Four short nucleotide sequences (boxes I to IV) contribute to the light responsiveness of the parsley chalcone synthase promoter. The sequence-related boxes II and III resemble several plant, viral, and bacterial promoter elements that share ACGT core sequences and are associated with diversely regulated genes. We have analyzed the binding characteristics and protein-protein interactions of fac...

Nowadays, the use of mobile telephony and wire-less devices has become more demanding, generating electromagnetic radiations. Microwave radiation can affect the growth rate of plants. For this study, the aromatic plants i.e. parsley, celery, dill, basil, were chosen as irradiated plants. This study aims to investigate the effects of irradiation with microwave field on polyphenolic compounds fro...

The phospholipids of cultured parsley and soybean cells were labelled with myo-[2-3H]inositol, [2-3H]glycerol or [32P]orthophosphate. By oneand two-dimensional chromatographic compari­ son of the labelled phospholipids with reference substances, the presence of l-(3-sn-phosphatidyl)-D-myo-inositol 4-phosphate and l-(3-sn-phosphatidyl)-D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate was demonstrated in these cu...

A comparison of the product yield, total phenolics, total flavonoids, and antioxidant properties was done in different leafy vegetables/herbs (basil, chard, parsley, and red kale) and fruit crops (bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and squash) grown in aeroponic growing systems (AG) and in the field (FG). An average increase of about 19%, 8%, 65%, 21%, 53%, 35%, 7%, and 50% in the yield wa...

Medicinal and flavoring herbs are widely used in herbal medicine. Various methods to study plants, evaluate the efficiency of extraction biologically active target components. The process control is carried out by chromatographic, spectral methods. search for new fast, affordable, simple analysis currently relevant. dry droplet weighing method extract was proposed as an alternative known herb p...

This article presents the Hamburg Metaphor Database project, an online database of French and German metaphors which came into being in 2002. In this database, metaphors appearing in different domain-specific corpora collected from mass media are available. The metaphors are annotated with lexical and conceptual information according to standard resources of the field: the EuroWordNet database ...
