MODIFYING ANTHOCYANINS BIOSYNTHESIS IN TOMATO HAIRY ROOTS: A TEST BED FOR PLANT RESISTANCE TO IONIZING RADIATION AND ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES IN SPACE

Modifying Anthocyanins Biosynthesis in Tomato Hairy Roots: A Test Bed for Plant Resistance to Ionizing Radiation and Antioxidant Properties in Space

Gene expression manipulation of specific metabolic pathways can be used to obtain bioaccumulation of valuable molecules and desired quality traits in plants.A single-gene approach to impact different traits would be greatly desirable in agrospace applications, where several aspects of plant physiology can be affected, influencing growth.In this wor

From press conferences to media dialogues, Cameroon learned to be more effective in relaying tobacco control messages

Background and challenges to implementation Cameroon ratified the World Health Organisation Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) in 2006.Eleven years later, the country has still not adopted a national tobacco control bill, something the FCTC recommends be done three years into ratification.Knowing how powerful the media is in relaying in

Possibility of increasing the liquid temperature in the problem of supercompression of a bubble by an acoustic action

Expansions and collapses of a vapor bubble at the pressure antinode of a standing acoustic wave in liquid acetone at temperatures 273 K and 293 K were compared.In the first case, the acoustic excitation amplitude and frequency were 15 bar and 19.3 kHz, whereas in jeff rosenstock buffalo the second case they were varied on the condition that the max

Ethylene represses the promoting influence of cytokinin on cell division and expansion of cotyledons in etiolated Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings

The plant hormones ethylene and cytokinin influence many processes; sometimes they act cooperatively, other times antagonistically.To study their antagonistic interaction, we used the cotyledons of etiolated, intact seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana.We focused on cell division and expansion, because both processes are quantified readily in paraderm
