Direct Organogenesis of Citrus Cultivars from Shoot Tip Nodal Segments.

Background: Citrus cultivar improvement via conventional breeding strategies is impeded by factors related to its reproductive biology. The orange is a hybrid between pomelo () and mandarin (). Among various orange cultivars, Valencia oranges have a bit of bitter tang mixed in with their sweetness, as Navel oranges are, the most widely cultivated citrus species, quite sweeter, and also don't contain any seeds.

Enzymatic Properties of Red Beet ( L.) Leaf, Root Pulp, and Peel.

Background: Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) is botanically classified as a herbaceous biennial belonging to the Chenopodiaceae family and has several varieties with bulb colors ranging from yellow to red. Peroxidases are widely occurring in organisms including microorganisms, plants, and animals, and have been involved in various physiological and biochemical functions.

Physicochemical Properties, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities of Ethiopian Sweet Basil ( L.) Leaf and Flower Oil Extracts.

Background: The occurrence of multidrug resistant pathogenic microbes has initiated the development of natural antimicrobial agents from plants. Oils from herbal sources have drawn scientific interest due to their potential source of bioactive compounds.

Objective: This study was aimed to examine the physicochemical and biological activities including antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of the oil extracted from basil leaves and flowers.

Physicochemical Properties and Biological Activities of Koseret ( Hochst. Var. Koseret) Seed and Leaf Oil Extracts.

Background: Lippia adoensis Hoechst var. adoensis (wild variety) and variety koseret (cultivated variety) have been used as traditional medicine, condiments, and endemic to Ethiopia.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the physicochemical properties and biological activities of oil extracts from seed and leaves of koseret (L.

Physicochemical Properties and Biological Activities of Garlic ( L.) Bulb and Leek ( L. var) Leaf Oil Extracts.

species including garlic and leek exhibits a broad range of medicinal and nutritional properties. Therefore, this study investigates the physicochemical and biological activities of garlic ( L.) and leek ( L.

Physicochemical Properties and Biological Activities of Garden Cress ( L.) Seed and Leaf Oil Extracts.

Garden cress ( L.) seed is a rich source of proteins, dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, and other essential nutrients and phytochemicals. The aim of the present study was to investigate the physicochemical properties and biological activities of garden cress () seed and leaf oil extracts using solvent extraction methods.

Molecular mechanisms and biochemical analysis of fluorene degradation by the sp. SMT-1 strain.

Fluorene is a harmful organic toxicant extensively disseminated in the water and dry land ecosystem. Its toxicity and ubiquitous presence pose issues concerning its biodegradation. Characterization of the molecular mechanisms of fluorene degradation, detection of metabolites, and appraisal of its viability in toxicant removal by the SMT-1 sp.

Characterization of physico-chemical properties and antioxidant activity of oil from seed, leaf and stem of purslane L.

Purslane L is a member of the family of portulacaceae and is a very good source of alpha-linoleic acid. Alpha-linoleic is an omega-3 fatty acid which plays an important role in human growth, development and in preventing diseases. Characterization of the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of oil from seeds, leaves and stems of purslane, and appraisal of its viability is the main purpose of this study.

Isolation, Characterization, and Genomic Analysis of sp. Strain SMT-1, an Efficient Fluorene-Degrading Bacterium.

Comprehensive study of novel microbial organisms capable of degrading fluorene is crucial to develop essential strategies for further application on enhanced bioremediation technologies. Many fluorene-degrading bacteria have been studied; however, little information about the genome sequences of these organisms, which would facilitate investigation of the molecular mechanisms of fluorene degradation, is available. In this study, a bacterial strain designated SMT-1, which uses fluorene as its sole carbon source, was isolated from Laogang landfill in Shanghai, People's Republic of China, and identified as a sp.
