Free radical scavenging properties of pyrimidine derivatives
Free radicals are well known for playing a dual role in our body- deleterious as well as beneficial. It includes a metabolic pathway for its generation. Oxidative stress in our body occurs due to excessive generation of free radicals and reduced level of antioxidants, but at low concentrations, these radicals help to perform normal physiological functions of the body. Scientific evidence sugges...
متن کاملFree Radical Scavenging Properties of Annona squamosa
Annona squamosa has extensively been used in the traditional and folkloric medicine and found to possess many biological activities. Different solvents, petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of Annona squamosa seeds (ASPE, ASCH, ASEA, ASME) have been used to prepare plant extracts. The present investigations dealt with the free radical scavenging activity of four extr...
متن کاملTransgenic maize and Mexican maize diversity: Risky synergy?
The two articles that begin this issue of Agriculture and Human Values discuss different aspects of the debate about the potential effects of transgenic varieties (TGVs) of maize on the maize diversity of small-scale farming in Mexico. Bellon and Berthaud in their paper, ‘‘Traditional Mexican agricultural systems and the potential impacts of transgenic varieties on maize diversity,’’ focus on w...
متن کاملGenomic variation in recently collected maize landraces from Mexico.
The present dataset comprises 36,931 SNPs genotyped in 46 maize landraces native to Mexico as well as the teosinte subspecies Zea maiz ssp. parviglumis and ssp. mexicana. These landraces were collected directly from farmers mostly between 2006 and 2010. We accompany these data with a short description of the variation within each landrace, as well as maps, principal component analyses and neigh...
متن کاملFinding a Needle in a Haystack: Distinguishing Mexican Maize Landraces Using a Small Number of SNPs
In Mexico's territory, the center of origin and domestication of maize (Zea mays), there is a large phenotypic diversity of this crop. This diversity has been classified into "landraces." Previous studies have reported that genomic variation in Mexican maize is better explained by environmental factors, particularly those related with altitude, than by landrace. Still, landraces are extensively...
