The estimation of carbohydrates plays an important part in both pure and applied plant physiology. While satisfactory methods of extracting and determining the individual types of carbohydrates are available, the complete fractionation of these is a tedious process. Furthermore, for many purposes of a more applied nature the determination of the total available carbohydrate content is of greate...

Labeling an antibody site specifically through its carbohydrate residues preserves more of its antigen-binding activity than does labeling through protein moieties. To boost the amount of immunoglobulin G carbohydrate capable of being labeled, we treated hybridoma cells with a mannosidase inhibitor, deoxymannojirimycin (dMM). Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed formation of a glycoprotein...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Differential responses of closely related species to submergence can provide insight into the evolution and mechanisms of submergence tolerance. Several traits of two wetland species from habitats with contrasting flooding regimes, Rorippa amphibia and Rorippa sylvestris, as well as F(1) hybrid Rorippa × anceps were analysed to unravel mechanisms underlying submergence toler...

in order to study the effect of drought stress and harvesting stages on quantitative and qualitative yields of coriander (coriandrum sativum l.) this experiment was conducted on split plot based on a randomized completely block design with 3 replications in torbat-e heydariyeh university, iran, during growing season of 2010-2011. treatments were drought stress (in three levels no stress: contro...
