We applied genome-wide profiling to successive salt-extracted fractions of micrococcal nuclease-treated Drosophila chromatin. Chromatin fractions extracted with 80 mM or 150 mM NaCl after digestion contain predominantly mononucleosomes and represent classical "active" chromatin. Profiles of these low-salt soluble fractions display phased nucleosomes over transcriptionally active genes that are ...

The moderating role of salicylic acid (SA) and putrescine (PUS) as plant growth regulators (PGRs), on the growth parameters and phytochemical and qualitative characteristics of strawberry fruit 'Selva' under osmotic stress was investigated under soilless culture. The osmotic potential (salinity) of the nutrient solution containing different NaCl concentrations (0, 7.5, 15, 30 and 45 mM) and fol...

In aortas of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), excessive dietary salt causes down-regulation of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) followed by decreased cyclic GMP production, which leads to impairment of the vascular relaxation response to nitric oxide (NO). The present study aimed to elucidate whether this impaired NO/cyclic GMP system results secondarily from increased blood pressure or f...

Etiolated pea (Pisum sativum) epicotyls synthesize a buffer-soluble cellulase (cellulase A) and a salt-soluble cellulase (cellulase B) (EC 3.2.1.4) after treatment with high (0.5%) auxin levels. Only cellulase A increased in activity after treatment with low (0.005%) auxin. Cellulase A was released into the supernatant after homogenization of tissue in dilute buffer (buffer-soluble), had a pH o...

Fish gelatin has been increasingly used as a safe alternative to cattle and pig due its similar structure, avoiding the health socio-cultural issues associated with use of materials mammalian origin. can be produced from processed fish products achieve high yield at low cost. Recent studies show that although comes wide range sources, protein content amino acid composition different sources are...

Equinatoxin II (EqTxII) is a cytolytic, water-soluble protein which binds to and forms cation-selective pores in lipid membranes. To characterize the native and denatured states of EqTxII and to elucidate the biological role of its oligomers, we have studied salt-dependent heat-induced conformational transitions of EqTxII. To this end, we have employed a variety of experimental techniques, incl...

The present investigation to evaluate the impact of melatonin on physiological, biochemical characters and yield potential cassava under salt stress condition. study was carried out in variety Sree Athulya with nine treatments 120mM NaCl Different viz., sett treatment foliar application 100 ppm done at 30 60 DAP crop growth. Control (salt + no melatonin) absolute control (no also maintained for...

Seeds from eight different maize genotypes (BR3123, BR5004, BR5011, BR5026, BR5033, CMS50, D766 and ICI8447) were sown in vermiculite, and after germination they were transplanted into nutrient solution or nutrient solution containing 100 mmol.L-1 of NaCl and placed in a greenhouse. During the experimental period plant growth (dry matter, shoot to root dry mass ratio, leaf area, relative growth...
