Guaiacol peroxidases (GP) are haem-containing enzymes participating in many physiological processes in plants. The expression pattern of these enzymes is organ-specific and developmentally regulated. Methods: The presence of GP activity in extract samples, prepared from Crocus sativus L. corms that were either dormant or rooting for 3, 6 and 10 days, was investigated. Results: Kinetic studies r...

We examined carbon monoxide (CO) delivery by carbon monoxide-releasing molecule 2 (CORM-2) or hemoglobin (Hb) on cellular oxygen sensing and mitochondrial respiration in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs). CORM-2 reduced hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) expression in normoxic and hypoxic cells, but while Hb alone significantly reduced HIF-1α stabilization in hyp...

Enterprises need a flexible and configurable IT architecture to meet complex business requirements agilely. For the purpose of bridging business modelling in build-time and application configuration in runtime seamlessly, a Conceptual Ontology-based Resource metaModel (CORM) is proposed. Firstly, a resource meta-model is built as a referred model to describe business elements and relationships....

in order to understand the effects of different organic and chemical fertilizer on stigma yield, corm characterstics and leaf dry matter yield (as a forage) of saffron (crocus sativus l.), an experiment was conducted in the research station of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, in 2005-2009; as a randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and three replicatio...

Different explants of Crocus sativus L. such as corm, style, ovary, petal, anther and leaf were cultured on LS and MS media supplemented with NAA and BAP or 2,4-D plus BAP at different combinations. Shoot and corm induction occurred in addition to the formation of other organs. Efficient plantlet regeneration with strong roots occurred at 1 mg 1-I of both NAA and BAP. An increase in 2,4-D l...

Field experiment was conducted at Akwa Ibom State University teaching and research farm during the 2020 2021 cropping seasons to evaluate growth yield of cocoyam on varying rates organic manure in a based-intercropping system Obio Akpa, Nigeria. Experiment laid out randomized complete block design with three replications. Treatments were four – PM 0 t/ha, 2.5 5.0 7.5 t/ha) crop mixtures - Sole ...
