OBJECTIVE
Hevea brasiliensis extract could potentially be employed as a relatively low cost resource for various anti-fungal activities due to the simplicity of latex preparation and the abundance of latex that can be obtained in rubber producing regions. The present study was aimed at examining the
Antifungal activity of latex from Hevea brasiliensis was observed with various fungi in macrobroth dilution assays. The strongest antifungal effect was obtained with Trichosporon cutaneum (MIC 80% = 40.615 microg protein ml(-1), Kaff = 0.075 microg(-1) protein ml) and Cryptococcus neoformans (MIC
Latex from Hevea brasiliensis and its subcellular fractions (L-serum and C-serum) were tested for antifungal activity alone or in combination with fluconazole. Candida albicans growth was inhibited with the same efficacy when yeasts were inoculated into culture medium supplemented over the total
Banana Fusarium wilt (also known as Panama disease) is one of the most disastrous plant diseases. Effective control methods are still under exploring. The endophytic bacterial strain ITBB B5-1 was isolated from the rubber tree, and identified as Serratia marcescens by morphological, biochemical, and
Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and C. acutatum species complexes are causal agents of Colletotrichum leaf disease (CLD) of rubber trees worldwide. To determine the geographic distribution of Colletotrichum species complexes associated with CLD of rubber trees in Hainan, China, and their sensitivity
The alarming increase in multidrug resistance of pathogenic microorganisms to conventional drugs in recent years has prompted the search for new leads in alternative remedies in natural products. Hence, this study was aimed at evaluating the antimicrobial properties of Phragmanthera capitata, a
Several chitin-binding proteins were isolated from the "bottom fraction" of Hevea brasiliensis (Müll.) Arg. latex. One of these chitin-binding proteins is hevein, a small monomeric protein which strongly resembles the lectin from stinging nettle (Urtica dioica L.). Like the latter, hevein showed
Phytocystatins play multiple roles in plant growth, development and resistance to pests and other environmental stresses. A ramie (Boehmeria nivea L.) phytocystatin gene, designated as BnCPI, was isolated from a ramie cDNA library and its full-length cDNA was obtained by rapid amplification of cDNA
Many cultivated rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) are invaded by various Phytophthora species fungi, especially in tropical regions which result in crop yield losses. Comparative proteome analysis coupled with liquid chromatography electrospray/ionization (LC-ESI) mass spectrometry identification
Hevein, from Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree), was identified in 1960. It is the most abundant soluble protein (22%) found in latex. Hevein is formed from a larger protein called prohevein. The 187 amino-acid prohevein is cleaved into two fragments: the N-terminal 43 amino-acid hevein, a lectin
Yeast abundance and species diversity in the latex of caoutchouc tree Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex Juss.) M611. Arg., on its green leaves, and in soil below the plant Was studied. The yeasts present in the fresh latex in concentrations of up to 5.5 log(CFU/g) were almost exclusively represented by
Prohevein is a wound-induced protein and a main allergen from latex of Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree). This 187 amino-acid protein is cleaved in two fragments: a N-terminal 43 amino-acids called hevein, a lectin bearing a chitin-binding motif with antifungal properties and a C-terminal domain
This study aimed at screen for antimicrobial activity present in the non-rubber constituents of rubber latex of Hevea brasiliensis against various microbial strains. An antimicrobial protein, hevein was extracted from the bottom fraction after centrifugation and purified by acetone fractionation and
Plants express chitinase and chitinase-like proteins (CLPs) belonging to the glycosyl hydrolases of the GH18 and GH19 families, which exhibit varied functions. CLPs in the GH18 family have been structurally and functionally characterized; however, there are no structures available for any member of
Chitinase from the leaves of Simarouba glauca, a plant used in traditional anti-inflammatory therapy is purified and characterized. Peptide mass finger print analysis revealed the protein as an endo-chitinase which was further confirmed using chitin-agar assay. The enzyme exhibited significant
