ss as: Sa t bark. Abstract Biosorption of nickel ions from aqueous solutions by modified loquat bark waste (MLB) has been investigated in a batch biosorption process. The biosorbent MLB was characterized by FTIR analysis. The extent of biosorption of Ni(II) ions was found to be dependent on solution pH, initial nickel ions concentration, biosorbent dose, contact time, and temperature. The exper...

We examined the inhibitory effects of loquat methanol extract on the adhesion, migration, invasion and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activities of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell line. Cells were cultured with DMSO or with 10, 25, or 50 microg/ml of loquat methanol extract. Both leaf and seed extracts significantly inhibited growth of MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner, although l...

Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) leaf extract exhibits bioactive properties against a variety of diseases. However, it remains unclear whether loquat can protect myoblasts from oxidative damage. To investigate the protective effect ethanol (LE) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced stress in C2C12 murine and LE on cellular differentiation cells. inhibited H2O2-induced cytotoxicity reduced both expressio...

Leaf structural and physiological traits, nutrients, other functional properties reflect the ability of plants to self-regulate adapt environment. Species diversity can positively affect plant growth by improving habitat, offers mutual interspecies benefits. Therefore, optimizing types grown in a specific area is conducive achieving sustainable development goals for growth. In this study, compa...

Restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) was used to illuminate the genetic relationships among Eriobotrya species. The raw data were filtered, and 221 million clean reads were used for further analysis. A total of 1,983,332 SNPs were obtained from 23 Eriobotrya species and two relative genera. We obtained similar results by neighbor-joining and maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees...
