Grapevine (Vitis spp.) is one of the most important socio-economically plants in global scale, and need for its breeding increasing. In viticulture, mutation more promising than crossbreeding new genotypes from natural genetic diversity. Polyploid outperform their diploid relatives several respects. this study, efficacy oryzalin N2O mutagens induction polyploidy was investigated by applying dif...

Vitis vinifera L.is a traditional Asian herb widely used for different health problems. In thepresent research, the ethanolic and the aqueous extracts of Vitis vinifera L. leaves collected fromshrub, grown in Tunisia, were prepared and evaluated for the antileishmanial activity againstLeishmani ainfantum promastigotes. The inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) was determined andthe results showed ...

The present study was designed to evaluate the phytochemical profile and the anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-convulsant activity of methanolic extracts of Allium sativum, L.(peel of the bulb), Arachis hypogaea, L. (fruit shell), Citrus limon, L. (rind of the fruit), Punica granatum, L.(rind of the fruit) and Vitis vinifera, L.( seed).

Methylobacterium sp. strain GXF4 is an isolate from grapevine. Here we present the sequence, assembly, and annotation of its genome, which may shed light on its role as a grapevine xylem inhabitant. To our knowledge, this is the first genome announcement of a plant xylem-associated strain of the genus Methylobacterium.

Appearance of a lag period dependent on pH in the expression of the catecholase activity of a polyphenoloxidase extracted in a latent state from Airen grape (Vitis vinifera L.) berries, is revealed, suggesting the hysteretic nature of the enzyme. The lag time was independent of enzyme concentration, indicating that slow pH-induced conformational changes in the protein must occur during assay. R...

The mitochondrial genome of grape (Vitis vinifera), the largest organelle genome sequenced so far, is presented. The genome is 773,279 nt long and has the highest coding capacity among known angiosperm mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs). The proportion of promiscuous DNA of plastid origin in the genome is also the largest ever reported for an angiosperm mtDNA, both in absolute and relative terms. In a...
