Synthesis of flavonoid pigments in flowers requires the co-ordinated expression of genes encoding enzymes in th phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway. Some cis-elements involved in the transcriptional control of these genes have been defined. We report binding of petal-specific activities from tobacco and Antirrhinum majus (snapdragon) to an element conserved in promoters of phenylpropanoid bios...

Greater celandine (Chelidonium majus L., Papaveraceae) is a perennial herbaceous plant, with an upright and spreading stem, large leaves, yellow flowers collected on the tops of stems in rare umbel inflorescence. The main aim study was assessment oxidative stress biomarkers [2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), carbonyl derivatives content protein modification (OMP), total antioxi...

Consistent with our previous studies, we continue to evaluate the antioxidant potential of representatives belonging Papaveraceae family collected from northern part Poland using a muscle tissue model rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum). Therefore, in present study, oxidative stress biomarkers [2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), protein modification carbonyl derivative c...

Illustrated descriptions of adult male, pupa and fourth instar larva, as well as DNA barcoding, of Hydrobaenus majus sp. nov. in comparison with the close related species H. sikhotealinensis Makarchenko et Makarchenko from the Russian Far East are provided. The species-specificity of H. majus sp. nov. COI sequences is analyzed and the sequences are presented as diagnostic characters--molecular ...
