Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Lead on the Chlorophyll and Antioxidant Response in the Leaves of Arabidopsis thalianaJun Xing, Cailing Yuan, Hui Yu et al.Lead (Pb) is a non-essential heavy metal element for plants. In this study, the effect of 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, and 0.5 g/L Pb on the chlorophyll and antioxidant response was analyzed in the leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana. The results indicate that 0.025 g/L Pb had no significant effect on the fluorescence intensity of chlorophyll. However, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2024 · 4,628 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAccumulation and Effect of Manganese on Chloroplasts and Antioxidant Responses in Arabidopsis ThalianaJun Xing, Xue Yang, Cailing YuanIn this study, 5-day-old seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana were exposed to 0, 0.5, and 1.0 mmol/L MnCl₂ for 6 days by using three independent biological replicates. The results indicated that Mn content in roots exhibited a dose-dependent increase with rising external Mn supply. The elevated Mn levels led to significant reductions in the nutrient content of K, Ca, Na, and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 18 Jul 2026 · 824 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Mercuric Ion on the Oxidant Response and Calcium Ion in the Protoplasts of Arabidopsis ThalianaJun Xing, Rui Wu, Hui Yu et al.As a non-essential element for plant growth and development, the heavy metal mercury (Hg) has significant toxicity to plants. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mercuric ion (Hg2+) on the oxidant response and calcium ion (Ca2+) in the protoplasts of Arabidopsis thaliana. The protoplast cells were exposed to 5.0, 10.0, and 20.0 mmol/L Hg2+ for … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 29 Aug 2023 · 4,961 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Clean-Green Synthesis of Platinum Nanoparticles Utilizing a Pernicious Weed Lantana (Lantana Camara)Musthafa O. Mavukkandy, Sudip Chakraborty, Tasneem Abbasi, Shahid A. AbbasiA rapid, reproducible single step method is proposed for synthesizing platinum nanoparticles using an invasive weed lantana (Lantana camara, L). The method involves mixing of platinum (VI) solution, lantana leaf extract and ascorbic acid in appropriate concentrations and keeping the mixture at 95°C for 8 min. The collective action of ascorbic acid and leaf extract reduced the chloroplatinic acid to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2016 · 10,447 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of HCV Components and Pathological Reactions in Apoptotic Hepatocytes from Chronically HCV-infected PatientsViviana Falcón, Nelson Acosta-Rivero, Mineko Shibayama et al.Analysis of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-infected hepatocytes at the cellular level may contribute to elucidate the mechanisms of HCV pathogenesis. In this work, the presence of HCV components and pathological reactions in apoptotic hepatocytes from chronic HCV-infected patients were studied by electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. Eight samples of liver biopsies from patients with chronic hepatitis C were studied by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,907 accessesView PDF Cite
