No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-01-01; Jatropha mollissima is endemic to Brazil and is used for traditional medicinal purposes, including the treatment of snakebite. In this study, latex obtained from this plant was fractioned using reversed-phase chromatography, and the fractions were then screened for peptides. A 755 g/mol peptide was obta...
Using histological analysis of the induction of secondary somatic embryogenesis (SSE) in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) as a guide, we performed 2-DE for protein separation and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight-tandem mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-TOF-MS) for protein identification in cotyledons of cassava somatic embryos undergoing SSE. Reference map obtained by 2- DE within a pH ra...
Although the potential of the seed Jatropha as a source of raw material for the production of biodiesel is widely recognized, little is known about the deposition patterns of oil and protein during seed development. The availability of this knowledge will be crucial for the creation of new genotypes to meet the demand from the biodiesel industry. In this study, we performed an initial proteomic analysis of the ...
An increasing number of peptides isolated from a range of tissue plants have highlighted these molecules as a potential study target. Those peptides demonstrate a large functional variety and, therefore, have been frequently described in the scientific literature of the last years. The present work reports a molecular prospecting and functional characterization of plant "short-peptides". Initially, the Calotrop...
