A small-scale proteomic approach reveals a survival strategy, including a reduction in alkaloid biosynthesis, in Hyoscyamus albus roots subjected to iron deficiency

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Hyoscyamus albus is a well-known source of the tropane alkaloids, hyoscyamine and scopolamine, which are biosynthesized in the roots. To assess the major biochemical adaptations that occur in the roots of this plant in response to iron deficiency, we ...

Analysis of alkaloids (indole alkaloids, isoquinoline alkaloids, tropane alkaloids)

, 2020
Alkaloids are a large cluster of molecules found in Mother Nature all over the world. They are all secondary compounds and collection of miscellaneous elements and biomolecules, derived from amino acids or from transamination. This diverse chemical group is categorized, based on the amino acids that deliver their nitrogen atom and part of their ...

Next‐Generation Therapies for Gastrointestinal Repair: Converging Traditional Medicine and Tissue Engineering

JGH Open, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The gastrointestinal (GI) tract plays a vital role in regulating metabolic pathways, nutrient absorption, and cellular homeostasis. Abnormalities in the GI tract often arise from unhealthy lifestyles, genetic mutations, and prolonged medication use, leading to disorders such as ulcers, cirrhosis, and malignancies.

Genome‐wide identification of quantitative trait nucleotides for plant architecture‐related traits in peanut

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is globally recognized as an important oilseed crop. Traits related to plant architecture are closely associated with yield in peanut. In this study, we focused on four specific traits related to plant architecture—first branch length (FBL), main stem height (MSH), stem diameter (SD), and the number of nodes on the
