Summary Root responses to lack of iron ( F e) have mainly been studied in nutrient solution experiments devoid silicon S i). Here we investigated how i ameliorates e deficiency cucumber C ucumis sativus ) with focus on the storage and utilization root apoplast. A combined approach was performed including analyses apoplastic e, reduction‐based acquisition e‐mobilizing compounds roots along expression related genes. i‐treated plants accumulated higher concentrations which rapidly decreased...
This work was focused on the role of silicon (Si) in amelioration manganese (Mn) toxicity caused by elevated production hydroxyl radicals (·OH) leaf apoplast cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). The plants were grown nutrient solutions with adequate (0.5 μM) or excessive (100 Mn concentrations without Si being supplied. symptoms absent leaves Si-treated subjected to excess Mn, although concentration remained extremely high. apoplastic free Mn(2+) and H(2)O(2) high Mn-treated significantly...
Summary The content of tocopherols, B vitamins, as well free soluble, soluble conjugated and insoluble bound phenolic compounds was determined in untreated, steeped sprouted wheat grains. Antioxidant capacity whole grains their fractions also evaluated. Sprouting significantly increased the levels niacin, riboflavin, improving nutritional value antioxidant grains/flour. After sprouting for 5 days, total phenolics, flavonoids ferulic acid calculated sum its by 9.9, 30.7 21.6%, respectively....
The causal relationship between salinity and oxidative stress tolerance is well established, but specific downstream targets the role of antioxidant compounds in controlling cellular ionic homeostasis remains elusive. In this work, we have compared profiles leaves two quinoa genotypes contrasting their salt tolerance, with aim understanding enzymatic non-enzymatic antioxidants tolerance. Only changes superoxide dismutase activity were correlated plant adaptive responses to salinity. Proline...
Abstract Cucumber plants ( Cucumis sativus L. cv. Chinese long) were grown in nutrient solution with increasing manganese (Mn) concentrations (0.5, 50, and 100 µM) (+Si) or without silicon (–Si) supplied as silicic acid at 1.5 mM. High external Mn supply induced both growth inhibition of the whole plant appearance Mn‐toxicity symptoms leaves. The application Si alleviated toxicity by biomass production. Although total concentration leaves did not differ significantly between +Si –Si plants,...
ABSTRACT Content of individual sugars, organic acids, total phenolics (TPH), some important phenolic compounds (kaempferol, myricetin, quercetin, and ellagic acid) antioxidant capacity (TAC) in the fruits strawberry, raspberry blackberry were studied. A comparison was made between cultivars wild relatives each species ( Fragaria vesca L., Rubus idaeus L. fruticosus L.). The main sugars found fructose glucose both studied cultivars. Citric acid determined to be major most tested berries with...
The hydroxyl radical produced in the apoplast has been demonstrated to facilitate cell wall loosening during elongation. Cell wall-bound peroxidases (PODs) have implicated formation. For this mechanism, or walls should contain electron donors for (i) H2O2 formation from dioxygen; and (ii) POD-catalyzed reduction of radical. aim work was identify these reactions. In report, (·OH) generation isolated pea roots detected absence any exogenous reductants, suggesting that plant possesses capacity...
Anticancer activities of various extracts the medicinal mushroom, Ganoderma lucidum, have been widely demonstrated and are mainly associated with presence different bioactive polysaccharides triterpenoids. We evaluated compared in vitro vivo antitumor effects two preparations from lucidum: a methanol extract containing total terpenoids (GLme) purified acidic (GLpme). Both inhibited tumor growth B16 mouse melanoma cells inoculated subcutaneously into syngeneic C57BL/6 mice reduced viability...
The usage of photoselective anti-hail nets is a modern approach to protect crops from adverse climatic factors with additional beneficial effects on orchard performance. Therefore, this study explored the impact (blue, red, pearl, and yellow net) black net microclimate, plant growth, yield, ripening time, fruit quality attributes blueberry cultivar ‘Duke’. Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density values were elevated under pearl in both years studied. Average daily air temperatures did not differ...
Kombucha is a traditional beverage obtained by fermenting sweetened black tea with fungus, which represents consortium of acetic acid bacteria and yeasts. Also, CoffeeBerry? products, derived from the whole fruit coffee plant, are valuable ingredients nutritional health-enhancing potential. Samples fermentation broths enriched extract were analysed. The was performed in bioreactor at 28?1?C for nine days. results showed that has contributed to faster cultivation medium. Some individual...
Efforts to breed salt tolerant crops could benefit from investigating previously unexplored traits. One of them is a tissue succulency. In this work, we have undertaken an electrophysiological and biochemical comparison properties mesophyll storage parenchyma leaf tissues succulent halophyte species Carpobrotus rosii ("pigface"). We show that cells C. rossii act as Na+ sink possessed both higher sequestration (298 vs. 215 mM NaCl in mesophyll) better K+ retention ability. The latter traits...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the biochemical composition six berry types belonging Fragaria, Rubus, Vaccinium and Ribes genus. Fruit samples were collected in triplicate (50 fruit each) from 18 different species or cultivars mentioned genera, during three years (2008 2010). Content individual sugars, organic acids, flavonols, phenolic acids determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis, while total phenolics (TPC) antioxidant capacity (TAC), using...
