Screening Capsicum chinense fruits for heavy metals bioaccumulation.
Elevated concentrations of heavy metals in edible plants could expose consumers to excessive levels of potentially hazardous chemicals. Sixty-three accessions (genotypes) of Capsicum chinense Jacq, collected from 8 countries of origin were grown in a silty-loam soil under field conditions. At maturity, fruits were collected and analyzed for seven heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn, Cu, and Mo) co...
متن کاملTwo new acyclic diterpene glycosides from fruits of Habanero, Capsicum chinense.
Four acyclic diterpene glycosides were extracted from Habanero, the fruits of Capsicum chinense JACQ., which is known as one of the hottest peppers in existence. Two of these glycosides were identified as capsianoside XIII and capsianoside XV. The other two were new ones and were characterized as 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl 17,19-dihydroxy-6E,10E,14Z-(3S)-geranyllina...
متن کاملProteins and peptides for the control of phytopathogenic fungi
Plants are exposed to a large number of pathogenic fungi. Although they do not have an immune system, plant have evolved a variety of potent defense mechanisms, including the synthesis of low molecular weight compounds, proteins, and peptides that have antifungal activity. These proteins appear to be involved in either constitutive or induced resistance to fungal attack. Generally, these protei...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Peptides – Promising Alternatives to Conventional Antibiotics
Antimicrobial peptides (APs) have been described as evolutionary ancient weapons. Produced by a wide variety of organisms as part of a non-specific immune response, these peptides are involved in the direct destruction of various microorganisms. Several APs have been shown to have broad activity spectra against microorganisms such as Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, enveloped viruses, ...
