Rose-scented geranium (Pelargonium spp.) is one of the most important aromatic plants and well known for its diverse perfumery uses. Its economic importance due to presence fragrance rich essential oil in foliage. The a mixture various volatile phytochemicals which are mainly terpenes (isoprenoids) nature. In this study, on foliage genes related isoprenoid biosynthesis (DXS, DXR HMGR) were isolated, cloned confirmed by sequencing. Further, first gene 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol-4-phosphate (MEP)...
Withania somnifera Dunal, is one of the most commonly used medicinal plant in Ayurvedic and indigenous medicine traditionally owing to its therapeutic potential, because major chemical constituents, withanolides. Withanolide biosynthesis requires activities several enzymes vivo. Cycloartenol synthase (CAS) an important enzyme withanolide biosynthetic pathway, catalyzing cyclization 2, 3 oxidosqualene into cycloartenol. In present study, we have cloned full-length WsCAS from by homology-based...
Ocimum kilimandscharicum is unique in possessing terpenoids whereas other species are renowned for phenylpropanoids as major constituents of essential oil. The key enzyme MVA/terpenoid metabolic pathway viz 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl Co-A reductase (OkHMGR) 1.7-Kb ORF encoding ~60-kDa protein was cloned from O. and its kinetic characteristics revealed the availability HMG-CoA a control point MVA-pathway. Transcript profiling OkHMGR elucidated tissue-specific functions gene flower leaf...
Transcription factors (TFs) are important regulators of cellular and metabolic functions including secondary metabolism. Deep intensive RNA-seq analysis Withania somnifera using transcriptomic databases provided 3532 annotated transcripts transcription in leaf root tissues, belonging to 90 different families with major abundance for WD-repeat (174 165 transcripts) WRKY (93 80 tissues respectively, followed by that MYB, BHLH AP2-ERF. Their detailed comparative Arabidopsis thaliana, Capsicum...
Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) is considered as Rasayana in Indian systems of medicine. This study reports a novel transcriptome W. berries, with high depth, quality and coverage. Assembled annotated transcripts for nearly all genes related the withanolide biosynthetic pathway were obtained. Tissue‐wide gene expression analysis reflected almost similar definitions terpenoid leaf, root berry tissues relatively higher abundance linked to steroid, phenylpropanoid metabolism well flavonoid...
Abstract Since prehistoric times, medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) have been employed for various therapeutic purposes due to their varied array of pharmaceutically relevant bioactive compounds, i.e. secondary metabolites. However, when metabolites are isolated directly from MAPs, there is occasionally very poor yield limited synthesis particular tissues certain developmental stages. Moreover, many MAPs species in danger extinction, especially those used pharmaceuticals, as natural...
This comprehensive review paper critically examines the existing body of research on Particulate Nature Matter (PNM) with a focus identifying misconceptions and alternative frameworks at different academic levels. The studies encompass middle school, senior secondary, higher education levels while also exploring teachers' perspectives PNM. Understanding PNM is crucial for building solid foundation in chemistry concepts, as it involves use atoms, molecules, particles to enhance students'...
In this study, three different composite coatings having Aloe vera gel, viz. 5%, 10% and 15%, carboxymethyl cellulose, peanut oil glycerol monostearate were prepared. The 15% coating had reduced O 2 CO permeability as well water vapour transmission rate higher viscosity. A. was applied on uniform healthy peeled carrots they packed in polyethylene bags. Storage done at room refrigerated temperature. During storage, surface microflora increased while total soluble solids, sugars carotenoids...
