Expression of a Stilbene Synthase Gene from the x L. Hybrid Increases the Resistance of Transgenic L. Plants to .

'Isabel' grape ( x L. hybrid) is one of the main grape cultivars in Russia and some other countries for processing, due to its vigor, tolerance to the main fungal diseases, high yield and potential for sugar accumulation. The stilbene synthase gene was isolated from the hybrid grape cv.

The Native Monomer of Bacillus Pumilus Ribonuclease Does Not Exist Extracellularly.

Supported by crystallography studies, secreted ribonuclease of (binase) has long been considered to be monomeric in form. Recent evidence obtained using native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and size-exclusion chromatography suggests that binase is in fact dimeric. To eliminate ambiguity and contradictions in the data we have measured conformational changes, hypochromic effect, and hydrodynamic radius of binase.

Immunomodulating and Revascularizing Activity of Synergize with Fungicide Activity of Biogenic Peptide Cecropin P1.

Previously transgenic plants producing an antimicrobial peptide cecropin P1 (CecP1) have been reported. Now we report biological testing extracts containing CecP1 as a candidate drug for treatment of wounds infected with The drug constitutes the whole juice from leaves (not ethanol extract) sterilized with nanofiltration. A microbicide activity of CecP1 against an animal fungal pathogen in vivo was demonstrated for the first time.

The role of the persistent enterovirus infection in development of acute stroke.

Introduction: The role of enteroviruses in development of dilated cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction, myocarditis, pericarditis is known.

The Aim: To examine the role of chronic enterovirus infections in development of acute stroke.

Material And Methods: Blood samples from 72 patients with acute stroke (study group) and 35 patients without vascular disease (control group) were investigated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for the presence of enterovirus RNA, by using virological method to detect enteroviruses, by ELISA for the levels of IgM and IgG antibodies to enteroviruses.

Bactericide, Immunomodulating, and Wound Healing Properties of Transgenic Synergize with Antimicrobial Peptide Cecropin P1 In Vivo.

Procedure of manufacturing water extracts containing cecropin P1 (CecP1) from the formerly described transgenic plants is established. It included incubation of leaves at +4°C for 7 days, mechanical homogenization of leaves using water as extraction solvent, and heating at +70°C for inactivating plant enzymes. Yield of CecP1 (after heating and sterilizing filtration) was 0.
