A strain of Aspergillus terreus in the medicinal plant Catharanthus roseus produces camptothecin (CPT), which exhibits anticancer and wound healing properties. Adding sterilized C. roseus leaves can restore CPT production, making A. terreus a potential source for industrial CPT production.
This study tested two gene editing techniques, mitoTALEN and mitoTALECD, on potato mitochondria to knockout a specific genetic sequence. It is important for potential use in improving vegetatively propagated crops.
Scientists analyzed the genome of sainfoin, a forage plant with medicinal properties, and found that it has a high number of genes involved in the production of beneficial compounds. This study enhances our knowledge of leguminous plants and their secondary metabolites.
Sodium acetate can mitigate the detrimental effects of salinity stress in oat plants. It improves plant growth, chlorophyll content, and antioxidant defense system, ensuring osmoprotection even under stressful conditions. Sodium acetate positively impacts various plant development parameters, especially photosynthetic activity.
Coriander seed extract was given to obese rats for 12 weeks. It reduced oxidative stress and cellular senescence markers, while increasing antioxidants. It could be a neuroprotective agent.
Study finds variation in terpene profiles in guava cultivars due to genetic diversity and regulation, impacting essential oil chemotypes and adaptability to different habitats.
