Salicylic acid (SA), a plant hormone plays an important role in induction of defense against variety biotic and abiotic stresses through morphological, physiological biochemical mechanisms. A series experiments were carried out to evaluate the response chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plants range SA concentrations (1, 1.5, 2 mM). Water treated maintained as control. Activities peroxidase (POD) polyphenol oxidase (PPO) evaluated amounts total phenols, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), proteins...
Oxidative stress has become widely viewed as an underlying condition in diseases such ischemia/reperfusion disorders, central nervous system cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, etc. The role that antioxidants play the process of carcinogenesis recently gained considerable attention. β-Sitosterol, a naturally occurring sterol molecule, is relatively mild to moderate antioxidant and exerts beneficial effects vitro by decreasing level reactive oxygen species. present study evaluated...
Induced defense was studied in three groundnut genotypes ICGV 86699 (resistant), NCAc 343 (resistant) and TMV 2 (susceptible) response to Spodoptera litura infestation jasmonic acid (JA) application. The activity of the oxidative enzymes [peroxidase (POD) polyphenol oxidase (PPO)] amounts other host plant components [total phenols, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), malondialdehyde (MDA), protein content] were recorded at 24, 48, 72 96 h JA pretreated (one day before) plants infested with S. litura,...
IntroductionMicrobial diseases are increasing year by and they becoming a big threat to public health. There more than 200 known transmitted bacteria, fungi, viruses, prions, rickettsia other microbes humans. The emergence of drug resistance chemical drugs is the biggest in controlling human pathogens. Hence novel antimicrobial agents from actinomycetes timely needed for control several
The anticarcinogenic potential of the phytocompound Luteolin-7-O-Glucoside (LUT7G), isolated from leaves Ophiorrhiza mungos Linn, was studied against 4 different cancer cell lines (COLO 320 DM, AGS, MCF-7, and A549) normal VERO line. ability LUT7G to induce apoptosis determined by its antiradical activity, DNA fragmentation, expression β-catenin, chemopreventive efficacy in vivo administering rats with DMH (20 mg/kg b.w., s.c.) for consecutive wk supplementing 3 doses throughout experimental...
To evaluate the ovicidal and oviposition deterrent activities of five medicinal plant extracts namely Aegle marmelos (Linn.), Limonia acidissima Sphaeranthus indicus amaranthoides (burm.f), Chromolaena odorata (Linn.) against Culex quinquefasciatus Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Three solvents, hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol, were used for preparation from each plant. Four different concentrations—62.5 parts per million (ppm), 125 ppm, 250 500 ppm—were prepared using acetone tested activities....
Induced resistance to Helicoverpa armigera through exogenous application of jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic (SA) was studied in groundnut genotypes (ICGV 86699, ICGV 86031, ICG 2271 1697) with different levels insects the susceptible check JL 24 under greenhouse conditions. Activities oxidative enzymes amounts secondary metabolites proteins were quantified at 6 days after JA SA application/insect infestation. Data also recorded on plant damage H. larval weights survival.Higher enzymatic...
