Kazakh dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz, Tk) is a rubber-producing plant currently being investigated as a source of natural rubber for industrial applications. Like many other isoprenoids, rubber is a downstream product of the mevalonate pathway. The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR) enzyme catalyzes the conversion of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA to mevalonic acid, a key regulat...

The growth of the flowering stalk of dandelion, Taraxacuwm officiiwle, is of considerable interest because of the presence of two distinct periods of rapid growth. The last of these precedes and accompanies the maturation of the fruit, and represents a resumption of rapid growth in what would normally be considered a mature organ. MIYAKE (8, 9) showed that growth of the dandelion scape may be d...

A green synthesis for nanoleave, nanosheet, spindle-like, rugby-like, dandelion-like and flower-like CuO nanostructures (from 2D to 3D) is successfully achieved through simply hydrothermal synthetic method without the assistance of surfactant. The morphology of CuO nanostructures can be easily tailored by adjusting the amount of ammonia and the source of copper. By designing a time varying expe...

Bitter tastes are among the most salient of life's experiences--who can forget one's first encounter with dandelion milk or a stout beer? Studies of the genes underlying these tastes are providing new perspectives on human origins and health.

P ediatrician and researcher W. Thomas Boyce described children as falling into two essential camps when it comes to anxiety—they’re either dandelions or orchids. Dandelion children, like the plant, are resistant stress anxiety tend thrive in variable conditions. Orchid more sensitive need additional support specific skills flourish various environments. Throughout world, our collective society...

This paper proposes a new mixed-integer model for the multi-skill resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MSRCPSP). The interactions between workers are represented as undirected networks. Therefore, for each required skill, an undirected network is formed which shows the relations of human resources. In this paper, community detection in networks is used to find the most compatible wo...

Abstract Background Taraxacum officinale , or the common dandelion, is a widespread perennial species recognized worldwide as lawn and garden weed. Common dandelion also cultivated for use in teas, edible greens, traditional medicine. It produces latex closely related to Russian T. kok-saghyz which being developed rubber crop. Additionally, vast majority of extant dandelions reproduce asexually...

The study is to investigate the effect of Taraxacum officinale extracts (TOE) supplementation on physical fatigue based on the forced swimming capacity in mice. Forty Kunming male mice were randomly divided into 4 groups, i.e., normal control (NC) and three doses of TOE treated group (High-dose, Middle-dose and Low-dose). Three TOE treated groups were treated by oral TOE with 10, 30 and 100mg/k...
