Thiol-based peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are conserved through-out all kingdoms. We have found that a conserved typical 2-Cys Prx-like protein (PaPrx) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria displays diversity in its structure and ...

To detect superoxide anion (O2∙-) or singlet oxygen (1O2) in biological systems duringgamma irradiation, specific chemical probes, 4,5-dihydroxy-1,3-benzene disulfonic acid (Tiron) or2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine (TEMP), ...

For the expression study of antioxidant isoenzyme genes in rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants, extensivesearches for genes of superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and catalase (CAT) isoforms wereperformed ...

- To reveal effects of gamma-irradiation with various doses on the expressions of C4Hand F5H genes, the transcription levels of OsC4HLand OsF5HLwere investigated in leaves andstems of two rice cultivars, Ilpoombyeo and ...

Argonaute 2 (AtAGO2) is a well characterized effector protein in Arabidopsis for its functionalities associated with DNA double-strand break (DSB)-induced small RNAs (diRNAs) and for its inducible expression upon γ-irradiation. ...

To reveal the relationship between the changes in the growth and photosynthesis induced by low dose radiation, red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants were serially irradiated three times with gamma rays of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, ...

A typical 2-cysteine peroxiredoxin (2-Cys Prx)-like protein (PpPrx) that alternatively acts as a peroxidase or a mole-cular chaperone in Pseudomonas putida KT2440 was previously characterized. The dual functions of PpPrx ...

Nitric oxide (NO), an important gaseous signaling molecule and reactive nitrogen species(RNS), regulates several developmental processes and stress responses in plants via proteinS-nitrosylation, in which specific cysteine ...

Although essential oil of lavender has many beneficial effects on human health, little is knownabout its pharmacological effects on cancer cells. Here, we performed solid phase microextraction -gas chromatography - mass ...
