Inhibition of NOS- like activity in maize alters the expression of genes involved in H2O2 scavenging and glycine betaine biosynthesis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
Nitric oxide synthase-like activity contributes to the production of nitric oxide in plants, which controls
plant responses to stress. This study investigates if changes in ascorbate peroxidase enzymatic
activity and ...
Green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles using some selected medicinal plants from Southern Africa and their biological applications
(MPDI, 2021)
The application of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs), especially that of silver, gold, cobalt, and
zinc as antimicrobial, anticancer, drug delivery, contrast, and bioimaging agents has transformed the
field of medicine. Their ...
Evaluation of the morpho-physiological, biochemical and molecular responses of contrasting medicago truncatula lines under water deficit stress
(MPDI, 2021)
Medicago truncatula is a forage crop of choice for farmers, and it is a model species for
molecular research. The growth and development and subsequent yields are limited by water availability mainly in arid and semi-arid ...
Morpho-physiological, biochemical, and genetic responses to salinity in medicago truncatula
(MDPI, 2021)
We used an integrated morpho-physiological, biochemical, and genetic approach to investigate the salt responses of four lines (TN1.11, TN6.18, JA17, and A10) of Medicago truncatula. Results
showed that TN1.11 exhibited a ...
Plant antimicrobial peptides (pamps): Features, applications, production, expression and challenges
(MDPI, 2022)
The quest for an extraordinary array of defense strategies is imperative to reduce the challenges
of microbial attacks on plants and animals. Plant antimicrobial peptides (PAMPs) are a subset
of antimicrobial peptides ...
