to explore the function of light-harvesting complex protein (lhcp) in arabidopsis growth and development, the leclere and bartel seed collection was screened. in this collection randomly cloned cdnas are expressed under the camv35s promoter. a pale green line has been identified and characterized in more details. analysis of the inserted cdna in the pale green line showed it encodes lhcb1 prote...

The permeability of the Chlorella pyrenoidosa membrane was studied by following the efflux of (14)C-intracellular material from cells which had been allowed to incorporate (14)CO(2) photosynthetically. It was observed that the efflux increased upon treatment with low concentrations (3-30 muM) of 2, 3-dichloro-1, 4-naphthoquinone (dichlone), 2-amino-3-chloro-1, 4-naphthoquinone (06K-quinone), an...

Agricultural food waste is rich in cellulosic and non-cellulosic fermentable substance. In this study, we investigated the bioconversion of pineapple cell wall sugars into bioethanol by simultaneous saccharification fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 4126. Soluble insoluble were during process. Moreover, medium was for protein, moisture, ash, lignin glycerol determinations with a ...

Soluble sugars, especially sucrose, glucose, and fructose, play an obviously central role in plant structure and metabolism at the cellular and whole-organism levels. They are involved in the responses to a number of stresses, and they act as nutrient and metabolite signalling molecules that activate specific or hormone-crosstalk transduction pathways, thus resulting in important modifications ...

Present research work was aimed to observe possible changes in the metabolism of rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) through drought stress. Rice belongs family Poaceae. It is considered as a vital food crop across all major countries worldwide. prone be affected by Therefore, developing tolerant cultivars cereal crops assumed considerable importance. This carried out with an objective study Screenin...

Tolerant rice accessions were identified from a field study involving 196 at Pandit Jawaharlal of Agriculture and Research Institute, Karaikal for yellow stem borer, Scirpophaga incertulas. in along with the susceptible check (TN1) considered analyzing biochemical parameters viz., chlorophyll content, total sugars, reducing phenols, soluble protein, proline. Higher amounts moderate lesser sugar...

objective(s) physiological changes in the body may be utilized as potential triggers for controlled drug delivery. based on these mechanisms, stimulus-responsive drug delivery has been developed. materials and methods in this study, a kind of poly (n-isopropylacrylamide-acrylamide) membrane was prepared by radical copolymerization. changes in swelling ratios and diameters of the membrane were i...

Noninvasive assessment of intestinal permeability in vivo is based on the measurement of urinary excretion of orally administered sugar probes. It is expressed as a ratio, usually lactulose/rhamnose or 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (3-OMG)/rhamnose. In both endotoxemic and control rats that were receiving fluid, we observed an increase in the recovery of lactulose and 3-OMG but not rhamnose in both grou...

Photocatalytic membranes exhibit great potential for water treatment since they combine the filtration and photo degradation in a single unit. Although blending photocatalytic nanoparticles into polymeric thin film remains the simplest method to prepare the photocatalytic membrane, the entrapped photocatalyst showed less catalytic activity due to the agglomeration and shielding effects in the p...
