BACKGROUND The extract from Moringa oleifera seeds is used worldwide, especially in rural areas of developing countries, to treat drinking water. M. oleifera seeds contain the lectins cmol and WSMoL, which are carbohydrate-binding proteins that are able to reduce water turbidity because of their coagulant activity. Studies investigating the ability of natural products to damage normal cells are...

Laccase (LAC) is the key enzyme responsible for lignin biosynthesis. Here, 57 PgLACs from pomegranate were identified and distributed on eight chromosomes one unplaced scaffold. They divided into six groups containing three typical Cu-oxidase domains. Totally, 51 cis-acting elements in promoter region of are involved response to ABA, GA, light, stress, etc., indicating diverse functions PgLACs....

The entrapped pomegranate extract or collagen hydrolysate increased, respectively, the ferric ion reducing power ACE-inhibitory effect of gels after in vitro gastrointestinal digestion.

Pomegranate fruits are highly diverse and may be divided into geographical groupings based on their characteristics. Genetic research has verified these categories in recent years further categorized variants geographic-genetic groupings. This study aimed to assess the biochemical contents of eight varieties pomegranate fruit seed categorization using multivariate statistical analysis. Polyphen...

Background. Miguel Hernandez University (Spain) created a germplasm bank of the varieties of pomegranate from different Southeastern Spain localities in order to preserve the crop's wide genetic diversity. Once this collection was established, the next step was to characterize the phenotype of these varieties to determine the phenotypic variability that existed among all the different pomegrana...
