aegyptiaca initiates the development of a tubercle, which is a storage organ developed from the seedling remaining outside the host's root [2]. Formation of vascular conducting tissue in haustoria is necessary for obligate parasitic plants to absorb water and nutrients from the hosts, because ...
In regards to aspartic acid and isovaline, the relevant Strecker precursors are 3-oxopropanoic acid and butanone, respectively, both of which are achiral and thus could not have inherited any enantiomeric excess prior to accretion. As yet, there are no known asteroid-relevant mechanisms that ...
Introduction Isorhynchophylline (Rhy) is one of the major oxindole alkaloids isolated from Uncaria rhynchophylla, which has already been extensively used for the treatment of asthma, cancer, cirrhosis, diabetes, hypertension, stroke and rheumatism in tropical regions, such as Southeast Asia, Africa and...
Functionalization successfully endows the materials with an active interface, which enhances cell migration and proliferation, enabling the differentiation of the progenitor and stem cells [14]. Furthermore, functionalization minimizes host tissue inflammation in the microenvironment [9]. However, the high ...
This may be due to the membrane curvature of the vesicles, which could decrease lipid packing. It is hence worthwhile to investigate the interfacial properties of such a flat bilayer system. The aim of this study was to clarify the self-assembly behavior of DMPC/DHPC mixtures containing ...
This relates to the three common interdependent and interrelated components of sustainability: Society, environment and economy, which are in line with the triple bottom line of sustainability, consisting of people, planet and profit (PPP) as originally coined by Elkington [15,16]. More and more ...
The GH3 enzyme family conjugates amino acids to chemically diverse compounds, such as Jasmonic acid (JA), Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and Salicylic acid (SA) at the cellular level and modulates crosstalk among JA, IAA, and SA, which in turn is involved in plant physiological processes [1...
