The plant hormones cytokinins (CKs) regulate multiple developmental and physiological processes in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Responses to CKs vary in different organs and tissues (e.g. the response to CKs has been shown to be opposite in shoot and root samples). However, the tissue-specific targets of CKs and the mechanisms underlying such specificity remain largely unclear. Here, we ...

A study was performed to study the effect of drought stress on protein changes of five wheat genotypes. Wheat genotypes were planted in early November, growing season of 2008-2009. The experiment was carried out in a factotial design with three replications. Two drought stress levels (irrigated and Non irrigated) and five genotype of wheat (F103-L-1-12//PONY/OPATA, F1.158/FDL//BLO/3/SH14414/CRO...

in conventional agricultural systems application of fungicide and pesticides for seed treatment had been extended in wide range. this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of seed treatment on seed vigor indices on back cross roshan of wheat cultivar in vitro status during 2007. the experiment was done in a completely randomized factorial design with eight replications. treatment were inc...

AbstractThis study was undertaken to better understand the probable mechanisms of salt stress tolerance induced by seed priming of salicylic acid (SA) in barley. The barley seeds were pre-soaked by SA or water and then sown under different saline watering regimes including 0.62 (tapwater), 5, 10 and 15 dS m-1 in petri dishes and trend of water absorbing, seedling growth, germination rate and pe...

the effect of different storage temperatures on senescence and postharvest performance in cut scapes of three iris species (iris germanica, iris reticulata and iris kashmiriana) was studied with the aim to develop a cost-effective storage protocol so as to bring out the transportation of these cut flowers. the scapes were subjected to two different storage treatments-dry storage and wet storage...

Estimation of protein stability is important for many reasons: first providing an understanding of the basic thermodynamics of the process of folding, protein engineering, and protein stability plays important role in biotechnology especially in food and protein drug design. Today, proteins are used in many branches, including industrial processes, pharmaceutical industry, and medical fields. A...

Dioscorin is one of the major soluble proteins in yam tubers. Unlike other well-known plant storage proteins, such as patatin and sporamin, dioscorin is argued for its function as storage proteins, and the molecular mechanisms underlying its expressional complexity are little understood. In this study, we isolated five dioscorin genes from Dioscorea alata L., comprising three class A (Da-dio1, ...

introduction: proteins play a fundamental role in biological systems and are often sensitive against organic solvents, heat and other damaging factors. proteins are the basic component of food formulations and enhancement the functional characteristics and stability of the proteins has always been the main goal of food industry engineers. one of the natural ways used for protein modifications i...
