Common flowering quince (FQ) is the fruit of Chaenomeles speciosa (Sweet) Nakai. FQ-containing cocktails have been applied to the treatment of neuralgia, migraine, and depression in traditional Chinese medicine. The present study assessed whether FQ is effective in dopamine transporter (DAT)

CONCLUSIONS Arabidopsis PHS1, initially known as an actor of cytoskeleton organization, is a positive regulator of flowering in the photoperiodic and autonomous pathways by modulating both CO and FLC mRNA levels. Protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation is a major type of post-translational

The amino acid antimetabolite, DL-p-fluorophenylalanine (FPA), inhibited induction of flowering in the short-day cocklebur plant, Xanthium pensylvanicum Wall., primarily by interfering with processes occurring during the inductive dark period. At the concentrations used the inhibitor had little

Phosphorylation by protein tyrosine kinases is crucial to the control of growth and development of multicellular eukaryotes, including humans, and it also seems to play an important role in multicellular prokaryotes. A plant tyrosine-specific kinase has not been identified yet; hence, plants have

A study was done on the effects of various factors on carbohydrate inhibition of flowering and on in vitro activity of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase in Lemna perpusilla 6746 grown on dilute Hutner's medium in short days. Autoclaving decreased the flower inhibitory effect of sucrose but increased

Light controls vegetative and reproductive development of plants. For a plant, sensing the light input properly ensures coordination with the ever-changing environment. Previously, we found that LIGHT-REGULATED WD1 (LWD1) and LWD2 regulate the circadian clock and photoperiodic flowering. Here, we

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are essential growth-promoting hormones that regulate many aspects of plant growth and development. Two leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases (LRR-RLKs) are involved in BR perception and signal transduction: brassinosteroid insensitive 1 (BRI1), which is the BR receptor,

Tyrosine phosphorylation constitutes up to 5% of the total phophoproteome. However, only limited studies are available on protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) that catalyze protein tyrosine phosphorylation in plants. In this study, domain analysis of the 27 annotated PTK genes in rice genome led

The significance of the wide range of phototoxins, occurring in many plant species, with respect to their role in insect herbivory and on insects, is not fully understood. The types of compounds include polyacetylenes, quinones, furanocoumarins, tryptophan- and tyrosine-derived alkaloids and are

The effect of a purified extract of the flowering herb of Fagopyrum esculentum (buckwheat) on various protein kinases involved in signal transduction was examined. We observed that buckwheat contains red fluorescent compounds having photosensitizing properties. Spectrophotometric analysis of the

Three major groups of pigments, the betalains, the carotenoids, and the anthocyanins, are responsible for the attractive natural display of flower colors. Because of the broad distribution of anthocyanins (synthesized as part of the flavonoid pathway) among the flowering plants, their biosynthesis

Rhodomyrtus tomentosa, a flowering plant of Myrtaceae family from southern and southeastern Asia, was known to possess a rich source of structurally diverse and various biological activities. In this study, the inhibitory effect of R. tomentosa fruit extract (RFE) on allergic responses

The present study was aimed to investigate the health of vegetative and reproductive parts of sesame plants during Bacillus methylotrophicus KE2 interaction by their pigments, sugars, organic acid, amino acids, hormones and antioxidant production analysis. In a green-house study, B. methylotrophicus

Ervatamia coronaria, a flowering plant (family Apocynaceae) indigenous to India, has medicinally important applications. A search for biochemical constituents of the latex of the plant yielded at least three thiol proteases with distinctly different properties. One of them, a highly active protease

Bioconversion of recalcitrant keratinous biomass is one of the greatest ways to utilize products of feather hydrolysis and recycle them into bionetwork. Present study revealed 87% degradation of poultry feathers within 48 h in a constructed bioreactor using Chryseobacterium sp. RBT. The resulting
