We have generated a series of plectin deletion and mutagenized cDNA constructs to dissect the functional sequences that mediate plectin's interaction with intermediate filament (IF) networks, scored their ability coalign or disrupt filaments when ectopically expressed in rat kangaroo PtK2 cells. show stretch approximately 50 amino acid residues within carboxy-terminal repeat 5 domain serves as unique binding site for both vimentin cytokeratin IF networks Part IF-binding was found constitute...
This review attempts to portray the discovery and development of anticancer agents/drugs from diverse natural sources. Natural molecules these sources including plants, microbes marine organisms have been basis treatment human diseases since ancient times. Compounds derived nature important new drugs also serve as templates for synthetic modification. Many successful anti-cancer currently in use are naturally or their analogues many more under clinical trials. aims highlight invaluable role...
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is an important legume crop that recognized for its adaptability to diverse climates and nutritional value. In Jammu Kashmir, however, genetic diversity limited, hindering full yield potential. This study aimed characterize 72 cowpea genotypes from various regions of Kashmir through Distinctness, Uniformity, Stability (DUS) characterization. Twenty-four agro-morphological traits were assessed following the guidelines Protection Plant Varieties Farmers'...
This review surveys the diversity of natural products (NPs) derived from terrestrial plants, micro-organisms, marine organisms and fungi used in treatment various diseases. A wide spectrum compounds these sources has been found to have many applications fields medicine, pharmacy, general biology. The enormous structural NPs their medicinal significance led researchers predict that screening resources will generate new 'lead' compounds. It is well established analogs with greater...
Brassinosteroids (BRs) and polyamines, well-established growth regulators, play a key role in abiotic stress response plants. In the present study, we examined of 24-epibrassinolide (EBL, an active BR) and/or putrescine (Put) salt-induced cucumber. The 15-d-old plants were exposed to 100 mM NaCl they subsequently treated by exogenous EBL Put. salt reduced significantly plant gas-exchange parameters, increased proline content electrolyte leakage leaves. Toxic effects induced completely...
Among the heavy metal poisonings, lead is considered as a major toxic causing hematological, neurological, immunological, hepatic, and renal dysfunctions. Lead causes inhibition of ALAD leading to ALA accumulation inside cells. also leads disruption anti-oxidative enzyme system, organ function, lipid membranes cell oxidative stress. Zingerone, phenolic alkanone, an active edible ingredient present in ginger that possess varied pharmacological properties. The aim our study was evaluate...
Bu4NI-catalyzed regioselective N2-methylation, N2-alkylation, and N2-arylation of tetrazoles have been achieved using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the methyl source, alkyl diacyl peroxides primary peresters secondary tertiary sources, aryl arylating source. These reactions proceed without pre-functionalization tetrazole in absence any metal catalysts. Here, serve dual role oxidants well alkylating or agents. Based on DFT calculations, it was found that spin density, transition-state...
The present experiment was conducted to evaluate salt tolerance in varieties of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea). Sterilized seeds were grown under natural environment pots containing soil amended with 1.4 (control), 2.8, 4.2 and 5.6 dSm−1 NaCl sampled at 30 days after sowing. Growth recorded terms length, fresh mass, dry mass leaf area plants, which drastically reduced Chapka Rohini, while there little effect treatment on Varuna. In a rise the level proline observed followed decline protein...
Abstract An iron(III)‐catalyzed C‐3 functionalization of flavones has been achieved using tert ‐butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB)/potassium persulphate (K 2 S O 8 ) oxidant combinations with a suitable solvent. In the presence iron(III)/ peroxybenzoate/potassium persulphate, reaction in cycloalkanes afforded exclusive cycloalkylation via C –C coupling, whereas solvent N , ‐dialkylformamide provided amidation coupling. Under identical conditions just by switching to chlorobenzene, methylated were...
Abstract: Biologically active secondary metabolites, essential oils, and volatile compounds derived from medicinal aromatic plants play a crucial role in promoting human health. Within the large family Asteraceae, genus Artemisia consists of approximately 500 species. species have rich history traditional medicine worldwide, offering remedies for wide range ailments, such as malaria, jaundice, toothache, gastrointestinal problems, wounds, inflammatory diseases, diarrhoea, menstrual pains,...
Abstract tert ‐Butyl nitrite (TBN) reacts differently with various internal alkenes leading to interesting and useful products. Synthesis of 1,2,5‐oxadiazole‐ N ‐oxides (furoxans) has been achieved from using ‐butyl (TBN), quinoline K 2 S O 8 . Under an identical reaction condition α,β‐unsaturated carboxylic acids cyclic acyclic both afforded nitroalkenes as the sole product via decarboxylative direct nitration path respectively. magnified image
Pervasive use of chlorpyrifos (CP), an organophosphorus pesticide, has been proven to be fatal for plant growth, especially at higher concentrations. CP poisoning leads growth inhibition, chlorosis, browning roots and lipid protein degradation, along with membrane dysfunction nuclear damage. Plants form a linking bridge between the underground above-ground communities escape from unfavourable conditions. Association beneficial rhizobacteria promotes development plants. Plant hormones are...
Adaptation to changing environmental conditions is a driver of plant diversification. Elevational gradients offer unique opportunity for investigating adaptation range climatic conditions. The use specialized metabolites as volatile and phenolic compounds major in plants, affecting their reproductive success survival by attracting pollinators protecting themselves from herbivores other stressors. wormseed Artemisia brevifolia can be found across multiple elevations the Western Himalayas,...
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important legume crop valued for its nutritional richness, versatility, and contribution to sustainable agriculture. However, in Jammu Kashmir, limited genetic diversity poses challenges achieving full yield potential climatic adaptability. This study characterized 75 common germplasm lines, collected from various regions of through Distinctness, Uniformity, Stability (DUS) testing following the Protection Plant Varieties Farmers’ Rights Authority...
Abstract: Tinospora cordifolia, commonly known as Guduchi, Giloy, or Amrita, has been a cornerstone of traditional medicine for centuries and is renowned its diverse nutraceutical medicinal potential. The plant exhibits immunomodulatory, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral activities due to rich array bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, diterpenoid lactones, polysaccharides, others. These properties make Giloy promising candidate variety therapeutic applications. Further,...
The present study was conducted to evaluate salt tolerance in seven different pure-line cultivars of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) viz. K-21, Pusa Ruby, Gorav, Hera research, Selection N5, PKM-1 and S-22 based on several physiological biochemical traits. Seedlings were transplanted the pots, being exposed salinity levels form NaCl (0, 50, 100, or 150 mM) at a 35-day stage growth for six days. plants stress presented significant decline growth, photosynthetic parameters, maximum quantum...
