Cultivation, Genetic, Ethnopharmacology, Phytochemistry and Pharmacology of Moringa oleifera Leaves: An Overview
Alessandro Leone,Alberto Spada,Alberto Battezzati,Alberto Schiraldi,Junior Aristil,Simona Bertoli +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a germplasm bank encompassing the genetic variability present in Moringa is needed to perform breeding programmes and develop elite varieties adapted to local conditions and further studies on humans are recommended.

A specialized metabolic network selectively modulates Arabidopsis root microbiota.
Ancheng C. Huang,Ting Jiang,Yong-Xin Liu,Yue Chen Bai,James Reed,Baoyuan Qu,Alain Goossens,Hans-Wilhelm Nützmann,Yang Bai,Anne Osbourn +9 more
TL;DR: A specialized metabolic network expressed in the roots of A. thaliana that consists of functionally divergent triterpene biosynthetic gene clusters connected by scattered genes outside the clusters that encode promiscuous acyltransferases and alcohol dehydrogenases is elucidated.

MEGA4: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) Software Version 4.0
TL;DR: Version 4 of MEGA software expands on the existing facilities for editing DNA sequence data from autosequencers, mining Web-databases, performing automatic and manual sequence alignment, analyzing sequence alignments to estimate evolutionary distances, inferring phylogenetic trees, and testing evolutionary hypotheses.

Structure and function of sphingolipid- and cholesterol-rich membrane rafts.
Deborah A. Brown,Erwin London +1 more
TL;DR: This work will review the evidence that rafts exist in cells and focus on their structure, or the organization of raft lipids and proteins, and the role of rafts in signaling in hematopoietic cells.

Plant Immunity to Insect Herbivores
Gregg A. Howe,Georg Jander +1 more
TL;DR: A detailed understanding of plant immunity to arthropod herbivores will provide new insights into basic mechanisms of chemical communication and plant-animal coevolution and may also facilitate new approaches to crop protection and improvement.
Journal ArticleDOI
The biological action of saponins in animal systems: a review
TL;DR: Saponins are steroid or triterpenoid glycosides, common in a large number of plants and plant products that are important in human and animal nutrition and they have also been found to significantly affect growth, feed intake and reproduction in animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological activities and distribution of plant saponins.
TL;DR: Isolation studies of saponins were examined to determine which are the more commonly studied plant families and in which families saponin have been identified.
