Kinin requiring tobacco and soybean tissues incubated on a medium containing N,6-benzyladenine-8-C(14) incorporated C(14) into several RNA components including adenylic and guanylic acids. About 15% of the label taken up by the tissues appeared in RNA while the remainder was distributed among several metabolites in the soluble, nonpolynucleotide fraction. Tissue grown on a kinin labeled in the ...

Bioreactors provide suitable conditions for the growth of cells and production secondary metabolites by regulating physical chemical factors. In this study, saffron cell crocin metabolite were evaluated in Erlenmeyer flask a stirred bioreactor. To optimize conditions, effect different concentrations 2-(N-morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid (MES) (0, 2.5 5 mM) as buffering agent sucrose (3%, 6% grad...

Coffee plants can be micropropagated by nodal bud sprouting using the 6-benzylaminopurine (6BA) hormone. However, literature reports the use of a wide range of 6-BA, from 0.5 to 88.8 μM L-1. So, this study was performed to narrow that range. Nodal explants of Coffea arabica cv Mundo Novo obtained from in vitro plantlets were inoculated on gelled-MS medium supplemented with different concentrati...

Cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenases (CKXs) play a critical role in the irreversible degradation of cytokinins, thereby regulating plant growth and development. Brassica napus is one of the most widely cultivated oilseed crops worldwide. With the completion of whole-genome sequencing of B. napus, genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the BnCKX gene family has become technically feas...

Heat stress causes morphological and physiological changes and reduces crop yield in rice (Oryza sativa). To investigate changes in phytohormones and their relationships with yield and other attributes under heat stress, four rice varieties (Nagina22, Huanghuazhan, Liangyoupeijiu, and Shanyou 63) were grown in pots and subjected to three high temperature treatments plus control in temperature-c...

Lopezia racemosa Cav. is a plant used in Mexican traditional medicine to heal inflammatory diseases. From this plant we isolated the novel compound 6-O-palmitoyl- 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosylcampesterol (1) and 6-O-palmitoyl-3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-sitosterol (2), previously reported to have cytotoxic activity on several cancer cell lines. We evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity of 1 in vivo by ...

In the present study, eight kinds plant growth regulators—salicylic acid (SA), 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), gibberellic acid (GA3), 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA), 2, 4-epi-brassinolide (EBR), abscisic acid (ABA), ethephon (ETH), and spermidine (SPD)—were used to investigate the impact on microalgal biomass, lipid, total soluble protein, carotenoids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAS) produ...
