GGPPS (geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase) is a crucial enzyme in the terpene biosynthesis pathway. Terpenoids play essential roles chlorophyll and development of cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata L.), major cruciferous vegetable worldwide. However, limited information available regarding B. genes. In this study, we examined 10 BoGGPPS genes from genome. The subcellular localizatio...

Plan: The present study was undertaken to investigate the H2 receptor antagonistic action of fresh juice of Brassica oleracea var. capitata Methodology: Two sets of experiments consisted of recording the responses of the uterine horn preparations (precontracted with potassium chloride, KCl) to histamine (4.5; 9; 17.99; 35.99; 71.98 × 10 and 14.40× 10 mol/L, 2 minute each concentration) in absen...

Weeds may be suppressed by winter cover crops and the use of organic herbicides such as vinegar. Black oat (Avena strigosa) and hairy vetch (Vicia villosa) winter cover crops were planted for 2 years as part of a sustainable production system for cotton in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, and were till-killed each spring prior to cotton planting. Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri), commo...

Background & Aims of the Study: The objective of this study was to investigate the seed pre-treatment with salicylic acid (SA) on tolerance and remediation ability of Brassica oleracea var. acephala under lead and zinc stresses. Materials and Methods: Present study was conducted to evaluate phyto-accumulative ability of Brassica oleracea var. acephala in heavy metal concentrat...

Red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. Var. Capiata L.) is a fresh edible vegetable abundant in acylated anthocyanins with high antioxidant properties and is a promising resource for the functional food industry. Anthocyanin characterization of red cabbage is not a new topic, but the predominant anthocyanins have been coeluted using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) because of their simi...

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to detect remains of Pieris rapae L. (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) immature stages in the guts of field collected arthropod predators. The assay can be used to help ascertain the relative importance of arthropod predator species in suppressing P. rapae in cabbage, Brassica oleracea var. capitata L. The ELISA is sensitive to all immature stage...

The aim of this study was to investigate the responses of atherosclerosis plaque biomarkers to purslane seed consumption and aerobic training in women with T2D. 196 women with T2D were assigned into; (1) placebo (PL), (2) aerobic training+placebo (AT + PL), 3) purslane seeds (PS), aerobic training+purslane seeds (AT + PS). The training program and purslane seeds consumption (2.5 g lunch and 5 g...

traditionally, in suburbs of tabriz city, northwest iran (gps 38˚06΄n, 46˚15΄e, mean temperature of 6.6-20.0°c, sandy loam soil type), different types of vegetables including cabbages have been cultivated for many years. the cabbage cyst nematode, heterodera cruciferae was reported as one of the plant parasitic nematodes infecting kohlrabi (brassica oleracea l. var. gongylodes) and white cabbag...
