The extremely homogeneous organization of the transposon family Tam3 in Antirrhinum majus is in sharp contrast to the heterogeneity of the copies constituting many other transposon families. To address the issue of the Tam3 structural uniformity, we examined two possibilities: (1) recent invasion of Tam3 and (2) failure of gap repair, which is involved in conversion from autonomous forms to def...

In continuous populations with local migration, nearby pairs of individuals have on average more similar genotypes than geographically well-separated pairs. A barrier to gene flow distorts this classical pattern of isolation by distance. Genetic similarity is decreased for sample pairs on different sides of the barrier and increased for pairs on the same side near the barrier. Here, we introduc...

Antirrhinum majus, Flavonoid Biosynthesis, Flavanone Oxidase, Apigenin, Luteolin Enzyme preparations from flowers of Antirrhinum majus catalysed the oxidation of naringenin to apigenin and of eriodictyol to luteolin. Enzyme activity was found to be localized in the microsomal fraction. The reaction required NADPH as cofactor and had a pH optimum of about 7.0. The NADPH-dependent microsomal enzy...

The use of a radiosensitizing and anti-angiogenic agents might augment the efficiency of cancer radiotherapy. Therefore, the anti-angiogenic and radiosensitizing potency of Chelidonium majus (C. majus; CM) ethanolic extract was examined in the current study. Ehrlich ascites Carcinoma (EAC) cells were inoculated into mice to induce an experimental model of solid tumors. Mice with well developed ...

Drought, salinization and heavy metal pollution of soils are main stress factors with an increasing impact on the deterioration soil quality, yield crop quality. Seed priming shows good results in improving seed germination, seedling growth plant development. Proline (Pro) metyl jasmonate (MeJA) show stimulating activity help plants overcome stress. The study investigated effect Pro, MeJA hydro...

Chelidonium majus is a well-known source of biologically active compounds. Most them are alkaloids, which used in researches and for tradition medicine. In this study, we explored the influence C. crude total extract onto blood coagulation system vitro, primary secondary hemostasis. Aim. To study process. Methods. Turbidimetry plasma, APTT test with chromogenic substrates, platelet aggregation ...

Cholelithiasis is the commonest diseases of Gall bladder which remains asymptomatic and often an incidental finding presents as Right upper Quadrant pain, yellow coloured urine, jaundice or Clay stools. The incidence more among women when compared to men due influence Estrogen Progestrone fluctuations. increase also associated with Polycystic Ovarian disease leading Irregular cycles. Homeopathi...
