Potential Importance of Molybdenum Priming to Metabolism and Nutritive Value of spp. Sprouts.

Molybdenum ions (Mo) can improve plants' nutritional value primarily by enhancing nitrogenous metabolism. In this study, the comparative effects of seed priming using Mo were evaluated among sproutings of species/cultivars, including (CA1), (CA2), and (CA3). Mo impacts on growth, metabolism (e.

Glycoxidative profile of cancer patient serum: A clinical result to associate glycation to cancer.

The influence of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the biological processes contribute to the life-changing complications such as progression of cancer, diabetes and other chronic disorders. The receptor of AGEs while interacting with its ligands causes a never-ending irregularity in the cell-signaling communication. Hence, AGEs are considered as an important link between progression and contribution to cancer.

Production of Plant Secondary Metabolites: Examples, Tips and Suggestions for Biotechnologists.

Plants are sessile organisms and, in order to defend themselves against exogenous (a)biotic constraints, they synthesize an array of secondary metabolites which have important physiological and ecological effects. Plant secondary metabolites can be classified into four major classes: terpenoids, phenolic compounds, alkaloids and sulphur-containing compounds. These phytochemicals can be antimicrobial, act as attractants/repellents, or as deterrents against herbivores.

Auxin-cytokinin synergism for producing genetically stable plants of using shoot tip meristems.

An efficient micropropagation protocol was developed for Linn. using shoot tip meristems derived from a 4-month-old field grown plant. shoot regeneration and proliferation was accomplished on Murashige and Skoogs (MS) semi-solid medium in addition to different doses of cytokinins viz.
