Peptides with Dual Antimicrobial and Anticancer Activities
In recent years, the number of people suffering from cancer and multi-resistant infections has increased, such that both diseases are already seen as current and future major causes of death. Moreover, chronic infections are one of the main causes of cancer, due to the instability in the immune system that allows cancer cells to proliferate. Likewise, the physical debility associated with cance...
متن کاملSelective killing of oncogenically transformed cells through a ROS-mediated mechanism by beta-phenylethyl isothiocyanate.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) stimulate cell proliferation and induce genetic instability, and their increase in cancer cells is often viewed as an adverse event. Here, we show that such abnormal increases in ROS can be exploited to selectively kill cancer cells using beta-phenylethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC). Oncogenic transformation of ovarian epithelial cells with H-Ras(V12) or expression of B...
متن کاملComputational Identification of Micro RNAs and Their Transcript Target(s) in Field Mustard (Brassica rapa L.)
Background: Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are a pivotal part of non-protein-coding endogenous small RNA molecules that regulate the genes involved in plant growth and development, and respond to biotic and abiotic environmental stresses posttranscriptionally.Objective: In the present study, we report the results of a systemic search for identifi cation of new miRNAs in B. rapa using homology-based ...
متن کاملQuantitative Trait Loci in Brassica rapa
This paper briefly examines current methodology for developing genetic linkage maps and using them to find loci for quantitative traits (QTL). Maximum likelihood interval mapping is viewed as an extension of classical least squares methods when the trait of interest is normally distributed and located near a genetic marker. Some problems in finding multiple loci for a quantitative trait are exa...
متن کاملVARIABILITY AND HERITABILITY ANALYSIS IN F4 GENOTYPES OF Brassica rapa L
A field experiment was conducted in the experimental field of Genetics and Plant Breeding Department, Sher-e Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh to study variability in 10 F4 lines obtained through intervarietal crosses along with 8 released varieties of Brassica rapa. Significant variation was observed among all the genotypes for all the characters studied. Considering genetic pa...
