THE INHIBITED SEED GERMINATION BY ABA AND MEJA IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DISTURBANCE OF RESERVE UTILIZATIONS IN ASTRAGALUS MEMBRANACEUS

The inhibited seed germination by ABA and MeJA is associated with the disturbance of reserve utilizations in Astragalus membranaceus

Astragalus membranaceus is a major traditional Chinese medicinal plant.Here, we investigated the mobilizations of seed reserves during its germination and post-germination growth, as well as the effects of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA).It was found that both starch and protein were rapidly mobilized during the seed Jandy

Phospholipase A2 - nexus of aging, oxidative stress, neuronal excitability and functional decline of the aging nervous system? Insights from a snail model system of neuronal aging and age-associated memory impairment.

TThe aging brain can undergo a range of changes varying from subtle structural and physiological changes causing only minor functional decline under healthy normal aging conditions, to severe cognitive or neurological impairment associated with extensive loss of neurons and circuits due to age-associated neurodegenerative disease conditions.Underst
