Studies on Auxin-membrane Permeability Relations in Fruit and Leaf Tissues

Auxin-lnduced Epinasty of Tobacco Leaf Tissues'

lnterveinal strips (10 x 1.5 mm) excised from growing tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Xanthi) leaves curled 2 3 0 0 " when incubated for 20 h in 5 to 500 ~ L M a-naphthalene acetic acid or 5 0 to 500 p~ indole-3-acetic acid. Epinasty was not induced without auxin or by the auxin analog p-naphthalene acetic acid, and less substantial epinasty was induced in midrib and vein segments. Auxin treat...

Two Relations to Estimate Membrane Permeability Using Milestoning

Prediction of passive permeation rates of solutes across lipid bilayers is important to drug design, toxicology, and other biological processes such as signaling. The inhomogeneous solubility-diffusion (ISD) equation is traditionally used to relate the position-dependent potential of mean force and diffusivity to the permeability coefficient. The ISD equation is derived via the Smoluchowski equ...

Antihypoxic Activities of Sambucus ebulus Leaf and Fruit and Myrtus communis Leaf in Mice

Background and purpose: Hypoxia occurs especially in heart diseases and could lead to death. Compounds with antioxidant activity could display antihypoxic property. Sambucus ebulus (SE) and Myrtus communis (Myrtle) are well known plants with distinctive antioxidant activities. To the best of our knowledge there are no reports on their antihypoxic activities. Materials and methods: Protective e...
