In recent years, there has been considerable interest in lectins from marine invertebrates. In this study, the biological activities of a lectin protein isolated from the eggs of Sea hare (Aplysia kurodai) were evaluated. The 40 kDa Aplysia kurodai egg lectin (or AKL-40) binds to D-galacturonic acid and D-galactose sugars similar to previously purified isotypes with various molecular weights (32/30 and 16 kDa). The N-terminal sequence of AKL-40 was similar to other sea hare egg lectins. The lectin was shown to be moderately toxic to brine shrimp nauplii, with an LC50 value of 63.63 µg/mL. It agglutinated Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells and reduced their growth, up to 58.3% in vivo when injected into Swiss albino mice at a rate of 2 mg/kg/day. The morphology of these cells apparently changed due to AKL-40, while the expression of apoptosis-related genes (p53, Bax, and Bcl-XL) suggested a possible apoptotic pathway of cell death. AKL-40 also inhibited the growth of human erythroleukemia cells, probably via activating the MAPK/ERK pathway, but did not affect human B-lymphoma cells (Raji) or rat basophilic leukemia cells (RBL-1). In vitro, lectin suppressed the growth of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma and U937 cells by 37.9% and 31.8%, respectively. Along with strong antifungal activity against Talaromyces verruculosus, AKL showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella sonnei, and Bacillus cereus whereas the growth of Escherichia coli was not affected by the lectin. This study explores the antiproliferative and antimicrobial potentials of AKL as well as its involvement in embryo defense of sea hare. 相似文献

Pakistan is well known for its basmati rice with long grain and aroma, as well as for non-basmati indica varieties; however
average yield is lower as compared with other countries. Besides, cultural practices, the main reason for low productivity
in Pakistan is that, local varieties are susceptible to different biotic and abiotic factors like insect pests, diseases,
drought, and salinity. Different approaches have been undertaken in Pakistan to tackle these problems through traditional
breeding of selection and crossing, mutation breeding, somaclonal variation as well as plant transformation studies in recent
past. For variety development, the most successful examples arose from traditional breeding that produced famous basmati varieties
like Basmati 370, Basmati 385 and Super basmati, and non-basmati varieties such as IRRI-6, DR-82, DR-83, DR-92, Swat-I and
Swat-II, which earn a significant share of foreign exchange every year. Six varieties have also been developed through mutation
breeding, and one through exploitation of somaclonal variation but their contribution to the national economy is not significant.
On the other hand, no variety has been registered as commercial by plant transformation groups. This review discusses the
problems and prospects of rice breeding with special emphasis on basmati rice in Pakistan particularly in Pakistani Punjab
(a major producing area), as well as focuses on future research programs. 相似文献

Raw and cooked samples of cultivars ofLens esculenta (Lentils),Pisum sativum (peas),Phaseolus vulgaris (beans),Phaseolus aureus (navy beans)Cicer arietnum (gram), andLathyrus sativus (dhal) as well as precooked commercial products were analysed for amino acids, trypsin inhibitor activity and in vitro protein digestibility. Of the fifteen samples used in the study one lentil sample, one pea sample, two gram samples and one sample of khesari dhal were from Bangladesh, one gram sample was from Sri Lanka. The other samples were obtained either in shops in Norway or from an industrial firm. The latter were also obtained precooked and dried. The two samples obtained in shops were used with hull and dehulled.Neither cooking by a Bangladeshi household procedure nor industrial precooking and drying had any effect on the amino acid contents of the samples.Cooking and precooking reduced the trypsin inhibitor activity of the raw samples more when the original activity was high then when it was low. The inhibitor activity was similar between samples after cooking.Cooking and precooking and drying increased the in vitro protein digestibility in all samples except in the lentils in which the digestibility was reduced.In the raw samples protein digestibility was negatively correlated with the trypsin inhibitor activity. 相似文献

Species diversity and ethno-medicinal usage of 39 species of invasive plants were explored in and around two protected areas, Khadimnagar National Park (KNP) and Rema-Kalenga Wildlife Sanctu- ary (RKWS), of northeastern Bangladesh,. Status of invasive plants were investigated in 60 sample plots with 5 different habitat types, including forest, roadside, homestead, fallow land and others (ponds, canals, water logged areas, agricultural land, etc.). Data about the usage of invasive plants in traditional health care were collected through interviewing 110 households. Among the five habitat types, fallow land (28 species) pos- sessed the highest number of species, followed by roadside (25 species), forest (23 species), homestead (22 species) and others (13 species). Based on the survey, invasive plants of study areas were also categorized into five degrees of invasiveness e.g., naturalized, introduced, possibly invasive, moderately invasive and highly invasive. Additionally, there is the linear trend between degrees of invasiveness and use percentage of invasive plants. Total 39 species of invasive plants belonging to 29 fami- lies were recorded, which are generally used to treat 37 diseases, ranging from simple headache to highly complicated eye and heart diseases. The majority of the species used by the local inhabitants were herbs (16 spe- cies), followed by some shrubs (11 species), climbers (5 species), trees (5 species) and grasses (2 species). The use percentage of aboveground plant parts were higher (70.58%) than that of underground plant parts (16.18%). 相似文献
