The study found that the methanolic extract of P. foetida leaves (PFLE) showed no toxicity, reduced blood sugar levels, increased body weight, and had anti-hemostasis effects. Deep learning predicted that Cleomiscosins, found in PFLE, have potential as drugs for managing diabetes and thrombophilia.
Scientists analyzed the expression patterns of two nucleases (CrCAN and CrENDO1) during programmed cell death in Citrus fruits. They found that these nucleases work together to degrade nuclear DNA, providing evidence for ion-dependent nucleases in plant cell death.
This study separated and purified eight compounds from Phellodendron chinense using different chromatography techniques. The purified compounds include six alkaloids and two phenolic acids. Purity of the compounds was over 95.0%.
Researchers conducted a study on cotton plants to analyze the expression and functions of key enzymes involved in ascorbic acid synthesis pathways. Understanding these pathways can help improve plant growth, development, and stress tolerance.
