Silicon mediates sodium transport and partitioning in maize under moderate salt stress
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
Silicon (Si) is known to alleviate salt stress in various crops; however, the influence of Si on sodium (Na) transport and partitioning at the tissue, cell and organelle levels is poorly understood. Maize (Zea mays L.) ...
Immunomodulatory activity and protective effects of chokeberry fruit extract on Listeria monocytogenes infection in mice
(United Kingdom : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)
Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) fruit extracts (CE) are rich in polyphenols and usually exhibit immunomodulatory, anti-viral and anti-bacterial effects. We have previously shown that the CE used in this study activated ...
Utilization of supercritical carbon dioxide in fabrication of cellulose acetate films with anti-biofilm effects against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2018)
This study discusses utilization of supercritical carbon dioxide for impregnation of cellulose acetate films with thymol in order to produce material with anti-biofilm activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus ...
Nitrate inhibits primary root growth by reducing accumulation of reactive oxygen species in the root tip in Medicago truncatula
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2020)
In Medicago truncatula, nitrate, acting as a signal perceived by NITRATE TRANSPORTER1/PEPTIDE TRANSPORTER FAMILY 6.8 (MtNPF6.8), inhibits primary root growth through a reduction of root cell elongation. Since reactive ...
Chemical characterization and antimicrobial activity of Juglans nigra L. nut and green husk / Hemijska karakterizacija i antimikrobna aktivnost orašastog ploda i zelene ljuske Juglans nigra l.
(Belgrade : Serbian Chemical Society, 2023)
Juglans nigra (Black walnut) is a source of health-promoting
biologically active compounds used in traditional medicine. The investigation of
bioactive compounds in black walnut could lead to its broader application, ...
Blue luminescent amino-functionalized graphene quantum dots as a responsive material for potential detection of metal ions and malathion
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
Large amounts of hazardous and toxic substances in the environment require non-toxic, cheap, easy, rapid, and sensitive methods for their detection. Blue luminescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were produced by electrochemical ...
Identification of novel potent and non-toxic anticancer, anti-angiogenic and antimetastatic rhenium complexes against colorectal carcinoma
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2020)
Combination therapy targeting both tumor growth and vascularization is considered to be a cornerstone for colorectal carcinomas (CRC) treatment. However, the major obstacles of most clinical anticancer drugs are their weak ...
Biodegradable and active zein-gelatin-based electrospun mats and solvent-cast films incorporating sage extract: Formulation and comparative characterization
(Food Packaging and Shelf LifeFood Packaging and Shelf LifeFood Packaging and Shelf Life, 2023)
This study aimed to develop active, biodegradable materials for food packaging by incorporating sage extract (SE) within a zein-gelatin blend by electrospinning and solvent casting. The fabrication techniques, SE incorporation, ...
Ultraviolet-B component of sunlight stimulates photosynthesis and flavonoid accumulation in variegated Plectranthus coleoides leaves depending on background light
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2015)
We used variegated Plectranthus coleoides as a model plant with the aim of clarifying whether the effects of realistic ultraviolet-B (UV-B) doses on phenolic metabolism in leaves are mediated by photosynthesis. Plants were ...
LAMMER kinase contributes to genome stability in Ustilago maydis
(Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2015)
Here we report identification of the lkh1 gene encoding a LAMMER kinase homolog (Lkh1) from a screen for DNA repair-deficient mutants in Ustilago maydis. The mutant allele isolated results from a mutation at glutamine codon ...
