This study investigates the effect of leaf extract on blood abnormalities and clotting problems in Type 2 diabetic rats, which could help improve treatment strategies for diabetes-related complications.
Study found that social isolation stress and individual housing cause cognitive issues and psychiatric diseases. Acorus calamus (AC) has potential therapeutic value for neurological disorders. This study examined AC's antidepressant and antioxidative effects on rats subjected to long-term social isolation stress.
Study evaluated antibacterial capabilities of Tinospora cordifolia, a medicinal plant with anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, and other properties. Relevant for drug development due to rise in antimicrobial resistance.
Researchers studied a mutant tomato plant with a gene that controls floral organ development, resulting in abnormal flowers and seedless malformed fruits. The findings contribute to understanding gene function and potential for enhancing tomato yield through genetic engineering.
Researchers identified a recessive gene (Bol026949) responsible for decreased cuticular wax production in a mutant cabbage. The gene plays a role in chromatin remodeling and RNA transcription, potentially affecting post-translational cellular processes and phytohormone signaling. Understanding this regulatory mechanism may benefit cruciferous crop cultivation.
The study investigated the antioxidant activity of extracts from the rosemary plant. The extracts were found to contain beneficial compounds that could potentially reduce lipid accumulation in NAFLD.
Study: The carob tree has various medicinal properties and is used in traditional medicine. It contains compounds with antihypertensive, antidepressant, anti-obesity, and antihyperglycemic activities. This review explores the taxonomy, traditional uses, and biological properties of the carob tree (L.).
Researchers used high-throughput sequencing to sequence and analyze cherry virus A (CVA) and little cherry virus 1 (LChV1) isolates found on interspecies hybrids in Russia. The study expands knowledge on the geographical distribution and genetic diversity of these economically important stone fruit viruses.
