Effects of phytohormones on thermal denaturation profiles of Cymbidium DNA: indication of differential DNA replication.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Protocorm pieces of the orchid Cymbidium were aseptically cultured either without phytohormones, or with one of the growth promoting substances, auxin cytokinin, and gibberellin. The derivative melting profiles of the extracted DNA's differ from each other with respect to the size of various AT- and GC- rich fractions. Evidence has been obtained for the increase of the more AT--rich fractions in auxin-treated cultures, while gibberellin stimulated the expansion of the GC-rich fractions. These results are consistent with earlier cytological and cytochemical findings and indicate the involvement of hormone-controlled differential DNA replication in the development of Cymbidium protocorms in vitro.

INTERACTION OF DOXORUBICIN WITH DNA-HMG1 COMPLEX
In this study, the interaction of the anthracycline antibiotic doxorubicin with DNA-HMG 1 complex was investigated employing UV/VIS spectroscopy, thermal denaturation and DNA cellulose chromatography techniques. The results indicated that the binding of doxorubicin to the protein reduces its Tm in a dose dependent manner. Although doxorubicin protects free DNA against thermal denaturation ...

Background and Aim: Sperm cryopreservation is a common technique used for management of male infertility. But this method has detrimental effects on sperm DNA and chromatin quality. Evaluation of different markers associated with the health of genetic material of sperm is beneficial for determination of the fertility of sperm. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of sperm chromatin co...

The aggregation behavior of anionic Cobalt(II) 4,4′,4ʺ,4‴-tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine, [Co(TSPc)4-] was studied at its various concentrations and different ionic strengths using optical absorption and resonance light scattering (RLS) spectroscopies in 5 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 at 25 °C. The results show no aggregation behavior at concentration range of 5.1 × 10-6-7....

In this study at first , an azo dye, 2,7- naphthalenediol, 2-[(4-Bromophenyl)azo (BPAND) as a ligand has been synthesized by addition of p-Bromoaniline to the modified montomorillonite K10 clay. This ligand was characterized using 1H-NMR, UV-Vis and IR spectroscopies. Subsequently, its interaction with calf thymus deoxyribonucleicacid ,ct-DNA was investigated in 5 mM phosphate buffer solution, ...

In this study the effect of the alkylating agent, sulfur mustard, on calf thymus chromatin was investigated using UV/Vis spectroscopy, gel electrophoresis and thermal denaturation techniques. The results show that treatment of isolated chromatin with sulfur mustard releases histones from the core particles but does not affect histone H I and nonhistone chromosomal proteins. The content of ...
