Modulation of antioxidant enzyme activities and metabolites ratios by nitric oxide in short-term salt stressed soybean root nodules
(Elsevier, 2013)
Several abiotic factors cause molecular damage to plants either directly or through the accumulation of reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). We investigated if application of nitric oxide (NO) donor ...
Nitric oxide (NO) regulates the expression of single-domain cystatins in glycine max (soybean)
(Southern Cross Publishing, 2013)
Plant cystatins inhibit cysteine proteases and are important in regulating plant development and plant responses to biotic and abiotic stress. Furthermore, nitric oxide plays a signaling role in regulating plant responses ...
Dietary effects of antimicrobial peptides in therapeutics
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-02-17)
The notable increase in drug-resistant infections and the failure of the most potent antibiotics to establish their curative effect without side effect have presented a serious need for the discovery of new therapeutic ...
Capacity to control oxidative stress-induced caspase-like activity determines the level of tolerance to salt stress in two contrasting maize genotypes
(Springer, 2013)
The response of two maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes, named GR (salt-tolerant) and SK (salt-sensitive), to salt stress (150 mM NaCl) was investigated under controlled environmental growth conditions. Genotype SK experienced ...
Development of Effective Therapeutic Molecule from Natural Sources against Coronavirus Protease
(MDPI, 2021)
Abstract: The SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) is one of the molecular targets for drug design. Effective vaccines have been identified as a long-term solution but the rate at which they are being administered is slow in ...
Diagnostic approaches of pneumonia for commercial-scale biomedical applications: An overview
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
Pneumonia remains the leading infectious cause of death among children under five years of age,
and the elderly. Several biomarkers, which have been identified for its diagnosis lack specificity, as
they could not ...
Venom proteomic analysis of medically important Nigerian viper Echis ocellatus and Bitis arietans snake species
(Elsevier, 2021)
Snakebite envenoming remains a neglected tropical disease which poses severe health hazard, especially for the
rural inhabitants in Africa. In Nigeria, vipers are responsible for the highest number of deaths. Hydrophili ...
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 ...
Response of soybean nodules to exogenously applied caffeic acid during NaCl-induced salinity
(Elsevier, 2015)
affeic acid acts as an antioxidant to scavenge reactive oxygen species, but its influence on plant responses to abi-
otic stresses is only partially understood. Here, we investigated the influence of exogenously applied ...
Functional prediction of candidate micrornas for CRC management using in silico approach
(MDPI, 2019)
Approximately 30–50% of malignant growths can be prevented by avoiding risk factors
and implementing evidence-based strategies. Colorectal cancer (CRC) accounted for the second most
common cancer and the third most common ...
