Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 3, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Abstract Brachiaria humidicola (BH) (syn. Urochloa humidicola) is an important forage grass in the tropics due to its capacity to grow in nutrient‐deficient soils, tolerate waterlogging, and inhibit soil nitrification. A major objective of BH breeding is to improve its nutritional quality. Therefore, a rapid and low‐cost method is needed to assess main

Toxicology in Vitro, 2012 The antiproliferative activity of lectins Canavalia ensiformis (ConA) and Canavalia brasiliensis (ConBr) were studied using human leukemia MOLT-4 and HL-60 cell lines. It was revealed that both ConA and ConBr were markedly cytotoxic to cells using MTT and NAC assays.

Expression and Purification of the Recombinant Conbr (Canavalia Brasiliensis Lectin) Produced in Escherichia Coli Cells [PDF]
Protein & Peptide Letters, 2002 ConBr, a D-glucose/D-mannose-specific lectin from Canavalia brasiliensis seeds, was produced in Escherichia coli from a (c)DNA clone subcloned to pET15b expression vector. The recombinant lectin (rConBr) was purified by one-step immobilized metal-affinity chromatography using an amino-terminal hexahistidine tag. By SDS-PAGE and Western blot, rConBr was

Effect of Lectins from Diocleinae Subtribe against Oral Streptococci
Molecules, 2011 Surface colonization is an essential step in biofilm development. The ability of oral pathogens to adhere to tooth surfaces is directly linked with the presence of specific molecules at the bacterial surface that can interact with enamel acquired ...

The effect of Cratylia floribunda lectin on renal hemodynamics and ion transport
Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2015 Lectins have been described as glycoproteins that reversibly and specifically bind to carbohydrates. Legume lectins isolated from the subtribe Diocleinae (Canavalia, Dioclea andCratylia) are structurally homologous with respect to their primary ...

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, Volume 34, Issue 12, Page 673-683, December 2018., 2018 Abstract The present study describes the predicted model and functional characterization of an endochitinase (30 kDa) from corms of Gladiolus grandiflorus. ESI‐QTOF‐MS generated peptide showed 96% sequence homology with family 18, Class III acidic endochitinase of Gladiolus gandavensis. Purified G.
