Fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) are non-oxidative metabolites of ethanol that accumulate in human tissues upon ethanol intake. Although FAEEs are considered as toxic metabolites causing cellular dysfunction and tissue damage, the enzymology of FAEE metabolism remains poorly understood. In this study, we used a biochemical screen in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to identify and characterize putative ...

this study involves in vitro androgenesis of zea maysl. via anther culture. combination of two embryoinduction media (imss & ypm) in presence of different colchicine concentrations (0, 100, 200, 250, 300and 400 mg/l ) in the pretreatment medium (iml) andpretreatment duration (0, 3, 6 and 9 days) in twogenotypes (dh5×dh7 and eth-m82) were tested.after colchicine pretreatment, anthers were tr...

An efficient in vitro protocol was standardized for Almond (Prunus dulcis) propagation using dormant axillary buds as explants. Explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) and woody plant medium (WPM) supplemented with different concentration/combination(s) of phytohormones. MS basal medium showed lowest shoot induction and took longest duration for shoot initiation. Multiple shoots were...

The effects of increasing NaCl concentrations on biomass, superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) in Jatropha curcas L. seedlings were investigated. The fresh weights of cotyledons and radicles with increasing NaCl concentrations decreased progressively, and the fresh weight of hypocotyls reached the lowest level at NaCl concentration ...

Object-oriented database programming languages use a data model that, by its nature, leads to a hierarchical organisation of persistent data. The Multigranularity Locking (MGL) protocol is the concurrency control framework that allows to better analyse concurrent accesses to such hierarchy of data items. Furthermore, modern Object–Oriented Database Management Systems are organised accordingly t...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different growing mediums {sand, peat moss, and mix (sand + moss 1:1 v/v)} spraying with 0,100 150 mg L-1 humic acid on vegetative root parameters “Wonderful” pomegranate hardwood cuttings at Bakrejo nursery station, Sulaimania city, Iraq in 2021. They were planted polyethylene black bags 15-3-2021. Using randomized complete block design...

The current study was carried out to evaluate the effect of some growth retardants such as alar, ethrel, cycocel and paclobutrazol with different concentrations (50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm.) on maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV) in vitro and in vivo. In vitro experiment, growth retardants reduced the occurrence of mosaic symptoms on maize plants. These percentages were reduced to 40%. Paclobutrazol ...

Obesity is a chronic health condition characterized by the accumulation of excessive body fat which can lead to and exacerbate cardiovascular disease, type-II diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer through systemic inflammation. Unfortunately, visualizing key mediators inflammatory response, such as monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), in selective manner profound cha...

An efficient method has been developed for large-scale multiplication of Curculigo orchioides (Hypoxidaceae), an endangered medicinal plant, through direct bulbil formation from leaf explants in shake flask cultures. Leaf-segments (7 x 10 mm) were cultured in B5 liquid medium containing KNO3 (200 mgNL-1), (NH4)2SO4 (50 mgNL-1), benzyl adenosine (2.2 microM), adenine (0.11 mM), indole butyric ac...
