dracocephalum kotschyi (lamiaceae), as one of the remarkable aromatic plants, widely grows and also is cultivated in various temperate regions of iran. there are diverse reports about the composition of the oil of this plant representing limonene derivatives as its major compounds. there is no report on cloning of mono- or sesquiterpene synthases from this plant. in the present study, the aroma...

introduction: polymorphism in genes involved in folate metabolism may cotribute to the susceptibility to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all). patients and methods : to examine the influence of polymorphism in thymidylate synthase (ts 28-bp repeat) and methionine synthase (ms a2756g) genes on the susceptibility to all, 73 children with all and 128 age and gender matched, unrelated healthy individ...

Heterozygosity is the major constraint in perennial fruit crop like mango for regular bearing breeding. Majority of popular varieties have irregular habit. Many external and internal factors affect habit crops. Among factors, level carbohydrate reserves phytohormones plays a role on crops apple, citrus, mango, litchi etc., Therefore, present research work aimed to study metabolism pathways geno...

Mentha is the major source of menthol used for many important commercial and pharmaceutical purposes. For enhanced production, this study aimed to assess influence foliar application Jasmine oil Methyl Jasmonate by 0.05 0.1% on gene expression, essential oil, its component especially Menthol in piperita L. Exogenously (MeJA) (JO) treatments induced alteration expression patterns which was detec...

Two chaperones, Atp23p and Atp10p, were previously shown to regulate the assembly of yeast mitochondrial ATP synthase, extra expression ATP23 was found partially rescue an atp10 deletion mutant, by unknown mechanism. Here, we identified that residues 112-115 (LRDK) required for its function in assisting demonstrated both functions Atp23p, processing subunit 6 precursor partial mutant. By chasin...

Variations in quantity and quality of essential oil (EO) from the aerial parts of cultivated Mentha piperita were determined. The EO of air-dried sample was obtained by a hydrodistillation method and analyzed by a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The antifungal activity of the EO was investigated by broth microdilution methods as recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Ins...

Certain species of pathogenic bacteria damage tissues by secreting cholesterol-dependent cytolysins, which form pores in the plasma membranes animal cells. However, reducing cholesterol protects cells against these cytolysins. As first committed step biosynthesis is catalyzed squalene synthase, we explored whether inhibiting this enzyme protected We synthesized 22 different nitrogen-containing ...

Background Leukocytes linked directly and indirectly to reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. Although leukocytospermia is defined as the presence of ≥1×106 white blood cells/mL (WBC/mL) in a semen sample, the presence of less than 1×106 WBC/mL (low-level leukocytospermia) still can produce a detectable amount of ROS, impairing sperm function and lowering the chances of pregnancy. Low concen...
