Biochemical markers involved in the horizontal resistance to phytophthora infestans to assist potato breeding programs
(Global Science Book, 2009-12)
Potato Late Blight is the main pathogen, which affect potatoes. Due to unavailability of effective chemical control methods and the intensive use of fungicides, which leads to high environmental and production costs, the ...
Rat ventral prostate microsomal biotransformation of ethanol to acetaldehyde and 1-hydroxyethyl radicals: Its potential contribution to prostate tumor promotion
(Wiley, 2002-05)
Rat ventral prostate microsomal fraction was able to biotransform ethanol to acetaldehyde and 1-hydroxyethyl radicals (1HEt) in the presence of NADPH and oxygen. The enzymatic processes involved were not inhibited by ...
Role of reactive oxygen species and isoflavonoids in soybean resistance to the attack of the southern green stink bug
(PeerJ Inc, 2020-09)
Southern green stink bugs (Nezara viridula L.) are one of the major pests in manysoybean producing areas. They cause a decrease in yield and affect seed quality byreducing viability and vigor. Alterations have been reported ...
Exploring the Diversity and Aromatic Hydrocarbon Degrading Potential of Epiphytic Fungi on Hornbeams from Chronically Polluted Areas
(MDPI, 2021-11)
Plants can ‘catch’ and mitigate airborne pollutants and are assisted by fungi inhabiting their leaves. The structure and function of the fungal communities inhabiting the phyllosphere of hornbeam trees growing in two ...
Proteomic insight on the polychlorinated biphenyl degrading mechanism of Pleurotus pulmonarius LBM 105
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-02)
White-rot fungi are well known bioremediation agents capable of removing recalcitrant xenobiotics. However, the molecular mechanism involved in this process is not well understood. The aim of the present study was to compare ...
Application of edible coatings in minimally processed sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas L.) to prevent enzymatic browning
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2014-03)
Summary: To control browning phenomenon, an edible coating of cassava starch along with ascorbic acid (AA) (combined treatment) was applied to minimally processed sweet potatoes var cv. 'Blanca Correntina'. The samples ...
Transcriptome analysis of mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal soybean plantlets upon infection with Fusarium virguliforme, one causal agent of sudden death syndrome
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-04)
Soilborne pathogens represent a threat to agriculture causing important yield losses. Sudden death syndrome (SDS) of soybean is a severe disease caused by a complex of Fusarium species. This pathosystem has been widely ...
Acetaldehyde content and oxidative stress in the deleterious effects of alcohol drinking on rat uterine horn
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013-11)
After alcohol exposure through a standard Lieber and De Carli diet for 28 days, a severe atrophy in the rat uteirne horn was observed, accompanied by significant alterations in its epithelial cells. Microsomal pathway of ...
Mechanisms of Chromium VI-induced apoptosis in anterior pituitary cells
(Elsevier Ireland, 2008-12)
Hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) is a highly toxic metal. Exposure to Cr (VI) compounds may affect reproductive functions. Due to the importance of anterior pituitary hormones on reproductive physiology we have studied the ...
Effects of quercetin on heart nitric oxide metabolism in L-NAME treated rats
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2018-06)
This study investigated the effects of a quercetin-supplemented diet on the biochemical changes installed in the heart of NO-deficient rats in terms of oxidants production and NO bioavailability determinants. Sprague-Dawley ...
