Sexual differentiation of inflorescences and flowers is important for reproduction and affects crop plant productivity.We report here on a molecular study of the process of sexual differentiation in the immature inflorescence of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis).This species is monoecious and exhibits gender diphasy, producing male and female infloresce
The Effect of Non-covalent Interaction of Soy Protein Isolate with Quercetin and Rutin on Functional Properties and in Vitro Digestion Characteristics
The changes in functionality (solubility, emulsification, gelation) and digestibility of quercetin-soy protein isolate and rutin-soy protein isolate complexes were analyzed in this paper.The interaction was studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy.The mechanism, the type of fluorescence quenching, the number of binding sites and
Independent evolution of neurotoxin and flagellar genetic loci in proteolytic Clostridium botulinum
Abstract Background Proteolytic Clostridium botulinum is the causative agent of botulism, a Fish Medications severe neuroparalytic illness.Given the severity of botulism, surprisingly little is known of the population structure, biology, phylogeny or evolution of C.botulinum.The recent determination of the genome sequence of C.botulinum has allowed
An Increase in Mesenchymal Stem Cells Expressing Nestin in Bone-Marrow-Derived Primary Cells Stimulates Neurogenic Differentiation in Rat
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been considered an alternative source of neuronal lineage cells, which are difficult to isolate from brain and expand in vitro.Previous studies have reported that MSCs expressing Nestin (Nestin+ MSCs), a neuronal stem/progenitor cell marker, exhibit increased transcriptional levels of neural development-related ge
