Recently, microbe-plant interactions at the above-ground parts have attracted great attention. Here we describe nitrogen metabolism and regulation of autophagy in the methylotrophic yeast Candida boidinii, proliferating and surviving on the leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana. After quantitative analyses of yeast growth on the leaves of A. thaliana with the wild-type and several mutant yeast strains...

this study was conducted to find out the influence of in vitro salinity on growth parameters shoot length, number of leaves, number of new buds, the chlorophyll, chlorosis and necrosis and absorption of sodium, chloride, potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus of pear (pyrus communis cv. dargazi) in vitro propagated shoots. the experiment was conducted as a complete randomized design with 5 salinity...

Background & Aims of the Study: In this research, Long-Term Hydrologic Impact Assessment model is selected for simulation of runoff and NPS pollution. The aim of this study is modeling of non-point source pollution by L-THIA model in Zayandehrood watershed in 2015. Materials & Methods: In this study, analytical survey and investigation of references in the context of libr...

Rhodopseudomonas capsulata bacteria photo-assimilated nitrate under anaerobic condi­ tions, but were incapable of reducing it in the dark. The bacteria utilized dissolved N 2 as nitrogen source, but the growth in the presence of nitrate was 5-fold higher. Nitrite was excreted to the medium, but not stoichiometrically with respect to nitrate consumption. Nitrate reductase is particulate and used...

The levels of several enzymes involved in assimilation of different nitrogen compounds were investigated in Streptomyces clavuligerus in relation to the nitrogen source supplied to the cultures. Threonine dehydratase, serine dehydratase, proline dehydrogenase, histidase and urocanase were not decreased in the presence of ammonium. The latter two enzymes were induced by histidine in the culture ...

garlic, an antioxidant plant, can react with amino groups of proteins to form schiff bases. as diabetes leads to glycation of various proteins and this in turn has some effects on the structure of proteins and biochemical activity of them, the inhibition of this process seems very vital. for several years researchers in this field have done their best to recognize the antidiabetic compounds. th...

conclusions these results indicate that a. kellalensis extracts exert potent anti-rotaviral activity only after viral adsorption. the two extracts from a. kellalensis showed a good selectivity index. also these results suggest that extracts prepared from the flowers of a. kellalensis may be potential anti-rotaviral agents in vivo and be useful in veterinary medicine. background achillea kellale...
