Faba bean plants (Vicia faba) showed remarkable resistant to wilt disease caused by Fusarium solani pv. Phaseoli when watered with a mixture of heavy metal at a concentration 10mg/L. However the use of Zn, Pb alone slightly increases the susceptibility of bean plants to Fusarium wilt. Plants exposed to Cd or Cu treatment accelerate the symptoms appearance in infected plant. The toxicity of a si...

Nucleoside analogs (NAs) are an important class of anti-retroviral compounds used against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We have analyzed the potential effect of polyamines on the incorporation of NAs during DNA synthesis by HIV type-1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT). The polyamines exert the ability to decrease the incorporation of various dideoxynucleoside triphosphates (ddATP, ddTTP ...

Putrescine and spermidine were the dominant polyamines in Tetrahymena cells. Spermine was present only in very small amounts. Changes in the amount of putrescine during and after the synchronizing heat treatment followed a definite quantitative pattern. Changes in the amount of spermidine were similar, though not so pronounced. The changes may be due to a varied influx of polyamines into the ce...
