An enzyme of unknown function within the amidohydrolase superfamily was discovered to catalyze the hydrolysis of N-6-substituted adenine derivatives, several of which are cytokinins. Cytokinins are a common type of plant hormone and N-6-substituted adenines are also found as modifications to tRNA. Patl2390, from Pseudoalteromonas atlantica T6c, was shown to hydrolytically deaminate N-6-isopente...

Aloe vera is one of the most popular cactus-type plants in global market due to its widespread uses pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and decorative purposes. The present study derived callus cultures from plant leaves, then reproduced on agar-solidified MS medium June December 2021 at University Mosul, Iraq. Results revealed that + 3.0 mg L-1 benzyl adenine (BA) proved suitable for induction lea...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of certain nutrient medium types enhanced with plant-growth regulators on direct inductionof somatic embryogenesis in vegetative strains produced and propagated from a tissue culture Digitalis purpurea. The results showthat MS was superior other tested media-B5, LS, 5C01—in terms days required initiate somaticembryogenesis induction rate. In contrast,...

This study was conducted during the growing season of 2021 and 2022 in horticulture station located at Akre city center Duhok Iraqi Kurdistan region, aimed to investigate effect growth regulators on seedling apricot determined best concentration Gibberellin, Benzyl adenine Kinetin improve vegetative . so it consisted three GA3 (0, 250 500 mg.L-1), BA (0,150 300 KIN mg.L-1) some characteristics ...

The investigation aimed to study the effect of foliar application chemicals on plant canopy, vegetative growth and flowering, as well overall appearance Ixora chinensis plants grown in pot. Application salicylic acid, benzyl adenine silicon at different concentrations significantly influenced growth, pigments compared untreated (control). Plants treated with 10 mg/l 20 acid showed significant i...

A new flavooxidase is described from a Bjerkandera arthroconidial anamorph. Its physicochemical characteristics, a monomeric enzyme containing non-covalently bound flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), and several catalytic properties, such as oxidation of aromatic and polyunsaturated aliphatic primary alcohols, are similar to those of Pleurotus eryngii aryl-alcohol oxidase (AAO). However, it also...

The metabolism of the rat esophageal carcinogen A/-nitrosomethylbenzylamine (NMBzA) was studied using microsomes prepared from liver and esophageal mucosa of untreated male Sprague-Dawley rats. NMBzA was extensively metabolized to benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, and formaldehyde by hepatic microsomes. The rate of metabolism at the benzyl moiety was 10-fold higher than that at the methyl moiety. M...

The dark green leaves of Sauropus androgynus (Euphorbiaceae) have various nutritive values and are commonly used for human consumption as food, medicine, natural dye substance in South-east Asia. Shoot cultures this plant were established by adding concentrations kinetin (Kn) benzyl adenine (BA) using nodal explants. best results recorded when Kn 0.1 mg/L was with BA 1 (BA1Kn0.1). Spectrophotom...
