Activated Charcoal Alleviates Fluoride Stress By Restricting Fluoride Uptake And Counteracting Oxidative Damages In The Rice Cultivar Mtu1010, Ankur Singh, Swarnavo Chakraborty, Aryadeep Roychoudhury
Turkish Journal of Botany
This work was aimed to explore the efficacy of activated charcoal (5 mg g-1 soil) in abating fluoride (25 mg L-1 NaF) stress in rice seedlings, since the protective role of charcoal is widely reported against other forms of abiotic stress. Application of NaF solution reduced germination rate, dry and fresh weight, and shoot and root length of seedlings. Extensive fluoride accumulation lowered the chlorophyll level along with higher electrolyte leakage and formation of H2 O2 , malondialdehyde, and methylglyoxal. Administration of activated charcoal lowered the extent of oxidative damages by inhibiting the uptake of fluoride ions. Exogenous …

Monoclonal Antibodies Against Methyl Glucuronoxylan Epitopes For Understanding Xylan Structure And Modification, Utku Avci
Turkish Journal of Botany
Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant and renewable source that could be utilized for production of many bioproducts. It mainly consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, all of which come together to form a recalcitrant wall that impedes production of bioproducts. In order to overcome the recalcitrant nature of the biomass, it is important to fully understand how cell wall components are synthesized and assembled. Xylan is one of the hemicellulosic components of the wall that contributes to recalcitrance. Xylan has substitutions on the backbone that are formed by the orchestration of many enzymes. For example, glucuronoxylan methyltransferases are responsible for …

Histochemical And Surface Microstructural Analyses Of Floral Cuticles Provide Evidence For Differential Behaviors In Scent Volatiles Emission In Two Tuberoses (Agave Amica (Medik.) Theide And Govaerts) Cultivars From Asparagaceae, Raktim Bhattacharya, Adinpunya Mitra
Turkish Journal of Botany
Two popular cultivars of tuberose (Agave amica (Medik.) Theide and Govaerts syn. Polianthes tuberosa L.) from the family Asparagaceae, widely cultivated for floricultural purposes are ,'Calcutta Single' (CS) and 'Calcutta Double' (CD). It was evidenced that CS flowers emit intense scent volatiles as compared to CD flowers, while CD flowers retained higher contents of internal pool of scent volatiles than CS flowers. Such contrasting observations between the flowers of two cultivars suggest the role of possible barriers such as cuticles that prevent the emission of scent volatiles. The cuticular structure of both cultivars was studied using different histochemical approaches, …
