| strains of peru tomato virus infecting cocona (solanum sessiliflorum), tomato and pepper in peru with reference to genome evolution in genus potyvirus. | two isolates (sl1 and sl6) of peru tomato virus (ptv, genus potyvirus) were obtained from cocona plants (solanum sessiliflorum) growing in tingo maría, the jungle of the amazon basin in peru. one ptv isolate (tm) was isolated from a tomato plant (lycopersicon esculentum) growing in huaral at the peruvian coast. the three ptv isolates were readily transmissible by myzus persicae. isolate sl1, but not sl6, caused chlorotic lesions in inoculated leaves of chenopodium amaranticolor and c. quinoa. is ... | 2004 | 15290372 |
| phytoremediation potential of maná-cubiu (solanum sessiliflorum dunal) for the deleterious effects of methylmercury on the reproductive system of rats. | methylmercury, organic form of mercury, can increase the number of abnormal sperm and decrease sperm concentration and testosterone levels possibly due to the damage caused by reactive species to germ and leydig cells. maná-cubiu (solanum sessiliflorum dunal) is a native fruit from amazon rich in iron, zinc, niacin, pectin, and citric acid, used in foods, beverages, and medicinal purposes, since it has been useful for treatment of various diseases caused by oxidative stress or nutritional defici ... | 2014 | 24772420 |
| carotenoids and phenolic compounds from solanum sessiliflorum, an unexploited amazonian fruit, and their scavenging capacities against reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. | the composition of carotenoids and phenolic compounds from mana-cubiu (solanum sessiliflorum), a fruit native to amazonia, was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to diode array and mass spectrometry detectors (hplc-dad-ms(n)). the antioxidant capacities of the hydrophilic and carotenoid extracts against some reactive oxygen (roo(•), h(2)o(2), hocl, and ho(•)) and nitrogen (onoo(-)) species were also determined. seventeen carotenoids and three phenolic compounds were fou ... | 2013 | 23432472 |
