The triacylglycerol (TAG) structure and the regio-stereospecific distribution of fatty acids (FA) of seed oils from most of the Apiaceae family are not well documented. The TAG structure ultimately determines the final physical properties of the oils and the position of FAs in the TAG molecule affects the digestion; absorption and metabolism; and physical and technological properties of TAGs. F...

One herbal therapies an alternative choice for sufferers consuming celery. Traditional Chinese people have long used celery to lower pressure. Celery (Apium graveolens) one types therapy as pressure-lowering, it has been proven successful in reducing high pressure beca...

Apiaceae is a major family from Apiales and includes many important vegetable medicinal crops. Heat shock transcription factors (Hsf) play roles in heat tolerance during plant development. Here, we conducted systematic analyses of the Hsf gene three species, including 17 Apium graveolens (celery), 32 Coriandrum sativum (coriander), 14 Daucus carota (carrot). A total 73 genes were identified rep...

Education Centre Founded by Henry Osiecki Pain, as a symptom, is often accompanied by two defining underlying clinical features: inflammation and acidity. When devising strategies for pain management it is essential to target pain, inflammation and acidity as a triad to accomplish an analgesic effect. This is important when managing both acute pain episodes, as well as long-standing chronic pai...

In celery (Apium graveolens L.), the two major translocated carbohydrates are sucrose and the acyclic polyol mannitol. Their metabolism, however, is different and their specific functions are uncertain. To compare their roles in carbon partitioning and sink-source transitions, developmental changes in (14)CO(2) labeling, pool sizes, and key enzyme activities in leaf tissues were examined. The p...
