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 ...
Biomedical Relevance of Novel Anticancer Peptides in the Sensitive Treatment of Cancer
(MDPI, 2021)
The global increase in cancer mortality and economic losses necessitates the cautious quest for therapeutic agents with compensatory advantages over conventional therapies. Anticancer peptides (ACPs) are a subset of host ...
Analytical studies of antimicrobial peptides as diagnostic biomarkers for the detection of bacterial and viral Pneumonia
(MDPI, 2022)
Pneumonia remains one of the leading causes of infectious mortality and significant
economic losses among our growing population. The lack of specific biomarkers for correct and timely
diagnosis to detect patients’ status ...
Exogenous p-coumaric acid improves salvia hispanica l. Seedling shoot growth
(MDPI Open Access Journals, 2019)
p-Coumaric acid (p-CA) belongs to a family of natural esters of hydroxycinnamic acid compounds that have been shown to modulate plant growth and metabolism. In this study, we investigated the effect of exogenous p-CA on ...
Efficient superoxide scavenging and metal immobilization in roots determines the level of tolerance to vanadium stress in two contrasting Brassica napus genotypes
(Elsevier, 2018)
Brassica napus also known as Rapeseed is a member of the Brassicaceae family which is mainly cultivated for its
oil-rich seeds. Indeed, B. napus is ranked the third-largest source of vegetable oil in the world. Brassica ...
