Naturforsch. 50c, 29-36 (1995); received August 29/September 30,1994 Cucumis (Germination), Integral Membrane Protein, Isoenzyme (Lipoxygenase), Lipoxygenase, Methyl Jasmonate, Plasma Membrane In cucumber cotyledons (Cucumis sativus L.) containing several soluble and particulate forms of lipoxygenase (LOX), the location of LOX forms in microsomes has been studied. We concentrated on the ques...

Photosynthetic pigments from etiolated cucumber (Cucumis sativus var. Beit Alpha improved, Hazera Co., Gedera) cotyledons were extracted by direct immersion of the intact cotyledons into the solvent N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The solvent is especially efficient when pigment concentration is low; time and tools are saved and the loss of pigment that usually occurs in more complicated extractio...

This study reports an effective and simple method for culturing the comb jellyfish, Beroe cucumis. The breeding another jelly, Bolinopsis mikado, was published by Ikeda et al. (2022), in which mikado bred stably large numbers, then provided as food to developing Fertilized eggs were found a 235-L tank two days after five parental cucumis housed tank, individuals isolated from next day. day foun...

Upon examination of the fruit extract of Cucumis sativus L. for its pharmacological benefits, it was previously observed that it has potential proteolytic, fibrinogenolytic and procoagulant activities. These properties can be attributed to the presence of the protease. In this regard, the present study comprised of purification and characterization of protease. Purification of the enzyme involv...

Various angiosperms differed in their monovinyl and divinyl protochlorophyllide biosynthetic capabilities during the dark and light phases of photoperiodic growth. Some plant species such as Cucumis sativus L., Brassica juncea (L.) Coss., Brassica kaber (DC.) Wheeler, and Portulaca oleracea L. accumulated mainly divinyl protochlorophyllide at night. Monocotyledonous species such as Avena sativa...
