Antimicrobial Activity of New Phorbins from Jatropha curcas Linn. (Euphorbiaceae) Leaves

The crude methanol extract of Jatropha curcas leaves exhibited activity against Staphy- lococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Mycobacterium phlei, Candida albicans, and Trichophyton

Utilizing fl uorogenic real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the expression levels of the accA gene in leaves and fruits at early, middle and late stages under pH 7.0/8.0 and

The expression levels of the accA gene in leaves at early, middle and late stages increased signifi cantly under pH 8.0 stress compared to pH 7.0.. Similarly, the expression levels

Analysis of the 5’ fl anking regions of curcin and curcin-L revealed that the 5’ fl anking region of curcin-L has three major inserted fragments, which are not present in

Comparison of characteristic cis-elements suggests the presence of several motifs that are involved in the endosperm-specifi c expression in the 5’ fl anking region of curcin, while

The results showed that the BdE, similar to the GPE, displays antimicrobial activity, which may be related to the effect of several compounds present in the crude extract. Key

Glutathione reductase has a key role in the anti- oxidant system of plants, since it is involved in the maintenance of the redox state and the total level of glutathione and
