For survival, parasite exerts several lines of defense of which drug neutralization is one of the major phenomena. Lack of phase I cytochrome P450 in some of the nematode render them depend on the phase II detoxification system involving GST as a major detoxifying enzymes. In present study, the
The work presented here deals with the status of glutathione-S-transferase (GST; E.C. 2.5.1.18), the major enzyme of the phase II detoxification pathway, in bovine filarial worms Setaria cervi. GST activity was determined in various subcellular fractions of bovine filarial worms S. cervi (Bubalus
Understanding drought-tolerance mechanisms and identifying genetic dominance are important for crop improvement. Setaria italica, which is extremely drought-tolerant, has been regarded as a model plant for studying stress biology. Moreover, different genotypes of S. italica have evolved various
We aimed to verify whether morphoanatomic alterations occur in response to excess iron, in roots of Setaria parviflora and Paspallum urvillei (Poaceae), and to localize the presence of the sites of iron accumulation. Plants were subjected to 0.009, 1, 2, 4, and 7 mM Fe-EDTA in nutrient solution.
