Radiation Synthesis of Selenium Nanoparticles Capped with -Glucan and Its Immunostimulant Activity in Cytoxan-Induced Immunosuppressed Mice.

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) with diameters from 64.8 to 110.1 nm were successfully synthesized by γ-irradiation of solutions containing Se and water-soluble yeast -glucan.

Phytochemical Screening and Evaluation of Antioxidant Properties and Antimicrobial Activity against of Extracts in Binh Thuan Province, Vietnam.

is a medicine plant possessing many bioactive properties. This paper focused on phytochemical screening (alkaloid, flavonoid, saponin, tannin, and anthraquinone), quantification of polyphenol and flavonoids, and activating evaluation of antioxidants and antimicrobial properties against of different extracts from grown in Binh Thuan, Vietnam. The best activity fraction was used for purification and determining bioactive ingredients.

Datura innoxia plants hydroponically-inoculated with Agrobacterium rhizogenes display an enhanced growth and alkaloid metabolism.

Background: The production of secondary metabolites through the culture of entire plants is of great interest. Soilless culture, such as hydroponics, enables the control of plant growth and metabolism. Specific environmental conditions must be developed to maximize the productivity of medicinal plants used as efficient natural bioreactors.

Tropane alkaloid profiling of hydroponic Datura innoxia Mill. Plants inoculated with Agrobacterium rhizogenes.

Introduction: Hydroponics has been shown as a possible way to produce high quality plant biomass with improved phytochemical levels. Nevertheless, effects of plant biotic and abiotic environment can lead to drastic changes and plant growth conditions must be optimised.

Objective: To evaluate how much microbes and Agrobacterium rhizogenes TR7 wild strain may affect the tropane alkaloid profile in Datura innoxia Mill.
