phaseolus leptostachyus/dental caries

The aim was to evaluate the angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory potential and the antioxidant capacity of pure synthesized peptides (GLTSK, LSGNK, GEGSGA, MPACGSS and MTEEY) originally identified in the non-digestible fraction (NDF) of common beans (P. vulgaris L.) that had previously

Conjugal plasmid transfer was examined on the phylloplane of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and related to the spatial distribution pattern and metabolic activity of the bacteria. The donor (Pseudomonas putida KT2442) harbored a derivative of the TOL plasmid, which conferred kanamycin resistance and had

The expression of phytohemagglutinin (PHA) genes was studied in various tissues during the development of the seeds of Phaseolus coccineus cv. Hammond's Dwarf Scarlet by means of northern hybridization and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The expression is highly

BACKGROUND Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common childhood infection caused by bacteria. The pathogenesis of AOM implicates initial adherence of a pathogen to the nasopharyngeal epithelium, which is followed by bacterial colonization of the middle ear cavity through the Eustachian tube.

Fetal rat neocortex grafted into lesion cavities made in the newborn rat neocortex can exchange multiple axonal connections with the host brain. Most previous studies demonstrating efferent transplant-to-host brain connections have used fluorescent retrograde tracers injected into the host brain

When the jelly-less eggs removed from the most cephalic region of the oviduct (pars recta) of the toad Bufo arenarum were inseminated at a high sperm concentration, high frequencies of fertilization were obtained. On the other hand, control eggs removed from the pleuroperitoneal cavity (coelomic

In contrast to animal ferritin, relatively little information is available on phytoferritin. Black bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) has been consumed in many countries. In the present study, new ferritin from black bean seed was purified by two consecutive anion exchange and size exclusion

A spatio-temporal analysis of the differentiation of a group of specialized (secretory) ependymal cells in the subcommissural organ (SCO) of the brain was undertaken in the bovine using a monoclonal antibody (C1B8A8) which is specific of the secretory process in this organ. In addition, lectins

The secretory activity in the subcommissural organ (SCO) of the sheep and cow was examined by means of lectin histochemistry and cytochemistry. Among the various lectins tested. Concanavalin A (Con A) revealed glycoproteins rich in mannosyl residues in the rough endoplasmic reticulum of ependymal

Methods are described for the in vivo production of the nematode Thripinema nicklewoodi (Siddiqi), an obligate parasite and potential biological control agent of western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande). Nematode infection is not lethal but causes sterilization of adult female

Understanding plant adaptation mechanisms to prolonged water immersion provides options for genetic modification of existing crops to create cultivars more tolerant of periodic flooding. An important advancement in understanding flooding adaptation would be to elucidate mechanisms, such as

Fetal cerebral cortical tissue was transplanted into an aspirated lesion cavity made in the sensorimotor cortex of adult rats. Ten weeks after grafting, outgrowing fibers from the graft were visualized by an anterograde tracing technique using Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin (PHA-L). It was

Successful transplantations have been made of cultured explants of human fetal spinal cord into surgically created cavities in the motor cortical area of non-immunosuppressed young adult rats. The cultured cells were marked by brief incubation with Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin (PHA) just prior

Squamous head and neck cancers include cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx are the sixth leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide, resulting in more than 350,000 deaths annually. Intake of fruit and vegetables may protect against head and neck cancer incidence, although few prospective

The goal of the present study was the evaluation of the fatty acid (FA) profile of lipid fraction from dry common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) (CBO) harvested from North-East (NE) and South-West (SW) of Romania and to protect against thermal and oxidative degradation of the contained omega-3 and
