Phytohormone-induced changes in growth, physiology, and biochemistry of Aurantiochytrium sp. for sustainable bioproduction.

The study aimed to assess the effects of nine combinations of phytohormones, salicylic acid (SA), gibberellic acid (GA), and jasmonic acid (JA) on the growth, physiology, and biochemistry of Aurantiochytrium sp. Parameters like optical density (OD), biomass, protein content, hydrogen peroxide (HO), malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase activity (CAT), and gene expression (malic enzyme (ME) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)) were assessed at various cultivation stages (24, 48, 72, and 96 h). The research also analyzed fatty acid composition, unsaturated fatty acids (UFA), saturated fatty acids (SFA), and the UFA to SFA ratio (USS) to understand the biochemical changes induced by phytohormones.

Cytotoxicity of alkaloids isolated from Peganum harmala seeds on HCT116 human colon cancer cells.

Background: The present study aimed to elucidate the potential anticancer activity and mechanism of P. harmala's alkaloid extract, harmine (HAR), and harmaline (HAL) in HCT-116 colorectal cancer cells.

Methods And Results: P.

Proteome Changes in Stem Tissues of Sunflower Lines Inoculated with Culture Filtrate of .

Background: (Lib.) de Bary cause a deleterious disease on sunflower plants. Oxalic acid is the main pathogenicity factor of .

Phenological, morpho-physiological and proteomic responses of Triticum boeoticum to drought stress.

Drought is the most important abiotic stress limiting wheat production worldwide. Triticum boeoticum, as wild wheat, is a rich gene pool for breeding for drought stress tolerance. In this study, to identify the most drought-tolerant and susceptible genotypes, ten T.

The Effect of Oxalic Acid, the Pathogenicity Factor of on the Two Susceptible and Moderately Resistant Lines of Sunflower.

Background: One of the main sunflower diseases is the white mold . The oxalic acid (OA), which is one of the main pathogenicity factors of this fungus, beside the direct toxicity on the host, has other functions such as the disruption of the cell wall and chelating out the calcium ions.

Objectives: Regarding the importance of this disease, it is important to study the reactions of the plant against OA which is a nonspecific toxin of many other necrotrophic fungi.

Parthenolide reduces metastasis by inhibition of vimentin expression and induces apoptosis by suppression elongation factor α - 1 expression.

Background: Use of pharmaceutical agent for breast cancer chemotherapy is an interesting method that induces cells death by different way, such as apoptosis. Parthenolide is the main compound in feverfew that has been used to cure migraine and rheumatoid arthritis for long time. Parthenolide has been predominately investigated as inducer of apoptosis in human cancer cells.

Cadmium and copper induced changes in growth, oxidative metabolism and terpenoids of Tanacetum parthenium.

Morphological and biochemical responses of feverfew plants exposed to low (5 μM) and high (35 and 70 μM) levels of Cd or Cu were investigated. Increasing metal supply notably reduced the plant biomass. Elevated Cd and Cu levels also resulted in an increase in the leaf proline content.

L.'s anti-growth effect on a breast cancer cell line.

This research was done to evaluate the induction of apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line by 's extract, in which a significant amount of ß-carbolines is included. The apoptosis incidence was assessed through Annexin-V-Flous kit. The expressions of genes through which intrinsic apoptosis pathway are involved, Bax, Bcl-2, Bid, and Puma, over the genes the expressions of which are linked to extrinsic apoptosis pathway, TRAIL, Caspase8, p21, and p53, were examined by RT-PCR and Real-time PCR.

FT-IR study of the polysaccharides isolated from the skin juice, gel juice, and flower of Aloe vera tissues affected by fertilizer treatment.

Background: This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different amounts of fertilizers on the polysaccharides of Aloe vera plant. There were four different treatments, viz. T1 = 150% N, T2 = 150% P, T3 = 150% K, and T4 = 150% NPK (50% N + 50% P + 50% K) soil.
