BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammation of the intestinal epithelium that is driven by the intestinal immune system, oxidative stress and the loss of tolerance to the luminal microbiota. The use of dietary products containing ingredients such as fibres and carbohydrates and/or antioxidant compounds have been used as a therapeutic strategy for intestinal diseases be...

Rhizomes are organs of fundamental importance to plant competitiveness and invasiveness. We have identified genes expressed at substantially higher levels in rhizomes than other plant parts, and explored their functional categorization, genomic organization, regulatory motifs, and association with quantitative trait loci (QTLs) conferring rhizomatousness. The finding that genes with rhizome-enr...

background: ginger rhizome (zingiber officinale r., family: zingiberaceae) is used medicinally and as a culinary spice. the medicinal use of ginger dates back to ancient china and india. objective: ginger and its constituents are stated to have antiemetic, antithrombotic, antihepatotoxic, anti-inflammatory, stimulant, cholagogue and antioxidant.enhanced oxidative stress and changes in antioxida...

no sufficient of chilling is a major problem in producing temperate fruit in warm climates. so determination of chilling requirement of different cultivars of grape is important. the aim of this research was determination of chilling requirement of four grape vine commercial cultivars including: kolahdary, red rasin, yaghoti and white rasin that factorial experiment based on a completely random...

The present investigation was carried out in the fruit nursery, Department of Fruit Science, College Horticulture and Forestry, Neri, Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh w.e.f., June, 2019−July, 2020. In two factors viz., time wedge grafting (mid-June, mid-July, mid-August, mid-September, mid-February mid-March) use polycap (Graft union covered with or without polycap) were studied to standardize ideal ...

The aim of the study was to elucidate the therapeutic effects of Atracylodes rhizome polysaccharide on adenine-induced chronic renal failure in rats. Fifty male Sprague Dawley rats were selected and randomly divided in to 5 groups (n=10 rats per group): The normal control group, the chronic renal failure pathological control group, the dexamethasone treatment group and two Atracylodes rhizome p...

The movement and mobilisation of phosphorus in various tissues of banana was studied using P. The isotope was given by pseudostem injection and activity measured in various tissues. It was inferred that the male inflorescence, rhizome, fruit and fruit peduncle are the major nutrient sinks. The activity pattern in different hands showed that the highest activity was in the fourth followed by the...

Rapid and extensive rhizome development is a desirable trait for perennial grass growth and adaptation to environmental stresses. The objective of this study was to determine proteomic changes and associated metabolic pathways of gibberellin (GA) -regulation of rhizome elongation in two perennial grass species differing in rhizome development. Plants of a short-rhizome bunch-type tall fescue (T...

This experiment was conducted, during a seven-week period to investigate, the effects of using various levels of garlic cloves and turmeric rhizome powders, on laying hens’ performance, egg quality characteristics and cholesterol content in yolk. Two hundred and sixteen, 27-weeks old Novogen white laying hens were assigned randomly into nine treatments with eight replicates of three birds each....
