The REGIA Database (RegiaDB): Status, Limitations and Future Developments

REGIA (the REgulatory Gene Initiative in Arabidopsis) is financed by the European Union (EU) (QLG2-1999-00876) and carried out by a consortium of 29 laboratories in 9 EU countries (http:// www.epsoweb.org/catalog/EU/fp5/REGIA.htm). The objective of this project is the functional characterization of transcription factors (TFs) from Arabidopsis, to obtain insight into their evolution, and the reg...

Development and characterization of new microsatellites for walnut (Juglans regia).

The expressed sequence tag (EST) database represents a potentially valuable resource for the development of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for use in evolutionary studies. EST-SSRs reveal polymorphisms not only within the source taxon, but in related taxa as well. In this paper, we describe a case study in which the publicly available walnut (Juglans regia) EST database was used to develo...

Organic Aqua Regia: Discovery, Fundamentals, and Potential Applications

Antihemolytic activity and mineral contents of Juglans regia L. flowers.

OBJECTIVES Juglans (J.) regia L. is known to possess many biological properties. In this study, antihemolytic activity of methanol extract of Juglans regia L. flower were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Antihemolytic activities of Juglans regia L. flowers were evaluated by various in vitro assays. In addition, scavenging of hydrogen peroxide and mineral contents of flowers were determined...

Nanosilver Particle Production Using Juglans Regia L. (Walnut) Leaf Extract

BACKGROUND The production of nanoparticles using a biosystem is considered green chemistry. Application of plant extracts as a biological process has been proven to be suitable for synthesis of nanoparticles. OBJECTIVES This study designed in order to evaluate the production of silver nanoparticles using Juglans regia leaf extract and to compare the outcome of different preparation methods of...
