Assessment of Sedative Activity of Protodioscin: In Vivo Approach Along With Receptor Binding Affinity and Molecular Interaction With GABAergic System

Progress in Neurology and Psychiatry, Volume 30, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A frequent sleep issue called insomnia can lead to a number of disorders, including despair and anxiety. In order to cure insomnia, this study aims to evaluate the sedative effects of PRO in Swiss mice and use an in silico approach to look into the molecular processes at play. In our investigation, five mice were given oral PRO at doses of 2.5

A Sequence-Independent Strategy for Amplification and Characterisation of Episomal Badnavirus Sequences Reveals Three Previously Uncharacterised Yam Badnaviruses

Viruses, 2016
Yam (Dioscorea spp.) plants are potentially hosts to a diverse range of badnavirus species (genus Badnavirus, family Caulimoviridae), but their detection is complicated by the existence of integrated badnavirus sequences in some yam genomes.

New canopy legume species highlight liana gap sampling across Amazonian and Atlantic rain forests

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Lianas are a key component of the Neotropical flora, accounting for 10% of angiosperm richness and playing important ecological roles. However, the canopy preference of some species often leads to their underrepresentation in herbarium collections, thereby exacerbating Linnaean, Darwinian, and Wallacean shortfalls. The papilionoid legume genus

Funtional Properties of Starch Yam (Dioscorea bulbífera,Dioscorea trífida y Dioscorea esculenta)

Revista Técnica de la Facultad de Ingeniería, 2016
The physicochemical and rheological properties of three yam (D.bulbifera, D.trifida and D.esculenta) species were studied using a completely random with unifactorial arrangement design. The results presented significant differences (p < 0,05) with a water absorption capacity between 134% and 165%, electrical capacity between 100,7 μohms cm-1 and ...
