Wheat hybrid necrosis has been genetically characterised for many years, but the specific gene(s) and the protein products involved in the processes remains unknown. In this study, protein expression in the base (B), mid (M) and tip (T) segments of the FL-2 leaves of a necrotic hybrid, PZF1 and its
Upon biological screening of a series of African medicinal plants, substantial phytotoxic activity was found in the leaves of Laggera decurrens (Vahl.) Hepper & Wood (Asteraceae), using a Lemna minor bioassay. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the leaves led to the isolation of two physiologically
Leaves of symptomless Fragaria ananassa Duch cv. Cacanská raná were grafted onto Fragaria vesca indicator clones. Thirty-five of 72 grafted indicator plants developed leaf mottle symptoms. Isometric virus-like particles were observed in purified preparations from symptomatic leaves of F. vesca. The
Sodium salicylate reduced both the size and viral antigen content of non-self-limiting necrotic lesions produced by tobacco necrosis virus (TNV) in detached tobacco leaves during the partly localized reaction to virus. The antiviral effect of salicylate occurred at concentrations close to the limits
A new iridoid glycoside, citrifoside (1), and a new anthraquinone, 1,5,15-trimethylmorindol (2), together with 24 known compounds, were isolated from the leaves of Morinda citrifolia. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectral data. 1,5,15-Trimethylmorindol (2) did not show
Eugenia dysenterica ex DC Mart. (Myrtaceae), popularly known as "cagaita," is a Brazilian plant rich in polyphenols and other antioxidant compounds. Aiming to evaluate the potential use of cagaita in pathologies involving oxidative stress, such as neurodegenerative disorders, this study investigated
The fate of plastid DNA (ptDNA) during leaf development has become a matter of contention. Reports on little change in ptDNA copy number per cell contrast with claims of complete or nearly complete DNA loss already in mature leaves. We employed high-resolution fluorescence microscopy, transmission
BACKGROUND
The parts of the Genipa americana (Rubiaceae) tree, also known as "jenipapo" or "jenipapeiro", has been used in traditional Medicine in parasitic and bacterial infections. Thus, the experimental evolution of the antiparasitic activity of polysaccharide extracts from Genipa americana
Cell death has long been defined using morphological criteria. A first important concept, "necrosis", was early identified by Areteo from Cappadocia and by Galen. The term apoptosis was introduced by Kerr in 1972 to indicate a particular form of death in which cells commit suicide by chopping
ABSTRACT Colletotrichum dematium, the causal agent of mulberry anthracnose, was examined to produce phytotoxins in vitro and in planta. Raw and autoclaved mulberry leaves infected with the fungus, as well as the fungus incubated with several solid or liquid media, were extracted with acetone.
An investigation of chloride accumulation and distribution in unifoliate leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris following supra-acute exposures to gaseous hydrogen chloride (HCl) was conducted. Plants which were 8-22 days old (post-seeding) were exposed for 20 min to HCl gas in concentrations ranging from
Zinnia elegans Jacq. plants are infected by a fungus that causes dark red spots with necrosis on leaves, particularly in late spring to the middle of summer in the Mid-South of the United States. This fungal disease causes the leaves to wilt and eventually kills the plant. The fungus was isolated,
(125)I-Labeled ethylene biosynthesis-inducing xylanase (EIX) was used to study the movement of this protein in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) tissues. A biologically active (125)I-labeled EIX was obtained using chloramine-T as the oxidizing agent. Labeled EIX was detected in the far most edges of the
The leaves of Hancornia speciosa Gomes (Apocynaceae), a medicinal species found in the Brazilian cerrado biome, are traditionally used to treat wounds and inflammatory disorders. The goal of the present study was to investigate the in vitro wound healing properties of ethanolic extract of H.
Since the aetiology of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BHP) is still unknown, the use of medicinal herb extracts and products prepared thereof are recommended due to their antimicrobial activity, especially during early stages of BHP. A comparison was performed of the in vitro antimicrobial activity
