Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) is a family of oxygen-based active molecules, which are deeply involved in numerous crucial processes of cellular metabolism, where the redox equilibrium is very important. An imbalance between ROS and the cell ability to neut ...
The resistance mechanism of vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides Nash) to atrazine was investigated to evaluate its potential for phytoremediation of environment contaminated with the herbicide. Plants known to metabolise atrazine rely on hydroxylation mediate ...
Vitamin C (ascorbate) and glutathione (GSH) are the two most concentrated non-enzymatic antioxidants in the human brain. Double editing with (DEW) MEGA-PRESS at 4T was designed in this study to measure both antioxidants in the same amount of time previousl ...
The present thesis is part of a project exploring new possibilities to remediate soils polluted by insecticide lindane and herbicide atrazine. It is the Indo-Swiss project entitled "Development of Phytoremediation Techniques Using Interactive Potential of ...
The resistance mechanism of vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides) to atrazine was investigated to evaluate its potential for phytoremediation of environment contaminated with the herbicide. Plants known to metabolise atrazinerely on hydroxylation mediated by b ...
Some plants able to take up heavy metals from contaminated soils offer a possibility to clean up sites contaminated with heavy metals. Plants thus act as a solar driven pump, which can extract and concentrate heavy metals from the environment. Since most o ...
Normal cellular metabolism produces oxidants which are neutralized within cells by antioxidant enzymes and other antioxidants. An imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants has been postulated to lead to the degeneration of specific populations of neurons ...
Intracellular reduction-oxidation status is increasingly recognized as a primary regulator of cellular growth and development. The relative reduction-oxidation state of the cell depends primarily on the precise balance between concentrations of reactive ox ...
Although phytoextraction using hyperaccumulating plants is seen as a promising technique, a lack of understanding of the basic physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms involved in heavy metal hyperaccumulation prevents the optimization of the p ...
