Autophagy: An Important Biological Process That Protects Plants from Stressful Environments
Plants are sessile organisms that cannot escape from stressful environments, such as drought, high salinity, high temperature, and shortage of essential minerals in the soil. Hence, plants have evolved processes that protect them from these harmful conditions. One of these major processes is autophagy (whichmeans, “self-eating”), amechanism that destroys specific compounds that participate in e...
متن کاملDown-regulation of the autophagy gene, ATG7, protects bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells from stressful conditions
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are valuable for cell-based therapy. However, their application is limited owing to their low survival rate when exposed to stressful conditions. Autophagy, the process by which cells recycle the cytoplasm and dispose of defective organelles, is activated by stress stimuli to adapt, tolerate adverse conditions, or trigger the apoptotic machinery. This st...
متن کاملLocal adaptation of an anuran amphibian to osmotically stressful environments.
Water salinity is an intense physiological stress for amphibians. However, some species, such as Bufo calamita, breed in both brackish and freshwater environments. Because selection under environmentally stressful conditions can promote local adaptation of populations, we examined the existence of geographic variation in water salinity tolerance among B. calamita populations from either fresh o...
متن کاملAn Environmental Friendly Process for Extraction of Active Constituents from Herbal Plants
Conventional methods for extraction of the active constituents from herbal plants, in addition to their high processing costs, are harmful to the environment owing to their time and energy consumption, uncontrollable parameters, use of toxic and dangerous solvents, loss of the extract, thermal instability, the contamination of the product with organic solvents and the loss of water-soluble comp...
متن کاملBiological Study from Ruta Plants Extracts Growing in Tunisia
Ruta species are known as a potential source of natural products with biological activities. They are used in several fields such as in therapeutic and traditional medicine. In order to contribute to the valorization of these plants, this work investigated the chemical composition and antibacterial activity of the essential oils of Ruta montana and Ruta gravelons growing in tunisia (north o...
