Handling culture medium composition for optimizing plant cell suspension culture in shake flasks
(2018-04-01)
This work aimed to optimize statistically the culture medium composition for cell plant suspension culture using as a model Capsicum baccatum L. var. pendulum cells. The cell growth was maximized as well as the secondary ...
The targeting of starch binding domains from starch synthase III to the cell wall alters cell wall composition and properties
(Springer, 2016-10)
The plant cell wall, which represents a major source of biomass for biofuel production, is composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses, pectins and lignin. A potential biotechnological target for improving the production of ...
The participation of singlet oxygen in a photocitotoxicity of extract from amazon plant to cancer cells
(2017-01-01)
We have been searching for new photosensitizers (PS) for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer based on extracts from Amazonian plants since 2009. In this paper, we demonstrate that, under certain conditions, the extract ...
Cell cultures of Maytenus ilicifolia Mart. are richer sources of quinone-methide triterpenoids than plant roots in natura
(Springer, 2014-07-01)
The quinone-methide triterpenoids (QMTs) are chemotaxonomic markers of the family Celastraceae and many compounds of this class possess important anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities. However, the levels of QMTs in ...
Cell autoaggregation, biofilm formation, and plant attachment in a sinorhizobium meliloti lpsB mutant
(American Phytopathological Society, 2018-10)
Bacterial surface molecules are crucial for the establishment of a successful rhizobia-legume symbiosis, and, in most bacteria, are also critical for adherence properties, surface colonization, and as a barrier for defense. ...
