In plant cells, ascorbate is a major antioxidant that is involved in the ascorbate-glutathione cycle. Monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDAR) is the enzymatic component of this cycle involved in the regeneration of reduced ascorbate. The identification of the intron-exon organization and the promoter region of the pea (Pisum sativum) MDAR 1 gene was achieved in pea leaves using the method of walk...

The d-glyceraldehyde 3-P dehydrogenases of spinach leaf, pea seed, and pea shoot were purified. The NADP and NAD-linked enzymes of either spinach leaves and pea shoots could not be separated. Changes in the ratio of NADP- to NAD-linked activity of the spinach leaf and pea shoot enzymes were observed during both purification and storage of crude extracts. The spinach leaf, pea shoot, and pea see...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the gold standard for treating chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in Western countries. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term outcomes of performing PEA on CTEPH patients in comparison with medical therapy at a single Korean center. METHODS This retrospective study included 88 CTEPH patients. These patients ...

Abstract Pea (Pisum sativum) was chosen as the research material by Gregor Mendel to discover laws of inheritance. Out seven traits studied Mendel, genes controlling three including pod shape, color, and flower position have not been identified date. With aim identifying genomic region we determined genome sequence a pea line with yellow pods. Genome reads obtained using Nanopore sequencing tec...

Background: Garden pea (Pisum sativum L. var. hortense) belongs to family leguminosae is an important legume vegetable grown throughout the world during cool season. It self pollinated pulse crop with chromosome number 2n = 2x 14. Based on genetic diversity its primary centre of origin Mediterranean region. used as fresh and processed frozen in India abroad. good source vegetarian protein (6.8%...

Some growth parameters of pea (cv. Pleven 4) and vetch (cv. Obrazets 666) after treatment with organic fertilizer were studied in a field trial carried out at the Institute of Forage Crops, Pleven, Bulgaria. Humustim as organic fertilizer was applied through presowing treatment of seeds, treatment during vegetation and combination between both, at different doses. Ratios of aboveground weight t...

First published June 16, 2009; doi:10.1152/ajpendo.00228.2009.—PED/ PEA-15 is a 15-kDa ubiquitously expressed protein implicated in a number of fundamental cellular functions, including apoptosis, proliferation,...

Phosphoprotein enriched in astrocytes-15 (PEA-15) is a cytoplasmic protein that sits at an important junction in intracellular signalling and can regulate diverse cellular processes, such as proliferation and apoptosis, dependent upon stimulation. Regulation of these processes occurs by virtue of the unique interaction of PEA-15 with other signalling proteins. PEA-15 acts as a cytoplasmic tethe...

BACKGROUND Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the treatment of choice in surgically accessible chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). An important predictor of outcome is postsurgical residual pulmonary hypertension. OBJECTIVE We aimed to use the hemodynamic response during exercise before PEA as a measurement for the hemodynamic outcome 1 year after PEA. METHODS Between Janu...
