The present study is to investigate the effect of the active fraction of Flos Daturae (AF-FD) (dried flower of Datura metel L.) on IFNinduced apoptosis in a human keratinocyte cell line (HaCAT), which is a widely accepted mimic model of psoriasis. Accordingly, we used MTT and LDH to assay cell viability, FCM and Hoechst 33342 staining to assay cell apoptosis, and Western blotting to assay the e...

Cytological characters and protein profile of 5 species (Solanum melongena, S. xanthocarpum, Datura alba,Lycopersiconesculentum and Capsicum annum) of family Solanaceae were investigated through poly acrylamide gel electrophoresis and using cytological characters viz. mitotic index and pollen viability. The present protein profile revealed that experimental genusLycopersicon is very close to th...
