Background: Biochemical variation with respect to fusaric acid (FA) production by various isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (Foc) was not known and the effect FA on pigment dynamics chickpea studied earlier. Methods: The quantity 14 Foc estimated through HPLC. Further, culture filtrate (CF) containing ITCC 7682 7681 plant pigments resistant cv. WR315 susceptible JG 62 under Phytotro...

An improved understanding of the endocannabinoid system has provided new avenues of drug discovery and development toward the management of pain and other behavioral maladies. Exogenous cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptor agonists such as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol are increasingly used for their medicinal actions; however, their utility is constrained by concern regarding abuse-related subjective e...

Plant genetic transformation requires appropriate choice of antibiotics for regeneration of transformed tissues and elimination of Agrobacterium, and minimal concentration of selective agents for the selection of putative transformants during transformation. This study was conducted to examine the effects of three antibiotics (carbenicillin, cefotaxime, and Clavamox) on in vitro plant regenerat...

An efficient in vitro protocol was standardized for Almond (Prunus dulcis) propagation using dormant axillary buds as explants. Explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) and woody plant medium (WPM) supplemented with different concentration/combination(s) of phytohormones. MS basal medium showed lowest shoot induction and took longest duration for shoot initiation. Multiple shoots were...

Obesity is a chronic health condition characterized by the accumulation of excessive body fat which can lead to and exacerbate cardiovascular disease, type-II diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer through systemic inflammation. Unfortunately, visualizing key mediators inflammatory response, such as monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), in selective manner profound cha...

Dog rose (Rosa canina L.) is one of the most important ornamental and medicinal plants which are used as a rootstock for ornamental roses such as Rosa hybrid and Rosa floribunda. In vitro propagation of rose has a very important role in rapid multiplication of species with desirable traits and in production of healthy and d...

global concern of protection of the environment has led to researches on the effects of plants, natural extracts and organic materials to help maintain the postharvest quality of horticultural crops. throughout the present study, the effects of such natural products as: mint, thyme, savory, rosemary extracts, s-carvone, and humic acid on postharvest life of cut rose flowers, and the potential o...

Background & Aims of the Study: The objective of this study was to investigate the seed pre-treatment with salicylic acid (SA) on tolerance and remediation ability of Brassica oleracea var. acephala under lead and zinc stresses. Materials and Methods: Present study was conducted to evaluate phyto-accumulative ability of Brassica oleracea var. acephala in heavy metal concentrat...

Tlhe biosynthetic pathway to chlorophyll a (chl a) is now quite complete in terms of porphyrin intermediates (3, 8). The biosynthetic pathway to protochlorophyll a (Pchl a) is undoubtedly identical with that of chl a to the protochlorophyllide a (Pchlide a) step, however, the sequence of steps from Pchlide a to Pchl a still remains unknown (1, 9). The production of Pchl a by etiolated plants i(...
