The present study aimed to evaluate optimize the growth and antibacterial activity of endophytic fungi isolated from Tylophora indica. Based on the morphological and molecular characteristic, the isolate was identified as Fusarium solani. Modified liquid medium (M2D) was used as a basal medium for growth and antibacterial activity. The growth and metabolite production were optimized with 4% dex...

The production of secondary metabolite alkaloids by epichloë endophytes of grasses is of great interest to agriculture due to the opposing effects of pasture protection against insect herbivory and concomitant toxicity to stock. Recent molecular genetic analysis, that has greatly enhanced our understanding of secondary metabolite biosynthesis, is reviewed and potential outcomes for pastoral agr...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi reside in the rhizosphere and form mutualistic associations with plant roots. They promote photosynthesis, improve stress resistance, induce secondary metabolite biosynthesis host medicinal plants. The AM that are symbiotic plants comprise a wide array of species have abundant germplasm resources. Though research on began relatively recently, it has nonetheless...

Abstract Plant quality trait improvement has become a global necessity due to the world overpopulation. In particular, producing crop species with enhanced nutrients and health-promoting compounds is one of main aims current breeding programs. However, breeders traditionally focused on characteristics such as yield or pest resistance, while for quality, which largely depends presence accumulati...

Endocrocin is a simple anthraquinone frequently identified in extracts of numerous fungi. Several biosynthetic schemes for endocrocin synthesis have been hypothesized, but to date, no dedicated secondary metabolite gene cluster that produces this polyketide as its major metabolite has been identified. Here we describe our biosynthetic and regulatory characterization of the endocrocin gene clust...

Abstract Stimulating the production of secondary metabolites by elicitation seems to be an accepted tool in several vitro cultures. In vivo application chemical is, however, much less frequently discussed. The paper summarizes experimental findings on effects jasmonic acid, methyl-jasmonate (MeJa) and salicylic acid (SA) treatments medicinal aromatic plants. Growth behaviour, yield, stress resp...

The application of exogenous jasmonate can stimulate the production ethylene, carotenoids, and aroma compounds accelerate fruit ripening. These alterations improve quality make desirable for human consumption. However, over-ripening results in large losses crops. This problem is overcome by applying 1-methylcyclopropene to fruits, due its capacity block ethylene receptors, suppressing In this s...

acebutolol (ac) is a chiral b-adrenergic blocking drug, which is useful clinically as the racemate in treating hypertension and is metabolized to an equipotent chiral metabolite, diacetolol (dc). in this paper we report a case of a 32 year old woman who was receiving ac during her pregnancy and lactating time for management of hypertension. the maternal plasma level and breast milk as well as c...
