Many aldehydes are important components of natural flavours. They are used in food, cosmetic, and biomedical industries in large amounts. Plant cells or microorganisms carry out their production by biotransformation, which is one of the biotechnological methods that allow them to be defined as 'natural'. Cell cultures of Silybum marianum and Peganum harmala have been studied with a view to in...

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of zinc exposure (0, 1, 5, 15, 30 mg/L zinc) on biochemical and physiological parameters Peganum harmala seedlings. Two populations (metallicolous non-metallicolous) were compared in Zn tolerance, accumulation, photosynthetic pigments, enzymatic antioxidant activities. Plants treated with at concentrations 0, for 14 days. results showed that in...
