Effect of oxytocin on free intracellular Ca2+ levels and progesterone release by human granulosa-lutein cells [PDF]

, 1993
Oxytocin and its receptor are found in the corpus luteum in a variety of species, including the human. In the present study we used fura-2 microfluorimetry to investigate whether activation of the oxytocin receptor of cultured human granulosa-lutein ...

A Novel Dual‐Target Compound Designed With Potent Herbicidal and Fungicidal Activity Inspired by Conserved Phytoene Synthase Domains

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The development of dual‐target inhibitors represents a cost‐effective strategy for integrated pest management. Here, we report the first dual‐target inhibitors designed against the evolutionarily conserved domain of phytoene synthase (PSY), a key enzyme in carotenoid biosynthesis.

Chromosome‐Scale Haplotype Genome Assemblies for the Australian Mango ‘Kensington Pride’ and a Wild Relative, Mangifera laurina, Provide Insights Into Anthracnose‐Resistance and Volatile Compound Biosynthesis Genes

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mango (Mangifera indica) is one of the most popular fruits cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The availability of reference genomes helps to identify the genetic basis of important traits. Here, we report assembled high‐quality chromosome‐level genomes for the Australian mango cultivar ‘Kensington Pride’ and M ...

The potential for dietary factors to prevent or treat osteoarthritis [PDF]

, 2014
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease for which there are no disease-modifying drugs. It is a leading cause of disability in the UK. Increasing age and obesity are both major risk factors for OA and the health and economic burden of this ...

Drought‐Induced Abscisic Acid Accumulation in Soybean Roots Depends on NCED Gene Expression More Than Shoot‐to‐Root ABA Transport

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
Abstract Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key phytohormone in plant responses to water deficit. Although there is extensive evidence that roots can synthesise ABA, recent findings suggest that local synthesis in response to dehydration contributes little to the root ABA pool compared to shoot‐sourced ABA.

Diurnal Variations in Photochemical Energy Utilization and Osmotic Adjustments in Black Poplar Leaves Under Progressive Water Stress

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought limits the productivity of fast‐growing woody crops, although the metabolic adjustments conferring water stress tolerance remain poorly understood. We investigated the responses of Populus nigra seedlings to water stress by integrating daily physiological measurements and NMR metabolomic analyses.

Impact of emerging compound droughts on forests: A water supply and demand perspective

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review examines the physiological and ecological responses of trees to emerging compound droughts from a water demand and supply perspective, as well as the role of acclimation and consequences for ecosystem‐level functions. Abstract The intensification of climate change‐induced drought results in unprecedented tree and forest die‐offs worldwide ...

Identification and Quantitative Estimation of Lutein in Iraqi Spinacia oleraceaFamily Chenopodiaceae by Using Chromatographic Methods

مجلة بغداد للعلوم, 2011
Lutein is an antioxidant carotenoid present in the highest quantities in dark, leafy green vegetables such as spinach. In this study, and for the first time we try to separate and calculate the quantity of lutein in Iraqi spinach to know the dietary ...
