First attempts to discriminate between tapping panel dryness (TPD) and bark necrosis (BN), two Hevea sp. bark diseases leading to the cessation of latex production, showed differences in latex biochemical characteristics (1). Further, contrary to TPD, BN is characterized by inner phloem necrosis
A number of enzyme/prodrug activation approaches for the treatment of cancer have been reported to date with varying success. We describe progress in the development of a system based on a beta-glucosidase enzyme in combination with a naturally occurring "prodrug," the sugar linamarin, which
Autophagy is mainly a cellular recycling process that promotes survival, but it can also cause cell death if cell injury persists. The role of mitophagy in tumorigenesis remains uncertain. Other cell death types, such as apoptosis or necrosis, are often altered during tumor development and therefore
