Severe leaf and stem necrosis symptoms were observed on watermelon seedlings (Citrullus lanatus cv. Euroca) in Adana, Turkey during a warm and humid period in January 2004. Streak-plate isolations were made from leaf and stem lesions on King's medium B. A fluorescent, yellowish mucoid,
In April 2001, necrotic lesions surrounded by thin, water-soaked halos were observed on cotyledons of 12-day-old melon seedlings (Cucumis melo var. reticulatus, cv. Baggio, Calipso, and Proteo) grown in plant beds in an unheated greenhouse located in the Province of Perugia (central Italy). The
This study examined the mechanisms underlying the effects of the vasorelaxation active substance (VAS), dimethyladenosine-5'-L-arabinose, and its partial purification fraction on nitric oxide synthase in improving erectile dysfunction with particular focus on the nitric oxide (NO)-cGMP pathways. Two
In 2006, a disease was observed on two artichoke (Cynara scolymus L. cv. Lardati) fields in Crete, Greece, covering ~2 ha. Symptoms developed after several days of rainy and windy weather and >70% of capitula were affected, resulting in unmarketable produce. Initial symptoms were water-soaked,
Peace lily (Spathiphyllum wallisii Regel) is a popular ornamental potted plant in Argentina. During May of 2008 (austral autumn), necrotic lesions of unknown etiology were observed on S. wallisii in a nursery in Pontevedra (34°45'6″S, 58°42'42″W). Plants first showed water-soaked areas starting from
Cold lesion injury applied to mouse brain and infusion of hyperosmolar L(+) arabinose solution into rat carotid artery were used as extravascular and intravascular insults, respectively, leading to blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption. To study the cellular mechanisms of the BBB opening,
A novel polysaccharide (ILP50-2) was extracted, isolated and purified from the leaves of Ilex latifolia Thunb. Its structure was characterized as a repeating unit consisting of α-L-Araf-(1→, →3)-α-L-Araf-(1→, →5)-α-L-Araf-(1→, →3,5)-α-L-Araf-(1→, →2)-α-L-Rhap-(1→, →2,4)-α-L-Rhap-(1→, β-D-Galp-(1→,
The present investigation focused on the structural events occurring in endothelial cells lining the lumina of brain microvessels in rats subjected to a single intracarotid injection of hypertonic 1.8 M L (+) arabinose solution with or without intravenous injection of horseradish peroxidase. Blood
A new maize disease appeared in the State of Veracruz, Mexico during 2003-2004. Initial symptoms in the leaves were small, white-yellow, watery spots, which coalesced into dry necrotic stripes that were 0.3 wide and 8 cm long. Reddening sometimes developed on these leaves. Stems developed a rot in
We have demonstrated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) obtained from Burkholderia cepacia, an important opportunistic pathogen, has unique characteristics in both structure and activity. One of the structural characteristics is that the B. cepacia LPS has 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose (Ara4N) in its inner
Thymosin alpha-1 (Tα1) has been used as an immune potentiator for treatment of immune deficiency diseases by injection administration. However, injection is inconvenient and may cause many side effects. In order to improve the administration convenience of Tα1, a human Tα1 gene transformed
