BACKGROUND TRR14 protein is a small protein, a member of a multigene family in Arabidopsis which was found as the fi rst protein during screening seedlings for their resistant to the trehalose sugar. OBJECTIVES A number of TRR14-overexpressing plants were subjected to the characterization in the present research, among which, the associated morphological features and changes accompany growth ...

salinity is the major limiting factor for plant growth and crop productivity. salt stress is effective on physiological characteristics, morphology, anatomy, chemical composition and water content of plant tissue. pulses are the second of food source after the cereals for human. among the pulses, the bean has special importance. in order to investigate the effect of silicon on the physiological...

This study used three-dimensional (3D) micro-computed tomography (μCT) imaging to examine petal form variation in a hybrid cross of Sinningia speciosa between a cultivar with actinomorphic flowers and a variety with zygomorphic flowers. The major objectives were to determine the genotype-phenotype associations between the petal form variation and CYCLOIDEA2-like alleles in S. speciosa (SsCYC) a...

We used comparative developmental morphology to study the evolution of nonpapilionaceous corollas in the amorphoid clade of the tribe Amorpheae (Papilionoideae). This clade consists of five genera in which there are no papilionaceous corollas (five petals differentiated into one banner, two wing, and two keel petals). We studied the ontogenies of three nonpapilionaceous forms: corollas consisti...

Flowers are vital for attracting pollinators to plants and in horticulture for humans. Petal morphogenesis is a central process of floral development. Petal development can be divided into three main processes: the establishment of organ identity in a concentric pattern, primordia initiation at fixed positions within a whorl, and morphogenesis, which includes petal elongation through the narrow...

Protein profile, in vitro gastrointestinal digestion and antioxidant potential of two fresh cheese samples obtained by kombucha inoculum traditional starter culture have been investigated this study. There is a significant difference protein profile bioactive between samples. Kombucha contains higher proportion protein, predominantly the casein fractions (α-casein β-casein) compared to culture....

The aim of this study was to extract chicken leg bone, which is a by-product of industrial poultry processing, using different heating temperatures (80, 90 and 100°C) and durations (5, 10 and 15 min). The pH value, soluble protein content, peptide content and antioxidative properties, including superoxide anion scavenging ability, 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging ab...

Abstract In view of extending the relatively brief postharvest life flowers by a range technologies, present study elucidates implication 6-benzylamino purine (BAP), kinetin (KN) and thidiazuron (TDZ) on performance flower longevity isolated Calendula officinalis. BAP KN belong to adenine group cytokinins while as TDZ is diphenyl urea compound having cytokinin like activity. The harvested were ...

PURPOSE In our previous study, Ag+-loaded TiO2 and Ag+-loaded SiO2 coatings for tracheal intubation were prepared to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), but the antimicrobial targets and the underlying mechanisms of TiO2 and Ag-TiO2 (Ag+) are still unclear. We attempted to elucidate the antimicrobial activity and potential mechanisms against Staphylococcus aureus. METHODOLOGY The s...

drought stress is one of the most important factors limiting the survival and growth of plants in the different habitats of iran. detailed knowledge about the ecophysiological responses of native plants to drought stress could contribute to the success of breeding and re-vegetation programs. six wild populations of anthemis tinctoria, were assigned to four drought treatments, i.e. well-watered ...
