The objective of this study was to investigate the role of β-aminobutyric acid(BABA) (0, 300µM) in reduction of oxidative damages in leaves and roots of Brassica napus L. under drought stress (0, -0.2, -0.4 MPa). β-aminobutyric acid was investigated as an internal regulator hormone and its role in defense  mechanisms against biotic and abioticstresses. In this study, BABA pretreatment prevented...

Macromolecular complexes of acrylamide and sodium acrylate copolymer with microelements, including Cu(II), may form at preparation crop protection stimulation compositions, where the serves as an adhesive, water-retaining film-forming agent. Preparations for production also contain amino acids that protect plants under stressful conditions (cold, dry, etc.). Carboxylic groups copolymer, carboxy...

in plants, γ-aminobutyric acid (gaba) is synthesized by polyamine degradation pathway besides gaba shunt. aminoguanidine (ag) is a specific inhibitor of the key enzyme (diamine oxidase, dao) for gaba formation in polyamine degradation pathway. in this study, ag was applied to study the functions of polyamine degradation pathway on growth and gaba accumulation in germinating fava bean under hypo...

gamma-amino butyric acid (gaba) possesses several physiological functions such as neurotransmission, induction of hypotension, diuretic and tranquilizer effects. production of gaba-enriched products by lactic acid bacteria has been a focus of different researches in recent years because of their safety and health-promoting specifities. in this study, glutamate decarboxylase (gad) gene of a loca...

background: there are some reports in the literature showing that hypothalamus synthesizes and secretes amino acid neurotransmitters. according to several studies, elevated serum levels of gamma-amino butyric acid (gaba), a potent inhibitory neurotransmitter, have recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of neural diseases. the purpose of this research was to estimate the effects of curcumi...

sodium valproate and tomato extract have been studied in different experimental models of epilepsy individually. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of lycopene on the antiepileptic effects of sodium valproate against pentylenetetrazol-induced kindling in mice. swiss albino mice of either sex were randomly divided into 5 groups, with each group containing 8 mice. these group...
