Isoflavonoids have a wide range of biological effects. The majority of them could be helpful, while some could be dangerous, depending on the circumstances. These are plant secondary metabolites that, through a variety of metabolic pathways, mediate numerous biological functions. They are structurally related to estrogen and progesterone and have estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects in various tissues. Legumes are rich in proestrogenic isoflavones such Biochanin A and Formononetin, which are the starting points for the methylation of genistein and daidzein. In the current study, the effects of solid matrix priming (SMP), which uses nano-chitosan to treat salt stress in mung bean sprouts, were assessed. The findings demonstrated that isoflavone concentration in mung bean sprouts considerably increased after SMP with nano-chitosan. The chosen isoflavones also underwent an in-silico drug trial and toxicity assessment.
Palynology, the study of pollen, had a big role in taxonomic identification, paleontology and forensics. Pollens from different plants had different morphology, such as in Fabaceae. This study aimed to determine the pollen grains morphology in Fabaceae (Subfamily Caesalpinioidae). Pollen morphology of 19 plant species under 7 genera Fabaceae (Subfamily Caesalpinioidae) were examined. Fresh pollen samples were collected from 4 plant species from the North 24 Pgns, 2 plant species from South 24 Pgns, 8 plant species from Kolkata, 2 plant species from Nadia and 3 plant species from Howrah. Pollens were acetolysed following standard method and observed under Compound microscope. Pollen shapes were recorded based on the P/E ratio. In general, all these pollens were small, medium and large size. Parameters measured in this study were the types of pollen sizes, pollen shape, aperture characteristic, and ornamentation type of exine and the most common aperture type was tricolporate. The most important characters included exine ornamentation (exine ornamentation type) and Apocolpium Index.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
