intercropping is considered as a method for increasing yield per unit and stability. in order to evaluate the effects of phosphorous biofertilizer and chemical phosphorous on fodder quality of corn (zea mays l.) and grass pea (lathyrus sativa l.) intercropping, two field experiments were conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications at two places simult...

BACKGROUND Collectrin, a homologue of angiotensin converting enzyme 2, is expressed in pancreatic beta cells and renal proximal tubular and collecting duct cells under the control of hepatocyte nuclear factors-1alpha and -1beta. Because collectrin interacts with the soluble N-ethylmaleiamide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complexes, we investigated whether collectrin is in...

1. Soluble ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) activity is released when rat liver submitochondrial particles are shaken with chloroform, provided that ATP or glycerol is present in the suspending medium. The extraction is very rapid and appears to be complete. 2. The ATPase of the chloroform extract is about 50% pure and can be readily purified to a specific activity of 60-70mumol/min per mg of ...

background: dense granule antigens (gra antigens) of toxoplasma gondii induce strong antibody response in humans and are considered as useful diagnostic antigens. previous studies reported expression of amino terminal gra8 protein in fusion with large tags such as glutathione-s-transferase. the present study aimed to produce soluble full length immunogenic gra8 in bacteria. methods: gra8 comple...

In the presence of a soluble organic salt containing non-coordinating anion (e.g., [bmim][SbF(6)] or [NR(4)][SbF(6)]), the catalytic activity of Lewis acid (MX(n)) was dramatically enhanced due to the anion exchange between the Lewis acid and organic salt.

Thioredoxin (TRX) is a small molecule protein that participates in the redox process and plays decisive role various functions of plants. However, TRX Medicago sativa (alfalfa), widely cultivated perennial herb legume, still poorly understood. Here, we isolated MsTRX from alfalfa determined characteristics improving salt tolerance by assaying phenotype physiological changes expression stress-re...

Nebulin is about 800 kDa filamentous protein that binds the entire thin filament of vertebrate skeletal muscle sarcomeres. Nebulin cannot be isolated from muscle except in a completely denatured form by direct solubilization of myofibrils with SDS because nebulin is hardly soluble under salt conditions. In the present study, nebulin was solubilized by a salt solution containing 1 M urea and pur...

Maize genotype (Zea mays L) single cross 124 was grown in water culture in presence or absence of 150 mM NaCl for 15 days. Inhibition of plant growth and modification of plant morphology are the most sensitive responses of maize plant to salt stress. The growth of the 4 leaf 5,7,9,11 and 13 d after stress th application of NaCl was strongly reduced in comparison to their corresponding control. ...
