The complete genome sequence of Lactobacillus bacteriophage LL-H was determined in 1996. Accordingly, LL-H has been used as a model phage for the infection of dairy Lactobacillus, specifically for thermophilic Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. lactis host strains, such as ATCC 15808. One of the major goals of phage LL-H research consisted of the characterization of the first phage-host interaction...

background: herbal essential oils (eos) are natural, volatile, and complex compounds that are defined by a strong odor. this study was conducted to investigate and compare antioxidant and antifungal properties of eo extracted from flowers and leaves of origanum vulgare ssp. gracile from iran. methods: eos of leaves and flowers of o. vulgare ssp. gracile were extracted using a modified clevenger...

objective(s):ethnopharmacological field surveys demonstrated that many plants, such as gentiana olivieri, helichrysum graveolens, helichrysum plicatum ssp. plicatum, juniperus oxycedrus ssp. oxycedrus, juniperus  communis var. saxatilis, viscum album (ssp. album, ssp. austriacum), are used as traditional medicine for diabetes in different regions of anatolia. the present study was designed to e...

The species Petroselinum crispum (Parsley) and Foeniculum vulgare (Fennel) are aromatic herbs belonging to the Apiaceae Lamiaceae family respectively. leaves of both plants were consecutively extracted based on separation using ethanol subjected phytochemical testing that revealed presence biologically active compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids, terpenoids, alkaloids glyco...

Uniparental chromosome elimination occurs in several interspecific hybrids of plants. We studied the mechanism underlying selective elimination of the paternal chromosomes during the early development of Hordeum vulgare × Hordeum bulbosum embryos. The following conclusions regarding the role of the centromere-specific histone H3 variant (CENH3) in the process of chromosome elimination were draw...

Although the sexual transfer of genetic material between species (i.e. introgression) has been documented in many groups of plants and animals, genome-wide patterns of introgression are poorly understood. Is most of the genome permeable to interspecific gene flow, or is introgression typically restricted to a handful of genomic regions? Here, we assess the genomic extent and direction of introg...

The aim of this study is to examine the growth inhibitory effects of methanolic leaf and fruit extracts of L. vulgare on HCT-116 cells over different time periods and their synergistic effect with a Pd(apox) complex. The antiproliferative activity of plant extracts alone or in combination with the Pd(apox) complex was determined using MTT cell viability assay, where the IC(50) value was used as...

Climate change, including decreasing rainfall, makes cultivating cereals more difficult. Drought stress reduces plant growth and most all yields. On the other hand, consumers’ interest in ancient wheat varieties, spelt, is growing. The aim of this work to compare response drought between spelt (Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta) common vulgare). Six cultivars from different European countries ‘Boga...
