Background: Root to shoot connection and transfer of information seems to be taken place mostly via the transmissions of signal molecules, secondary metabolites, amino acids, hormones and proteins, through xylem sap. Examination of earlier reports is indicative of relatively high levels of conservation in xylem sap protein compositions. Apparently these protein molecules are be...

It has been shown that chronic exposure to cypermethrin (CPM), a pyrethroid pesticide, results in follicular atresia via pathologically affecting angiogenesis, disrupting endocrine potential and enhancing oxidative stress. This study was aimed to uncover the CPM-exposed energy dependent follicular cells apoptosis and to estimate protective effect of vitamin E (VitE) as a potent antioxidant. Thi...

Biosynthesis A cell-free membrane protein synthesis system (CFMPS) with natural or artificial lipid biomembranes is constructed, to effectively synthesize full-length transmembrane proteins by improving the solubility and assisting active structure formation, as described Yuan Lu co-workers in article number 2300575. The CFMPS can be further extended expand toolbox of biosynthesis, paving way f...

   In recent years, the world has witnessed an explosion of interest in biogenic synthesis of metallic nanoparticles (NPs), using plant extracts; however, the plant constituents involved in this reaction are poorly characterized. Here, major components of Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) leaf extracts were isolated monthly during 2012-2013 and their competences for Ag–...
