Jellyfish (Rhopilema esculentum) was hydrolyzed using alcalase, and two peptides with angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory and antioxidant activities were purified by ultrafiltration and consecutive chromatographic methods. The amino acid sequences of the two peptides were identified as VKP (342 Da) and VKCFR (651 Da) by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The IC50 val...

Many plants which are found commonly and are mentioned in texts of traditional Indian medicine have not been investigated thoroughly. It is necessary to conduct systematic evaluation, standardization, documentation and patenting of these plants. Oxystelma esculentum R. Br. (Family – Asclepiadaceae), commonly known as ‘Jaldudhi’, is one such plant which has not been studied sufficiently. It has ...

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a recurrent inflammatory bowel disease that imposes a severe burden on families and society. In recent years, exploiting the potential of marine bioactive peptides for treatment diseases has become topic intense research interest. This study revealed mechanism underlying protective effect dominant polypeptide PKKVV of Rhopilema es...

1 Norms It is correct to believe that Steinbeck wrote East of Eden, incorrect to believe that Updike wrote Cannery Row. It is right to believe that tomatoes are a fruit, wrong to believe that apples are a vegetable. More generally, true beliefs are correct or right, false beliefs are incorrect or wrong. This suggests that a norm of truth governs the state or attitude of belief. Since it is wron...

In flowering plants, pollen grains are produced in the anther and released to the external environment with the primary function of delivering sperm cells to the female gametophyte. This study was conducted to identify proteins in tomato pollen and to analyse their roles in relation to pollen function. Tomato is an important crop which is grown worldwide and is an excellent experimental system....

The study was conducted to adapt and evaluate the performance of improved bee forage recommend best performing species for honey production at Haro Sabu districts from 2013-2014 G.C. evaluated plant were Medicago sativa , Phocilia indicum, Melilotus officinalis, Trifolium ruppellianum Fagophyrum japonicum, esculentum, Coriandrum sativum Sinaps alba which sown on station with Randomized complete...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been a global health problem in recent years. CKD patients often restrict their potassium (K) intake to avoid the high risk of hyperkalemia. In this study, quantitative K management hydroponics was adopted produce low cherry-type tomato (Solanum lycopersicom L.) fruit. The total quantity supply per plant during cultivation 7.2 g (1 K), 3.6 (1/2 1.8 (1/4 0.9 (1/8...

Ferredoxin-glutamate synthase was localized in leaves and cotyledons of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum, cv Hellfrucht früshstamm) seedlings by immunocytochemical methods. The present work established that the enzyme was not only a constituent of chloroplast stroma of the mesophyll cells, but also of the cells of xylem parenchyma and epidermis.
