Biochemical and histological characterization of succulent plant Tacitus bellus response to Fusarium verticillioides infection in vitro
(Elsevier Gmbh, Munich, 2020)
We present changes in Tacitus bellus antioxidative system that specifically correspond to subsequent phases of hemibiotroph Fusarium verticillioides infection revealed by histological analysis. T. bellus response to spore ...
Silencing of ascorbate oxidase results in reduced growth, altered ascorbic acid levels and ripening pattern in melon fruit
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2020)
Ascorbate oxidase (AO, EC 1.10.3.3) is a copper-containing enzyme localized at the apoplast, where it catalyzes the oxidation of ascorbic acid (AA) to dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) via monodehydroascorbic acid (MDHA) intermediate. ...
Ferrous iron binding to epinephrine promotes the oxidation of iron and impedes activation of adrenergic receptors
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2020)
Upon release in response to stress, epinephrine (Epi) may interact with labile iron pool in human plasma with potentially important (patho)physiological consequences. We have shown that Epi and Fe3+ build stable 1:1 high-spin ...
Effect of encapsulated lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus L.) essential oil against potato tuber moth Phthorimaea operculella
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
The study reported the development of biodegradable, environment- and eco-friendly material based on natural polymers and lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus L.) essential oil (LEO) for application as a green pesticide. The ...
Optimization of phenol removal with horseradish peroxidase encapsulated within tyramine-alginate micro-beads
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2021)
Removal of phenolic compounds from water is of major interest over the years, since they are one of the most common pollutants in aqueous systems. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is the most investigated biocatalyst for this ...
Predicting Finite-Bias Tunneling Current Properties from Zero-Bias Features: The Frontier Orbital Bias Dependence at an Exemplar Case of DNA Nucleotides in a Nanogap
(MDPI, Basel, 2021)
The electrical current properties of single-molecule sensing devices based on electronic (tunneling) transport strongly depend on molecule frontier orbital energy, spatial distribution, and position with respect to the ...
Toxic, Oviposition Deterrent and Oxidative Stress Effects of Thymus vulgaris Essential Oil against Acanthoscelides obtectus
(MDPI, Basel, 2020)
Simple Summary Compounds of botanical origin, including essential oils (EOs), which coevolved as plant defense mechanism against herbivores and pathogens have been proposed as a promising strategy for post-harvest control ...
Leaf Soluble Sugars and Free Amino Acids as Important Components of Abscisic Acid-Mediated Drought Response in Tomato
(MDPI, Basel, 2020)
Water deficit has a global impact on plant growth and crop yield. Climate changes are going to increase the intensity, duration and frequency of severe droughts, particularly in southern and south-eastern Europe, elevating ...
Fabrication and characterization of luminescent Pr3+ doped fluorapatite nanocrystals as bioimaging contrast agents
(Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2020)
Fluorapatite doped with rare-earth elements has a wide-range of biomedical applications. Here, a new type of fluorapatite nanocrystals doped with praseodymium (FAP-Pr) with excitation-emission profiles in visible part of ...
Potential of Essential Oils from Anise, Dill and Fennel Seeds for the Gypsy Moth Control
(MDPI, Basel, 2021)
The gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)) is a serious pest of hardwood forests. In the search for an environmentally safe means of its control, we assessed the impact of different concentrations of ...
