Tyrosinase is a type 3 copper enzyme that catalyzes the ortho-hydroxylation of monophenols to diphenols as well as their subsequent oxidation to quinones, which are precursors for the biosynthesis of melanins. The first plant tyrosinase from walnut leaves (Juglans regia) was purified to homogeneity and crystallized. During the purification, two forms of the enzyme differing only in their C-term...

We investigated the composition of free amino acids in walnut (Juglans regia L.) seeds (embryo and cotyledons). We also examined xylem transport of free amino acids in young seedlings grown in the absence of external nutrients. A relatively high concentration of free alanine was found in seed tissue, whereas a relatively high concentration of citrulline was detected in young seedlings. Citrulli...

Dyeing properties of different fabric species were investigated using leaf extract Juglans regia L. For this purpose, the cotton and wool fabrics dyed brown napthaquinon colorant extracted from walnut leaves by pre-mordanting, meta-mordanting post-mordanting methods in presence copper sulfate (CuSO4.5H2O), ferrous (FeSO4.7H2O) alum (AIK(SO4)2.12H2O) at medium pH. Color codes determined with Pan...

There is an urgent and continuous need to discover new sources of medicinal plants obtain useful compounds with health properties. So the purpose this study was investigate activity Olea europaea L Juglans regia leaves extract on Hela cell line viability, antidiabetic Antiglycation. The aqueous extracts were obtained from leaves. Alloxan 180 mg /kg body used induce diabetes. Mice blood glucose ...

The current study was undertaken to evaluate in vitro the antileishmanial activity of three plants growing wild in Algeria : Juglans regia, Lawsonia inermis and Salvia officinalis. The hydroalcoholic extracts of these plants were tested on the growth of the promastigotes of Leishmania major. The plant extract effects were compared with three controls : CRL1 composed of 1 ml RPMI inoculated with...

Cadmium (Cd) and selenium (Se) could jointly affect plant growth. To investigate the of Se on Cd accumulation in Juglans regia physiological mechanism by which regulates Cd-induced oxidative stress, this study, effects different foliar application doses (0 (Se0), 20 (Se20), 200 (Se200) ?M) J. (variety Xinfeng) seedlings under stress (5 mM) were determined. The results show that exogenous (Se20 ...

The purpose of this project was to use and improve current walnut tissue culture methodology to generate plants from somatic embryos and from mature Juglans regia cultivars. Ninty-eight somatic embryo derived plants are now in soil. Fiftyfour of these are derived from the same embryogenic line. Plants from the same line are phenotypically uniform with the exception of 15% which exhibit thickene...

The aim of this study was to assess the phenolic composition and nutraceutical potential of tinctures from fruits in two stages of maturity (F3, younger; F25, older), green husks (GH), and leaves (L) of Juglans regia L. In all extracts gallic, protocatechuic, 3-caffeoylquinic, 3-ρ-coumaroylquinic, 4-caffeoylquinic, 4-ρ-coumaroylquinic, and ρ -coumaric acids and quercetin-3-O-deoxyhexoside were ...
