CO 2 reduction (CO RR) with selective benzyl alcohol (BA) oxidation in a single photoredox reaction can simultaneously utilize photogenerated electrons and holes to realize efficient production of fuels value‐added chemicals. Herein, unique 2D/1D ZnIn S 4 /In O 3 (ZIS/In ) heterostructure is developed displaying outstanding performance for catalysis. As unequivocally illustrated by various adva...

An efficient protocol for enhancement of total alkaloids production from suspension cultures of A. belladonna L. was established. The effect of MS-medium supplemented with different concentrations of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and benzyl adenine (BA) on growth parameters as well as total alkaloid production was investigated. In the same connection, the effect of biotic stress caused by vario...

Abstract The development of a feasible industrial method for poly(ϵ‐caprolactone) (PCL) preparation is great significant and challenging. bulk ring‐opening polymerization ϵ‐caprolactone (ϵ‐CL) using various organic acid catalysts benzyl alcohol (BnOH) as the initiator was developed. Benzoic (BA) has been proved to be an efficient catalyst ROP ϵ‐CL under mild conditions. conversion PCL 84.7 % op...

A novel mixed-ligand copper(II) complex with N-(p-methoxybenzyl)-iminodiacetato(2)) ligand (MOBIDA) and adenine (AdeH) of formula 1⁄2CuðMOBIDAÞðAdeHÞðH2OÞ H2O has been obtained. Its crystal structure reveals the selective formation of a rare Cu– N3(AdeH) bond, closely related to those reported by first time for compounds of general formula 1⁄2CuðBÞðAdeHÞðH2OÞ H2O, with B1⁄4N-benzylor N-(p-methy...

In vitro flowering and effective micropropagation protocol were studied in Swertia chirayita, an important medicinal plant using axillary bud explants. The Murashige and Skoog's medium (MS) supplemented with benzyl amino purine (BAP) 1.0 mg L(-1) and adenine sulfate 70.0 mg L(-1) was found optimum for production of multiple shoots. In the present study, incubation of flowering cultures on BAP s...

the complexes of mn(oac)3 and/or mn(acac)3 with nucleic bases and nucleosides (adenine, guanine, xanthine, adenosine and guanosine) have been synthesized in nonaqueous solution. polarographic and spectroscopic (ir and visible) methods have been used to establish the active site(s) on the imidazole and pyrimidine rings in the nucleic bases and nucleosides for the interaction with the mn(iii) com...

CO oxidoreductase was purified to 95% homogeneity from crude mycelial extracts of Streptomyces G26. The purified preparation has a specific activity of 25.7 units/mg, a 13-fold improvement on crude soluble mycelial extracts. The native enzyme (Mr 282,000) is composed of non-identical subunits of Mr 110,000 and 33,000. It is a molybdenum hydroxylase containing 1.6 mol of FAD, 7.3 mol of Fe, 8.3 ...

Background: Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench.] is a nutrient-rich vegetable crop widely grown in the tropics and sub-tropics mainly for its edible pods. The haploid technique has been used plant breeding improvements of plants to develop new varieties relatively short time. Hence, we have optimized several factors such as growth regulators (PGR), sucrose concentration, cold treatment, t...
