Background & Aim: Lemon verbena (Lippia citriodora H.B.K.) is a richly scented herb and has a long history as a sacred and medicinal plant. Select an appropriate medium in tissue culture is a necessity for success Experimental: To evaluate the effect of 10 medium of previous researches for Lippia micropropagation (1- MS medium supplemented with BAP (3 mgL-1) + IBA ...

Let π be a cusp form on GL(n)/Q , i.e., a cuspidal automophic representation of GL(n,A ), where A denotes the adele ring of Q . We will say that a prime p is a Ramanujan prime for π iff the corresponding πp is tempered. The local component πp will necessarily be unramified for almost all p, determined by an unordered n-tuple {α1,p, α2,p, . . . , αn,p} of non-zero complex numbers, often represen...

Let F be a global field with ring o of integers, and let μn denote the group of n-th roots of unity in F . Let Γ(f) be the principal congruence subgroup of SL3(o) consisting of elements that are congruent to the identity modulo f. The Kubota symbol κ : Γ(f) −→ μn is a character constructed by Bass, Milnor and Serre [1]. We will give a direct construction, obtaining on the way new formulas for t...

This study compared muscle glycogen recovery after depletion of approximately 50 mmol/l (DeltaGly) from normal (Nor) resting levels (63.2 +/- 2.8 mmol/l) with recovery after depletion of approximately 50 mmol/l from a glycogen-loaded (GL) state (99.3 +/- 4.0 mmol/l) in 12 healthy, untrained subjects (5 men, 7 women). To glycogen load, a 7-day carbohydrate-loading protocol increased muscle glyco...

One of the main objectives of the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) collaboration has been to find gravitational lens (GL) systems at radio wavelengths that are suitable for the determination of time delays between image pairs. The survey is now near completion and at least 18 GL systems have been found. Here, I will discuss our efforts to measure time delays from several of these systems with...

Glycolate(GL)-based polyesters were for the first time produced in the recombinant Escherichia coli fatty acid β-oxidation pathway reinforcing mutant LS5218, using extracellularly added GL as a monomer precursor. Cells expressing a Ser325Thr/Gln481Lys mutant of polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase (PhaC1STQK) from Pseudomonas sp. 61-3, propionyl-CoA transferase from Megasphaera elsdenii and enoyl-CoA ...

It is well known that Glucagon (Gl) is released after a high protein diet and participates in water excretion by the kidney, principally after a protein meal. To study this effect in in vitro perfused inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCD), the osmotic water permeability (Pf; mum/s) at 37 degrees C and pH 7.4 in normal rat IMCDs (n = 36) perfused with Ringer/HCO(3) was determined. Gl (10(-7) M...

The extract of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) has been widely used for many centuries in the traditional Chinese medicine as native anti-allergic agent. Glycyrrhizin (GL), a triterpenoid-saponin, extracted from the roots of licorice is the most effective compound for inflammation and allergic diseases in human body. The biological and pharmacological studies revealed that GL possesses many ph...
