Agarwood is a resinous wood of great economic value produced by trees from the Thymelaeaceae family in response to stress. The natural formation agarwood can take decades after exposure stressors. Artificial induction inoculating stem with fungi has been successfully demonstrated, but resin accumulation occurs very slowly. Cell suspension and callus cultures may serve as an alternative solution...

objective(s) mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) from large animals as goat which is genetically more closely related to human have rarely been gained attentions. the present study tried to isolate and characterize mscs from goat bone marrow. materials and methods fibroblastic cells appeared in goat marrow cell culture were expanded through several subcultures. passaged-3 cells were then differentiat...

Background: Trigonella foenum-graecum L. commonly known as fenugreek is a rich source of important medicinal metabolite, i.e. trigonelline. Objective: In this study, hairy roots culture as a novel method for trigonelline production was evaluated. Methods: For optimizing the hairy roots culture of Trigonella foenum-graecum, three strains of Agrobacterium rhyzogenes (ATCC15834, MSU440 and K...

The innate immune system is an ancient and broad-spectrum defense system found in all eukaryotes. The detection of microbial elicitors results in the up-regulation of defense-related genes and the elicitation of inflammatory and apoptotic responses. These innate immune responses are the front-line barrier against disease because they collectively suppress the growth of the vast majority of inva...

  Background and Objective: Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) has been historically the most prevalent opportunisticinfection in patients infected with the human immunodeficiencyvirus. Culture of the organism has not been faced with suitable success in artificial media, while various results have been reported for cell culture media. The aim of this study was proliferation of Pneumocystis carin...

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the application two pre-harvest elicitors—methyl-jasmonate (MeJ) and benzothiadiazole (BTH)—to Monastrell grapes, at maturation stages, affected composition structure skin cell walls (SCWs) differing extents. This conducted in 2016–2017 on Vitis vinifera L. cv Monastrell. A water suspension MeJ BTH, a mixture both, applied veraison mid-ripening. ber...
