tween® 80) was used as a surfactant and the research was preliminarily conducted at 400 μM of all aldehydes. Among t...

Field and greenhouse studies were conducted to investigate the compatibility of MSMA in a tank mixture with glyphosate or glufosinate for broadleaf and grass weed control. Glyphosate, glufosinate, and MSMA were evaluated at 0.53, 13, and 23 rates, with 13 rates of 0.84 kg ae/ha, 0.5 kg ai/ha, and 2.2 kg ai/ha, respectively. Glyphosate and glufosinate provided similar levels of control for most ...

The identification of multipotential mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from adult human tissues such as bone marrow and connective tissues has provided exciting prospects for cell-based tissue engineering and regeneration. This review article focuses on the biology of MSCs, their differentiation potentials in vitro and in vivo, and their application in tissue engineering...
