Beneficial effects of silicon (Si) on plants have primarily been studied in crop species under single stress.Moreover, nutrient acquisition-based responses to combination of biotic and abiotic stresses (a common situation in natural habitats) have rarely been reported, in particular in conjunction with soil amendments with Si.Pedunculate oak (Querc
Abstract The discovery of secondary metabolites from marine microorganisms is beset by numerous challenges including difficulties cultivating and subsequently eliciting expression of biosynthetic genes from marine microbes in the laboratory.In this paper, we describe a method of culturing three species from the marine bacterial genus Pseudoalteromo
Cotton research personnel and growers have often observed that some insect pests are more abundant in parts of a cotton field or in, entire fields where plant growth is rank and succulent.The research reported here was initiated to test this observation.Three different regimes of irrigation water and nitrogen, tested in factorial luce chandelier co
Stranded driftwood feedstocks click here may represent, after pretreatment with steam explosion and enzymatic hydrolysis, a cheap C-source for producing biochemicals and biofuels using oleaginous yeasts.The hydrolysis was optimized using a response surface methodology (RSM).The solid loading (SL) and the dosage of enzyme cocktail (ED) were variated
Abstract This study assesses the neuroprotective potential of CPP-P1, a conjugate of an anti-apoptotic peptain-1 (P1) and a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) in in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo glaucoma models.Primary retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) were subjected to either neurotrophic factor (NF) deprivation for 48 h or endothelin-3 (ET-3) treatment for
