| three phylogenetic groups of noda and nifh genes in sinorhizobium and mesorhizobium isolates from leguminous trees growing in africa and latin america. | the diversity and phylogeny of noda and nifh genes were studied by using 52 rhizobial isolates from acacia senegal, prosopis chilensis, and related leguminous trees growing in africa and latin america. all of the strains had similar host ranges and belonged to the genera sinorhizobium and mesorhizobium, as previously determined by 16s rrna gene sequence analysis. the restriction patterns and a sequence analysis of the noda and nifh genes divided the strains into the following three distinct grou ... | 1998 | 9464375 |
| sinorhizobium arboris sp. nov. and sinorhizobium kostiense sp. nov., isolated from leguminous trees in sudan and kenya. | sds-page of total bacterial proteins was applied to the classification of 25 sudanese and five kenyan strains isolated from the root nodules of acacia senegal and prosopis chilensis. twenty strains were also studied by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (mlee) and the whole 16s rrna gene was sequenced from two strains representing the two major clusters. these results, together with the previously reported numerical taxonomy analysis, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis studies, dna-dna dot-blot hyb ... | 1999 | 10555313 |
| field studies on the photosynthesis of two desert chilean plants: prosopis chilensis and prosopis tamarugo. | photosynthetic parameters were investigated in relation to light intensity (par and uv-b) in two chilean prosopis sp., prosopis chilensis and prosopis tamarugo in their natural habitats. the objective of this work was to compare the photosynthetic responses and to determine the degree of adaptation of both species to visible- and uv-radiation stress. one of the study sites was refresco in the atacama desert, where p. tamarugo is an endemic plant and p. chilensis was introduced, and the other was ... | 2001 | 11705728 |
| agrobacterium rhizogenes vs auxinic induction for in vitro rhizogenesis of prosopis chilensis and nothofagus alpina. | the induction and improvement of in vitro rhizogenesis of microshoots of prosopis chilensis (mol.) stuntz and nothofagus alpina (poep. et endl. oerst.) were compared using agrobacterium rhizogenes (ar) versus indole-3-butyric acid (iba) in the culture media. microshoots of p. chilensis (1-2 cm length), coming from in vitro grown seedlings, were cultivated in a modified broadleaved tree medium (btmm) containing half salt concentration of macronutrients and 0.05 mg x l(-1) benzilaminopurine (bap). ... | 2003 | 15002748 |
| acacia senegal and prosopis chilensis-nodulating rhizobia sinorhizobium arboris hambi 2361 and s. kostiense hambi 2362 produce tetra- and pentameric lcos that are n-methylated, o-6-carbamoylated and partially sulfated. | sinorhizobium arboris and s. kostiense are rhizobia that nodulate the tropical leguminous trees acacia senegal and prosopis chilensis. the lipochito-oligosaccharidic signalling molecules (lcos) of s. arboris hambi 2361 and s. kostiense hambi 2362 were analyzed by mass spectrometry. the major lcos produced by the strains were shown to be pentameric, acylated with common fatty acids, n-methylated, o-6-carbamoylated and partially sulfated, as are the lcos characterized to date for other acacia-nodu ... | 2004 | 15063192 |
| antimicrobial screening of ethnobotanically important stem bark of medicinal plants. | the stem barks are the rich sources of tannins and other phenolic compounds. tannins inhibited the growth of various fungi, yeast, bacteria and virus. hence, ten stem barks of ethnomedicinally important plants were screened for antibacterial and antifungal activities against human pathogenic strains. | 2010 | 21808577 |
| [development of a high content protein beverage from chilean mesquite, lupine and quinoa for the diet of pre-schoolers]. | this research was aimed at developing a high content protein beverage from the mixture of liquid extracts of a pseudocereal, quinoa (chenopodium quinoa willd) and two legumes: mesquite (prosopis chilensis (mol.) stunz) and lupine (lupinus albus l.), native from the andean highlands of the chilean northern macro-zone, flavored with raspberry pulp, to help in the feeding of children between 2 and 5 years of lower socioeconomic status with nutritional deficiencies. the formulation was defined by li ... | 2013 | 22566327 |
| genome sequence of ensifer arboris strain lmg 14919(t); a microsymbiont of the legume prosopis chilensis growing in kosti, sudan. | ensifer arboris lmg 14919(t) is an aerobic, motile, gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod that can exist as a soil saprophyte or as a legume microsymbiont of several species of legume trees. lmg 14919(t) was isolated in 1987 from a nodule recovered from the roots of the tree prosopis chilensis growing in kosti, sudan. lmg 14919(t) is highly effective at fixing nitrogen with p. chilensis (chilean mesquite) and acacia senegal (gum arabic tree or gum acacia). lmg 14919(t) does not nodulate the tree ... | 2014 | 25197433 |
| herbs containing l- dopa: an update. | l-dopa is the drug of choice in the treatment of parkinson's disease but it has dose related adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, orthostatic hypotension, end of dose deterioration, on off phenomena and on chronic therapy motor complications synonymous to parkinsonism. mucuna pruriens (m.p) commonly known as velvet beans or cowitch are used in case of spasms associated with parkins onism. clinical efficacy of seeds of this plant was confirmed and the efficacy was contributed to its l-dopa c ... | 2007 | 22557260 |
| heat-shock responses in two leguminous plants: a comparative study. | relative growth rates, basal and acclimated thermotolerance, membrane damage, fluorescence emission, and relative levels of free and conjugated ubiquitin and hsp70 were compared after 2 h of treatment at different temperatures between prosopis chilensis and glycine max (soybean), cv. mccall, to evaluate if the thermotolerance of these two plants was related to levels of accumulation of heat shock proteins. seedlings of p. chilensis germinated at 25 degrees c and at 35 degrees c and grown at temp ... | 2001 | 11479337 |
