Pereskia aculeata Mill., popularmente conhecida como ora-pro-nobis e “carne-de-pobre”, devido ao teor de proteína das folhas, é considerada planta alimentícia não-convencional (PANC). O trabalho teve objetivo a caracterização físico-química folhas P. avaliação da atividade antioxidante conteúdo compostos fenólicos em seu extrato. As foram liofilizadas realizada determinando umidade, proteínas, ...

Background: The genus Randia L. (Rubiaceae) is native to Americas and highly distributed in tropical areas. Some species are used traditional medicine some countries treat diverse illnesses/symptoms of kidney, circulatory system, lungs, diabetes, cancer, inflammation, against the bites/stings snakes other poisonous animals.
 Questions: What phytochemical compounds previously identified ? b...

Polyprotein processing is a major strategy used by many plant and animal viruses to maximize the number of protein products obtainable from a single open reading frame. In Sesbania mosaic virus, open reading frame-2 codes for a polyprotein that is cleaved into different functional proteins in cis by the N-terminal serine protease domain. The soluble protease domain lacking 70-amino-acid residue...

A well-resolved rhizobial species phylogeny with 51 haplotypes was inferred from a combined atpD + recA data set using Bayesian inference with best-fit, gene-specific substitution models. Relatively dense taxon sampling for the genera Rhizobium and Mesorhizobium was achieved by generating atpD and recA sequences for six type and 24 reference strains not previously available in GenBank. This phy...

Two benzooxepin types isolated from the stem bark of Bauhinia aculeata L. (Fabaceae) have been identified as bauhiniastin 4 (1) and pacharin (2). The structure of both compounds have been elucidated based on its spectroscopic data, including UV, 1D and 2D NMR, and HREISMS spectra. Compounds 1 – 2 were evaluated for their radical scavenging against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), showing t...

The main objective of this research is to investigate the anti-biofilm and anti-bacterial activity of Sesbania grandiflora (S. grandiflora) against Staphylococcus aureus. S. grandiflora extract were prepared and analyzed with UV -Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Dynamic light scattering. Biofilm forming pathogens were identified by congo-red assay. Quantification of Ex...

A field experiment was carried out in the year 2014 and 2015 at experimental of Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh to evaluate effect agronomic weed management practices on crop growth rate (CGR) relative (RGR) direct seeded rice. Twenty-four treatment combinations consisting two mulching viz. no mulch live (brown manuring with Sesbania) nitrogen levels (120 kg ha-1, 150 ha-1&nbs...

Sesbania mosaic virus (SeMV) is a single strand positive-sense RNA plant virus that belongs to the genus Sobemovirus. The mechanism of cell-to-cell movement in sobemoviruses has not been well studied. With a view to identify the viral encoded ancillary proteins of SeMV that may assist in cell-to-cell movement of the virus, all the proteins encoded by SeMV genome were cloned into yeast Matchmake...
