Soil salinity is among the leading environmental stresses affecting global agriculture, causing billions of dollars in crop damages every year. Regardless cause, ion toxicity, water deficit, or nutritional imbalance, high root zone severely impedes normal plant growth and development, resulting reduced productivity failure. Development salt-tolerant cultivars an attractive economical approach to solving this problem. Although several genotypes have been developed through transgenic...
Abstract The purpose of the present study was to explore influences microwave heating on composition sunflower seeds and extend our knowledge concerning changes in oxidative stability, distribution FA, contents tocopherols seed oil. Microwaved ( Helianthus annuus L.) two varieties, KL‐39 FH‐330, were extracted using n ‐hexane. Roasting decreased oil content significantly P <0.05). oilseed residue analysis revealed no fiber, ash, protein that attributable roasting. Analysis oils...
Humans have relied on nature throughout their ages to cater for basic needs including medicines cure a wide spectrum of diseases. Plants formed the basis sophisticated systems traditional medicines. For therapeutic agents many presently known lead compounds are natural products or derivatives. Ethnomedicinal studies play vital role discover new drugs from indigenous medicinal plants. Green pharmaceuticals getting popularity and extraordinary importance because vast opportunities drug...
Background: The metabolism of several trace elements has been reported to alter in diabetes mellitus and these might have specific roles the pathogenesis progress this disease. Objective: aim present study was investigate serum levels copper, zinc, chromium, magnesium manganese type 2 diabetic patients their possible association with age, glycemic status duration diabetes. Methodology: comparative included 116 40 non-diabetic subjects. Fasting plasma glucose HbA1c were determined by oxidase...
The present study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant potential of 11 medicinally or economically important plant materials indigenous Pakistan. were extracted with 80% methanol and examined for their activity under different storage conditions using sunflower soybean oils as oxidation substrates. Preliminary assessment among extracts TLC-test by measuring percent inhibition linoleic acid peroxidation. rhizome Iris germanica, leaves Lawsonia alba, M. oleifera, coffee (Coffee...
Xylanases assume special importance in the paper and pulp industry as they replace toxic chemicals such chlorine dioxide for developing eco-friendly processes.This study evaluated xylanases produced by two fungi, mesophilic fungus Trichoderma harzianum a thermophilic Chaetomium thermophilum.Among polymeric substrates studied xylanase production both birch wood xylan was found to be best inducer of xylanases.Xylanases induction subject glucose repression.Partially purified preparation from T....
Optimum impregnation ratio of rock phosphate (RP) and compost in RP-enriched organic fertilizer, its time rate application to the crop plants affect availability nutrients through process mineralization immobilization.A series pot field experiments were conducted investigate comparative efficacy fertilizer vs. mineral phosphatic on growth, yield nodulation lentil.Optimum RP improve lentil investigated under wire house conditions.The 50:50 seven days before sowing resulted maximum nodulation,...
The recent increase in extensively drug-resistant bacterial pathogens and the associated of morbidity mortality demonstrate immediate need for new antibiotic backbones with novel mechanisms action. Here, we report development PepSAVI-MS pipeline bioactive peptide discovery. This highly versatile platform employs mass spectrometry statistics to identify targets from complex biological samples. We validate use this through successful identification known peptides a botanical species, Viola...
ASTRACT The effect of two anti-oestrogens, 4-OH tamoxifen and ICI 164,384, on growth progesterone receptor (PR) concentration was investigated in the endometrial carcinoma cell line, Ishikawa. Growth stimulation response to antagonized by latter having no agonist when used as a single agent. Similarly, 164,384 oestradiol-stimulated growth. PR significantly increased following treatment with tamoxifen, this being presence 164,384. Oestradiol PR, although lesser extent than did tamoxifen;the...
