The cabbage maggot, Delia radicum (L.) is an important insect pest of eruciferous crops in upstate New York. This species causes considerable damage to seedlings and young plants by feeding on roots and stems, resulting in plant stand loss and yield loss. Five crucifer accessions (Brassica oleracea variety italica L.,'Green Comet'; B. oleracea L.,'Rapid Cycling' [Crucifer Genetics Cooperative 3...

Psoriasis affects 2-4% of the population worldwide and its treatment is currently far from satisfactory. Calcipotriol and Portulaca oleracea have been reported to exhibit the capacity to inhibit inflammation in psoriatic patients and improve their clinical condition. However, the efficacy of a combination regimen of these two components remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to explo...

Chloroplast simple sequence repeats amplicons in 5 subspecies of Brassica oleracea were sequenced, and one chloroplast SNP was detected in amplicon ACP43. Through the introduction of an RsaI recognition site by adding one mismatch in the forward primer, combined with the increased primer length and raised annealing temperature, the dCAPS (derived cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences) marker ...

In spinach (Spinacea oleracea L.) leaf extracts, three protein kinases (PKI, PKII and PKIII) were identified each of which phosphorylated spinach nitrate reductase on serine-543, and inactivated the enzyme in the presence of nitrate reductase inhibitor, 14-3-3. PKIII was also very active in phosphorylating and inactivating Arabidopsis (Landsberg erecta) 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A red...

conclusions b. oleracea demonstrated similar anti-inflammatory properties to omeprazole in rats with gerd. however, omeprazole also demonstrated genotoxic and cytotoxic effects in rats without gerd. results rats with gerd developed esophagitis and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. b. oleracea and omeprazole-treated gerd rats presented significantly decreased inflammation in relation to non-tr...

Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. conlutinans (Foc) is a serious root-invading and xylem-colonizing fungus that causes yellowing in Brassica oleracea. To comprehensively understand the interaction between F. oxysporum and B. oleracea, composition of the xylem sap proteome of the non-infected and Foc-infected plants was investigated in both resistant and susceptible cultivars using liquid chromatography-...

In the present work, novel nanotool called 'nano-embedded fungus' formed by impact of synergistic association of ZnO-nanorods and fungus Piriformospora indica DSM 11827, for growth of Brassica oleracea var. botrytis (Broccoli) is reported. ZnO-nanorods were synthesized by mechanical assisted thermal decomposition process and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphology, X-...

The two genomes (A and C) of the allopolyploid Brassica napus have been clearly distinguished using genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) despite the fact that the two extant diploids, B. rapa (A, n = 10) and B. oleracea (C, n = 9), representing the progenitor genomes, are closely related. Using DNA from B. oleracea as the probe, with B. rapa DNA and the intergenic spacer of the B. oleracea 45S ...

cheese has high nutritional value in human health although is naturally poor in essential fatty acids. essential fatty acids revealed crucial roles in nutritional diet and have been suggested as disease prevention agent. protulaca oleracea (purslane) has considerable amounts of omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids as well as magnesium, potassium and vitamin c. the aim of this study is production and ch...
