Pelargonium zonate spot virus (PZSV) is identified recently in tomato plants in the United States. To develop serological diagnostic tools for the detection of this virus, the production of good quality antibodies is a necessity. The coat protein (CP) gene of a California isolate of PZSV was cloned into a bacterial expression vector (pTriEX-4 Ek/LIC). The plasmid pTriEX-4-PZSV-CP was transforme...

establishment of plant organ cultures. Since then protocols have been developed for cultivating many genera of carnivorous plants in vitro, including: Aldrovanda, Byblis, Cephalotus, Darlingtonia, Dionaea, Drosera, Drosophyllum, Genlisea, Heliamphora, Nepenthes, Pinguicula, Sarracenia, and Utricularia. However, the purposes for growing carnivorous plants in vitro are quite diverse. It is useful...

background: natural products are proved to play a good role as an alternative to synthetic chemicals in clinical conditions. previous studies showed that pelargonium graveolens has anti-inflammatory and antifungal activity against candida albicans . the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of essential oil of pelargonium graveolens in the treatment of denture stomatitis . materials an...

A simple versatile method for the conversion of benzy1idene)-hydrazines to 1 -aryl-phthalazines using polyphosphate ester (PPE) is described 1 -aroyl-2-( substituted Podophyllotoxin ( I ) , a cytotoxic constituent of the plant species podophyllum peltatum has attracted considerable research activities, which culminated in the synthesis of tenoposides, and etoposides, which are now clinically us...
