Non-Toxic Elicitor, Phosphate Uptake, Amino Acid Uptake, Parsley (Petroselinum hortense) Cells Elicitor preparations derived from cell walls of phytopathogenic Alternaria spp. rapidly inhi­ bited uptake of both inorganic phosphate and amino acids by cultured parsley cells. The inhibition of phosphate uptake was completely reversed if the elicitor was removed within a time period of approximatel...

Hypercholesterolemia is commonly associated with obesity that leads to heart diseases and diabetes. The hepatocardioprotective activity of parsley and carob methanol extract was tested in hypercholesterolemic male rats. Twenty-four male albino rats were divided into four groups (n = 6). Group 1 was the negative control group fed with fat rich diet, group 2 (G2) was hypercholesterolemic rats fed...

Increased serum uric acid is known to be a major risk related to the development of several oxidative stress diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of parsley, quercetin and kaempferol on serum uric acid levels, liver xanthine oxidoreductase activity and two non-invasive biomarkers of oxidative stress (total antioxidant capacity and malondialdehyde concentration) in norma...

Application o f [6 14C]or [7-14C]nicotinic acid to parsley cell suspension cultures led to the accumulation of labelled nicotinamide m ononucleotide, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, nicotinamide N-riboside, nicotinamide and nicotinic acid, indicating the operation of the pyridine nucleotide cycle in these cells. A s main conjugates, nicotinic acid N-glucoside and nicotinic acid glucose ester...

Root colonization by plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can be increased depending on the type of rhizosphere. The aim of the present study was to determine fluorescent Pseudomonad diversity in lettuce, parsley, arugula and chicory. Roots from these rhizospheres were sampled at different properties of small commercial producers in Campinas, state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. In the diversity ...

Trans-Caffeoyl-CoA 3-O-methyltransferase is involved in the reinforcement of the plant cell wall under conditions that trigger the disease resistance response (Pakusch, A.-E., Kneusel, R.E., and Matern, U. (1989) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 271, 488-494). Partial amino acid sequences of the enzyme from cultured parsley cells that had been treated with a crude elicitor were identified (Pakusch, A.-E...
