Scientists studied the interaction between the pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae and Chinese cabbage plants. The pathogen causes clubroot disease, inhibiting nutrient absorption. The study explores the role of sugar in plant growth and development.
This study analyzed various monofloral bee pollen samples for their palynological analysis, antioxidant activity, phenolic profiles, and color. Different species had varying phenolic compositions and higher levels of TPC and antioxidant activity. This helps authenticate and ensure the quality of bee pollen products for the food industry.
This study analyzed the chemical diversity of commercially available hibiscus products. It identified major compounds and variations in the market. These findings are important for quality control, authentication, and standardization of natural products.
Scientists investigated whether Thymoquinone (TQ), found in Nigella sativa, has a radioprotective effect on rat lung tissue exposed to ionizing radiation. The study explores potential benefits of TQ in reducing side effects of radiotherapy in cancer patients.
Researchers identified four MYB genes in soybean created by tandem duplication. Three genes promote anthocyanin production, while one is a pseudogene. Functional differences contribute to diverse metabolite accumulation, shedding light on gene duplications in legumes' evolution.
This paper suggests using mistletoe extract as a potential treatment for dogs with cancer. It contains compounds that can inhibit cancer cell growth and stimulate the immune system, improving well-being. Its low side effect profile makes it worth considering.
Embelin from Embelia plants inhibits cancer cell growth via multiple mechanisms, making it a promising anticancer agent supported by scientific literature. Consider its potential for your lab's research on cancer treatment.
The study compared the polysaccharide contents of four strains and found that QB72 had higher production and better antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. Hot water extracts of QB72 showed potential as α-amylase inhibitors in food and medication.
