Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Flax ( L.) Tolerance to Cadmium: A Case Study of Proteome and Metabolome of Four Different Flax Genotypes.

Cadmium is one of the most toxic heavy metal pollutants, and its accumulation in the soil is harmful to agriculture. Plants have a higher cadmium tolerance than animals, and some species can be used for phytoremediation. Flax ( L.

Effect of Lactic Fermentation and Cooking on Nutrient and Mineral Digestibility of Peas.

Peas are prospectively beneficial legumes in the human diet, and especially in a vegan and vegetarian diet, due to their high content of proteins and starch. Their frequent lack of appeal in human nutrition can be caused by their bloating effect and the content of some antinutritional compounds inhibiting the absorption of important nutrients. This study brings a comprehensive comparison of the nutrient content of pea flour after cooking and lactic fermentation before and after digestion .

Response of Normal and Low-Phytate Genotypes of Pea ( L.) on Phosphorus Foliar Fertilization.

Phosphorus (P) is an important nutrient in plant nutrition. Its absorption by plants from the soil is influenced by many factors. Therefore, a foliar application of this nutrient could be utilized for the optimal nutrition state of plants.

Caraway (Carum carvi L.): Anther Culture and Production of DH Plants Caraway.

We describe the production of doubled haploids through anther culture in caraway. Induction conditions for the cultivation of donor plants, anther collection, composition of culture media, and physical induction conditions for embryogenesis have been described. As a result, responsive lines with numerous haploid embryo production were obtained, which after colchicine treatment became fertile.

Application of HPCCC Combined with Polymeric Resins and HPLC for the Separation of Cyclic Lipopeptides Muscotoxins A⁻C and Their Antimicrobial Activity.

Muscotoxins are cyanobacterial cyclic lipopeptides with potential applications in biomedicine and biotechnology. In this study, CCALA125 strain extracts were enriched by polymeric resin treatment, and subjected to HPCCC affording three cyclic lipopeptides (⁻), which were further repurified by semi-preparative HPLC, affording , , and , with a purity of 86%, 92%, and 90%, respectively. The chemical identities of ⁻ were determined as muscotoxins A and B, respectively, by comparison with previously reported ESI-HRMS/MS data, whereas was determined as a novel muscotoxin variant (muscotoxin C) using NMR and ESI-HRMS/MS data.

Beauty will save the world, but will the world save beauty? The case of the highly endangered Vavilovia formosa (Stev.) Fed.

Vavilovia formosa (Stev.) Fed. is a scientifically valuable common ancestor of the plant tribe Fabeae and also important in breeding and agronomy studies of the cultivated Fabeae, but it is close to extinction.
