Study analyzed plant TCP genes' response to heat and drought stress, revealing their role in abiotic stress tolerance. Findings show upregulation under drought and salinity conditions, offering insight into gene evolution for stress tolerance.
Chilli veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV) causes damage in solanaceous crops. Study identified, characterized ChiVMV in tomato, showing genetic diversity and recombination events. LAMP assay for ChiVMV detection aids disease management in agriculture.
Butterfly pea flower extract (CTE) shows potential for treating diabetes and protecting the liver in rat models. It has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-diabetic properties. CTE improved liver function and reduced oxidative stress markers in rats with diabetes and dyslipidemia.
Pumpkin seed protein hydrolysate loaded in chitosan-alginate-CMC hydrogels showed better protection, release behavior, and antioxidant activity in simulated gastrointestinal environment. Multi-component hybrid systems are effective for bioactive compound protection.
Fruit and leaf extracts from medicinal plants show promise as potential anticancer drugs, inhibiting ovarian cancer cells and targeting key enzymes, offering new avenues for drug development.
Scientists identified and analyzed genes in pumpkins, finding them highly conserved and non-uniformly distributed across chromosomes. They respond to hormones and stress, with potential roles in growth and stress regulation. This study lays groundwork for future pumpkin research.
Catnip essential oil shows antimicrobial effects against various pathogens, including those that cause skin infections in dogs. Understanding these properties can inform better treatment options in veterinary medicine.
Combining ES and SA extracts showed potential anti-inflammatory effects on LPS-activated macrophage cells. This may lead to new treatments for inflammatory conditions.
