Silymarin from milk thistle inhibits skin inflammation by targeting gelatinases, with potential for treating skin disorders. It also reduces ear edema by 74%.
Researchers isolated new compounds from Zingiberaceae seeds, determining their structures and configurations. Some showed acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, potentially useful for neurological treatments.
Research in Malawi compared maize genotypes and management practices, finding hybrids yield better overall, but open pollinated varieties show more stability in specific conditions. Conservation Agriculture is recommended for improved outcomes. Farmers should weigh hybrid advantages and OPV adaptability based on their climate.
A new bacteria named MAHUQ-54 was found in eggplant soil. It has the potential to produce novel natural products. MAHUQ-54 is a unique species within its genus.
Chemical compounds from Sambucus nigra were used to create nanofabric doping/undoping nano-zinc oxide particles with anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects. Improved self-cleaning and UV-blocking properties were also observed.
Researchers studied gamma ray-induced mutations in cowpea to understand genomic changes. This knowledge can lead to the development of improved mutant varieties, aiding global agriculture.
Researchers studied four strains of that were causing diseases in hemp plants. The strains had genome sizes between 42.8 and 44.4 Mb and contained approximately 16,500 genes. Understanding these strains can help improve management of diseases in hemp crops.
HFD caused testicular injury in rats, affecting sperm parameters and increasing oxidative damage. MC extract may protect against these effects by inhibiting oxidative damage.
