Silver nanoparticles (NPs) were rapidly synthesized by treating silver ions with a Capsicum annuum L. extract. The reaction process was simple and convenient to handle, monitored using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). effect of proteins on the formation NPs investigated X-ray photoemission (XPS), electrochemical measurements, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) differential spectrum techniques. morphology crystalline phase determined from transmission electron microscopy (TEM),...
In this study, we describe the synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) different sizes evaluated their antibacterial activity. Particles size morphology were characterized by transmission electron microscopy. Evaluation bacteriostatic effects was performed ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry comet assays. The smaller particle Ag-NPs, value minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) bactericidal concentrations (MBC), indicating greater activity determined generation...
Background— The ECG features of Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) patients with KCNJ2 mutations (ATS1) have not been systematically assessed. This study aimed to define mutation carriers, determine whether characteristic T-U–wave patterns exist, and establish T-U predict the ATS1 genotype. Methods Results— In phase I, evaluation morphology in ECGs 39 carriers identified patterns: prolonged terminal T downslope, wide junction, biphasic enlarged U waves. II, genotype prediction by pattern was...
The influence of nanomaterials on the ecological environment is becoming an increasingly hot research field, and many researchers are exploring mechanisms nanomaterial toxicity microorganisms. Herein, we studied effect two different sizes nanosilver (10 nm 50 nm) soil nitrogen fixation by model bacteria Azotobacter vinelandii. Smaller size AgNPs correlated with higher toxicity, which was evident from reduced cell numbers. Flow cytometry analysis further confirmed this finding, carried out...
Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Las), is one of the most destructive citrus diseases worldwide, yet how Las causes HLB poorly understood. Here we show that a Las-secreted protein, SDE15 (CLIBASIA_04025), suppresses plant immunity and promotes multiplication. Transgenic expression in Duncan grapefruit (Citrus × paradisi) hypersensitive response induced Xanthomonas citri ssp. (Xcc) reduces immunity-related genes. also triggered vesicatoria effector...
Significance Jasmonate (JA) is a plant hormone involved in regulating defense response, growth, and development. A mechanistic understanding of JA signaling has great importance agriculture, especially for enhancing resilience against biotic stresses optimizing growth crop fields. This study reports the crystal structure key protein complex (MYC3–CMID JAZ10 ) desensitization signaling. Desensitization after an effective response necessary to re-establish signal homeostasis prevent from...
Significance Pathogen infections can cause significant crop losses worldwide and major disturbances in natural ecosystems. Understanding the molecular basis of plant disease susceptibility is important for development new strategies to prevent outbreaks. Recent studies have identified jasmonate (JA) hormone receptor as one common targets pathogen virulence factors. In this study, we modified JA showed that transgenic Arabidopsis plants with gained resistance bacterial pathogens secrete a...
Cholesterol homeostasis is maintained through concerted action of the SREBPs and LXRs. Here, we report that RNF145, a previously uncharacterized ER membrane ubiquitin ligase, participates in crosstalk between these critical signaling pathways. RNF145 expression induced response to LXR activation high-cholesterol diet feeding. Transduction into mouse liver inhibits genes involved cholesterol biosynthesis reduces plasma levels. Conversely, acute suppression via shRNA-mediated knockdown, or...
Summary Plants mount coordinated immune responses to defend themselves against pathogens. However, the cellular components required for plant immunity are not fully understood. The jasmonate‐mimicking coronatine ( COR ) toxin produced by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato Pst DC 3000 functions overcome immunity. We previously isolated eight Arabidopsis scord mutants that exhibit increased susceptibility a ‐deficient mutant of 3000. Among them, scord6 exhibits defects both in stomatal closure...
Abstract Abscission is the consequence of a specialized layer cells undergoing complex series molecular and biochemical events. Analysis specific changes associated with abscission hampered by contamination from neighboring nonseparating tissues. Moreover, studies frequently involve examination events that take place in isolated segments tissue exposed to nonphysiological concentrations ethylene or indole-3-acetic acid for protracted periods (more than 24 h) time. To resolve these problems,...
