This document is aimed to describing the potential benefits of Moringa tree as a nutrient. can be utilized in treating malnutrition local and cost-effective manner. Malnutrition causes great deal human suffering associated with more than half all deaths children worldwide. severely affects socio-economic development nation because work force that stunted both mentally physically may have reduced capacity. Thus nutrition plays an important role reproduction poverty from one generation next....
The involvement of the ascorbate‐glutathione cycle in defence against Cu‐induced oxidative stress was studied roots Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Limburgse vroege. All enzymes this [ascorbate peroxidase (APOD), EC 1.11.1.11; monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), 1.6.5.4; dehydroascorbate (DHAR), 1.8.5.1; glutathione (GR), 1.6.4.2] were increased, and total ascorbate pools rose after a 15 μ M root Cu treatment. In first hours start experiment, accumulation (DHA), formed as result Cu‐mediated...
Abstract Uptake and toxicity of copper chromium were studied in single combined metal treatments the root shoot B. monnieri S. lacustris. Results showed more uptake than shoot.In treatments, Cu was inhibited while that Cr enhanced. Chromium ameliorated treatments. indicated these plants could be used bio‐monitoring abatement pollution closed water bodies.
Fungus-growing termites, like Odontotermes obesus, cultivate Termitomyces as their sole food source on fungus combs which are continuously maintained with foraged plant materials. This necessary augmentation also increases the threat of introducing non-specific fungi capable displacing Termitomyces. The magnitude this and how termites prevent invasion such remain largely unknown. study identifies these by establishing pan-mycobiota O. obesus from comb termite castes. Furthermore, to maximize...
Abstract Maternally inherited endosymbionts of arthropods are one the most abundant and diverse group bacteria. These bacterial also show extensive horizontal transfer to taxonomically unrelated hosts widespread recombination in their genomes. Such transfers can be enhanced when different arthropod come contact like an ecological community. Higher rates increase probability between endosymbionts, as they now share same host cytoplasm. However, reports community‐wide endosymbiont data rare...
ABSTRACT Sexually dimorphic responses to pathogenic infections in animals may stem from sex-specific differences their life history and immune investment. Recent evidence highlights that such variations can also be critically regulated by microbiota. However, direct experiments test how microbiota jointly impacts immunity vulnerability pathogens are still limited. To this end, we used Tenebrio molitor beetles first establish sexes appear differ composition infection responses. Females were...
Maternally inherited endosymbionts are one of the most abundant bacteria infecting arthropods and show extensive horizontal transfer. Such widespread distribution recombination among these could be an outcome transfer as for such genetic exchanges to occur their hosts should come in contact. One level biological organization where different can do that is ecological community. Despite various studies focusing on known model species specific interactions hosts, reports community wide...
