Roots of Zeyheriamontana , a species native to the savanna (Cerrado) region of central Brazil, produce lapachol, a naphthoquinone with anticancer activity. Lapachol is also the precursor of β- lapachone, a novel drug candidate for pre ventive and adjuvant can…

Investigation was made to confirm the stability of drought and salt stress tolerance in cauliflower ( Brassica oleracea var.botrytis ) mutants after regeneration and micropropagation. The N-nitroso-N-ethyleurea (NEU) and N-nitroso-N- methylurea (NMU) induced…

Light quality response is a vital environmental cue regulating plant development. Conifers, like angiosperms, respond to the changes in light quality including the level of red (R) and far-red (FR) light, which follows a latitudinal cline. R and FR wavelength…
