abstract background antibiotic resistance makes antimicrobial peptides (amps) agents an alternative for treatment of pathogenic diseases. they are isolated from various animals invertebrates, vertebrates and plants. the present study shows the electrophoretic pattern of protein and peptides from vicia faba seed and reports our first attempt to study the antibacterial activity of vicia faba seed...

Oaks (Quercus spp.) are considered model plants for studying plant evolution and natural gene introgression. Beijing area is at the junction between Taihang Mountain Yanshan Mountain, it an overlapping distribution of several deciduous oaks native to China. Interspecific hybridization often occurs in sympatric sibling species, resulting blurred interspecific boundaries hindering development bre...

The effect of fluridone on the growth of plants and drought stressinduced abscisic acid (ABA) accumulation were studied in mature leaf tissue of Vicia faba L. plants grown under different light intensity. Drought stress was induced by allowing the leaves to lose 12% of fresh weight. Treatment of Vicia plants (grown at high light intensity – 600μmol.m-2.s-1) with 10μmoles fluridone caused a cons...

Growth of several cyanobacteria was examined on ethane sulfonate and taurine as only sulfur source. Comparing two strains with differential utilization of sulfonic acids (Anabaena variabilis and Synechococcus 6301) demonstrated that actual growth was coupled to the presence of an active sulfonate transport system due to species specific properties and nutritional conditions. Sulfonate uptake in...

Quercus variabilis Blume is one of the most ecologically valuable tree species in China and known to have adaptive mechanisms climate change. Our objective was quantify variation pattern fruit morphology Q. variabilis. Fruit samples were collected from 43 natural populations autumn 2019. results indicated that coefficient (CV) length (FL) width (FW) 10.08% 11.21%, respectively. There significan...
