Gene expression and morphological responses of Lolium perenne L. exposed to cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg).

Soil contamination with heavy metals is a major problem worldwide, due to the increasing impact mainly caused by anthropogenic activities. This research evaluated the phytoremediation capacity of, Lolium perenne for heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg), and the effects of these metals on morphology, biomass production, and the changes on gene expression. Seeds of L.

Preliminary study of the production of metabolites from in vitro cultures of C. ensiformis.

Background: Canavalia ensiformis is a legume native to Central and South America that has historically been a source of protein. Its main proteins, urease, and lectin have been extensively studied and are examples of bioactive compounds. In this work, the effect of pH and light effects on the growth of C.
