Cadmium (Cd) is a pollutant metal present in soils and toxic to biologic organisms. Previous studies using recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) cultivars Harosoy and Fukuyutaka revealed a major quantitative trait loci for seed Cd concentration (cd1) in chromosome 9. The genome sequence of Williams 82 suggested that a P(1B)-ATPase gene involved i...

synthesis of 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenylmethyl-3-[4-(2-substitutedphenyl-4-oxo-thiazolidinyl)aryl]-6-bromo quinazolin-4(3h)ones via-j have been achieved from the starting material 2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino] phenylacetic acid i to benzoxazine iii, further reaction with p-phenylindiamine and substituted aromatic aldehyde gave 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-3-(4-aminoary...

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), tongue diagnosis (TD) has been an important diagnostic method for the last 3000 years. Tongue coating can be used as a very sensitive marker to determine the progress of chronic gastritis. Therefore, the scientific, qualitative, and quantitative study for the pathophysiologic basis of tongue coating (TC) emerged as a major direction for the objective resea...

quorum sensing controls the luminescence of vibrio fischeri through the transcriptional activator luxr and the specific autoinducer signal produced by luxi. amino acid sequences of these two genes were analyzed using bioinformatics tools. luxi consists of 193 amino acids and appears to contain five α-helices and six ß-sheets when analyzed by sspro8. luxi belongs to the autoinducer synthetase fa...

persian sturgeon (acipenser persicus) is a valuable fish caught in the caspian sea. in this study, effect of frying, the most common cooking methods on nutritional properties of the persian sturgeon fillet were investigated. the raw and fried samples were analyzed for amino acid composition, protein and fat content, in vitro digestibility and nutritional parameters. the results showed that the ...

The sp3 C–H acetoxylation at the β-position of α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids proceeds smoothly under palladium catalysis in presence PhI(OAc)2. This reaction provides a straightforward synthetic route to non-natural β-acetoxy-α-amino acids. α-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid takes place via ring-opening selectively afford an acyclic γ-acetoxy-α,β-unsaturated amino acid.

abstract background: naturally occurred hepatitis b virus (hbv) with surface mutations in a variety of chronic hepatitis b (chb) patients who have received no vaccine or hbig bearing substitutions in surface protein, have been reported. objectives: current knowledge concerning the prevalence of these naturally occurring surface antigen mutations among iranian carriers is limited. patients and m...

ABSTRACT- The production of greenhouse sweet pepper is increasing because of the consumer demand for sweet pepper year around. In this study, physiological characteristics of sweet pepper were evaluated in a greenhouse under different levels of arbascular mycorrhizal fungus, Glomus intraradices, (AMF) and various levels of amino acid (AA). Treatments included no AMF as a control (AMF1), 1000 sp...
