There have been conflicting reports in the literature concerning the polypeptide composition of the vacuolar H(+)-translocating inorganic pyrophosphatase (tonoplast H(+)-PPase) of plant cells. The major subunit(s) of the enzyme have been attributed to polypeptides of relative molecular weight (M(r)) 64,500 (Beta vulgaris), 67,000 (Beta vulgaris), 73,000 (Vigna radiata), and 37,000 to 45,000 (Ze...

Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek var. radiata) is a significant food and cash crop grown in tropical subtropical regions. production consumer demand have increased substantially over the last two decades, owing to its agronomic, nutritional economic benefits. Despite breeding efforts expansion of mungbean various agro-climatic regions, further hindered by low yield variability, which par...

The title compound, C(25)H(33)FN(2)O(4), was synthesized from 9α-hy-droxy-parthenolide (9α-hy-droxy-4,8-dimethyl-12-methyl-ene-3,14-dioxatricyclo-[9.3.0.0(2,4)]tetra-dec-7-en-13-one), which was isolated from the chloro-form extract of the aerial parts of Anvillea radiata. The asymmetric unit contains two independent mol-ecules. In each mol-ecule, the ten-membered ring displays an approximative ...

The title compound, C(19)H(29)NO(5), was synthesized from 9α-hy-droxy-parthenolide (9α-hy-droxy-4,8-dimethyl-12-methylen-3,14-dioxatricyclo-[9.3.0.0(2),(4)]tetra-dec-7-en-13-one), which was isolated from the chloro-form extract of the aerial parts of Anvillea radiata. The mol-ecule is built up from two fused five- and ten-membered rings with the (morpholin-4-yl)methyl group as a substituent. Th...

BACKGROUND Farwa is an Island in Libya receives petrochemical wastes generated from General Company of Chemical Industries (GCCI) since more than 40 years. AIM The present work aimed to determine the concentrations of mercury (Hg(+2)) in fish, marine plants and sediment collected from Farwa lagoon to evaluate effect of industrial wastewater from GCCI on the marine environment. METHODS Hundr...

The title compound, C(20)H(31)NO(5), was synthesized from 9α-hy-droxy-parthenolide (9α-hy-droxy-4,8-dimethyl-12-methylen-3,14-dioxa-tricyclo-[9.3.0.0(2),(4)]tetra-dec-7-en-13-one), which was isolated from the chloro-form extract of the aerial parts of Anvillea radiata. The mol-ecule is built up from fused five-and ten-membered rings with the pipyridin-1-yl-methyl group as a substituent. The ten...

The widespread industrial use and consequent release of nanosized iron (nFe3O4) zinc oxide (nZnO) particles into the environment have raised concerns over their effects on living organisms, including plants. These nanoparticles are source respective metal ions although plants require both Fe Zn for proper growth, excessive levels these metals toxic to them. A better understanding also offers an...
