Rubisco is a very large, complex and one of the most abundant proteins in the world and comprises up to 50% of all soluble protein in plants. The activity of Rubisco, the enzyme that catalyzes CO2 assimilation in photosynthesis, is regulated by Rubisco activase (Rca). In the present study, we searched for hypothetical protein of Vitis vinifera which has putative Rubisco activase function. The A...

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 ...

providing healthy food and protecting sources from pollution has been one of the concerns of human societies and decision – making centers so that protecting food from pollution, detecting sources of pollution and measuring them become important. because of nutritive and political significance of grape in this area, extensive use of leaf and fruit of this plant, developing urban areas around gr...

Reports have shown the antioxidant, hypotensive, hypolipidemic and vasodilatory effects of grape (Vitis vinifera L.) seed extract. We have recently shown the relaxatory effect of grape leaf extract on rat uterus and reduction of frog heart rate and contractility. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relaxant effect of Vitis vinifera leaf hydroalcoholic extract (VLHE) on rat thora...

Factors influencing Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of 15 Vitis rotundifolia, Vitis rupestris, Vitis vinifera and Vitis hybrids were explored. A green fluorescent protein/neomycin phosphotransferase II (GFP/NPT II) fusion gene was used to measure transient and stable transgene expression levels. Embryogenic cell cultures at different developmental stages were co-cultivated with Agrobacter...

The fractions of different polarity, namely chloroform, ethylacetate, n-butanol, and remaining water fractions, were fractionated from an aqueous extract of V. vinifera leaves. The antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant activities, and total phenolic content of these fractions were investigated. The chloroform fraction showed a promising effect against Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HS...

Hydroponically grown ten grape genotypes (Vitis vinifera L.) were treated with different concentrations of NaCl. Chawga genotype accumulated K+ in its root and shoot even at high salinity. The correlation between Na+ and K+ concentrations in root and lamina of all genotypes was negative (P
