Outbreaks of Shigella sonnei infection associated with eating fresh parsley--United States and Canada, July-August 1998. (1/112)
In August 1998, the Minnesota Department of Health reported to CDC two restaurant-associated outbreaks of Shigella sonnei infections. Isolates from both outbreaks had two closely related pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns that differed only by a single band. Epidemiologic investigations implicated chopped, uncooked, curly parsley as the common vehicle for these outbreaks. Through inquiries to health departments and public health laboratories, six similar outbreaks were identified during July-August (in California [two], Massachusetts, and Florida in the United States and in Ontario and Alberta in Canada). Isolates from five of these outbreaks had the same PFGE pattern identified in the two outbreaks in Minnesota. This report describes the epidemiologic, traceback, environmental, and laboratory investigations, which implicated parsley imported from a farm in Mexico as the source of these outbreaks. (+info)Effects of total coumarins of Cnidium monnieri on bone density and biomechanics of glucocorticoids-induced osteoporosis in rats. (2/112)
AIM: To evaluate the effects of total coumarins from dried fruits of Cnidium monnieri (TCCM) on glucocorticoids (GC)-induced osteoporosis (OP) in rats. METHODS: Single photon absorptiometric and biomechanical character measurements of femurs were used. RESULTS: The bone density (BD) indices in proximal, middle, and distal segments in GC group were decreased by 12% (P < 0.05), 14% (P < 0.05), and 12% (P < 0.05), respectively vs control group. The BD on proximal, middle, and distal segments in GC-TCCM group were increased by 26% (P < 0.01), 34% (P < 0.01), and 31% (P < 0.01), respectively vs GC group. The biomechanical competence in femoral middle segments in GC group tended to decrease vs control group. In GC-TCCM group, the torsional strength, energy, maximal torsional angle, and rigidity were increased by 15% (P < 0.05), 32% (P < 0.05), 14% (P > 0.05), and 13% (P > 0.05), respectively vs the GC group. CONCLUSION: TCCM not only prevented glucocorticoids-induced osteoporosis but also increased the torsional strength of femurs in rats. (+info)Early nuclear events in plant defence signalling: rapid gene activation by WRKY transcription factors. (3/112)
Parsley WRKY proteins comprise a family of plant-specific zinc-finger-type factors implicated in the regulation of genes associated with pathogen defence. In vitro, these proteins bind specifically to functionally defined TGAC-containing W box promoter elements within the Pathogenesis-Related Class10 (PR-10) genes. Here we present in vivo data demonstrating that WRKY1 is a transcriptional activator mediating fungal elicitor-induced gene expression by binding to W box elements. In situ RNA hybridization revealed that the WRKY1 gene is rapidly and locally activated in parsley leaf tissue around fungal infection sites. Transient expression studies in parsley protoplasts showed that a specific arrangement of W box elements in the WRKY1 promoter itself is necessary and sufficient for early activation and that WRKY1 binds to such elements. Our results demonstrate that WRKY transcription factors play an important role in the regulation of early defence-response genes including regulation of WRKY1. (+info)Overexpression of a designed 2.2 kb gene of eukaryotic phenylalanine ammonia-lyase in Escherichia coli. (4/112)
Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.5) is a key enzyme in the secondary metabolism of higher plants catalyzing the non-oxidative conversion of L-phenylalanine into transcinnamate. The nucleotide sequence of its 2.2 kb gene was designed for expression in Escherichia coli and synthesized in a single reaction from 108 oligonucleotides using assembly PCR. After amplification, the gene was cloned into the expression vector pT7-7 and coexpressed with the chaperone HSP-60 system. The expression system yielded 70 mg of fully active enzyme per liter culture. (+info)rsmC of the soft-rotting bacterium Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora negatively controls extracellular enzyme and harpin(Ecc) production and virulence by modulating levels of regulatory RNA (rsmB) and RNA-binding protein (RsmA). (5/112)
Previous studies have shown that the production of extracellular enzymes (pectate lyase [Pel], polygalacturonase [Peh], cellulase [Cel], and protease [Prt]) and harpin(Ecc) (the elicitor of hypersensitive reaction) in Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora is regulated by RsmA, an RNA-binding protein, and rsmB, a regulatory RNA (Rsm stands for regulator of secondary metabolites) (Y. Liu et al., Mol. Microbiol. 29:219-234, 1998). We have cloned and characterized a novel regulatory gene, rsmC, that activates RsmA production and represses extracellular enzyme and harpin(Ecc) production, rsmB transcription, and virulence in E. carotovora subsp. carotovora. In an rsmC knockout mutant of E. carotovora subsp. carotovora Ecc71 carrying the chromosomal copy of the wild-type rsmA(+) allele, the basal levels of Pel, Peh, Cel, Prt, and harpin(Ecc) as well as the amounts of rsmB, pel-1, peh-1, celV, and hrpN(Ecc) transcripts are high, whereas the levels of rsmA transcripts and RsmA protein are low. Furthermore, the expression of an rsmA-lacZ gene fusion is lower in the RsmC(-) mutant than in the RsmC(+) parent. Conversely, the expression of an rsmB-lacZ operon fusion is higher in the RsmC(-) mutant than in the RsmC(+) parent. These observations establish that RsmC negatively regulates rsmB transcription but positively affects RsmA production. Indeed, comparative studies with an RsmC(-) mutant, an RsmA(-) mutant, and an RsmA(-) RsmC(-) double mutant have revealed that the negative effects on exoprotein production and virulence are due to the cumulative regulatory effects of RsmC on rsmA and rsmB. Exoprotein production by the RsmC(-) mutant is partially dependent on the quorum sensing signal, N-(3-oxohexanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone. Southern blot data and analysis of PCR products disclosed the presence of rsmC sequences in E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica, E. carotovora subsp. betavasculorum, and E. carotovora subsp. carotovora. These findings collectively support the idea that rsmA and rsmB expression in these plant pathogenic Erwinia species is controlled by RsmC or a functional homolog of RsmC. (+info)Phosphorylation of the parsley bZIP transcription factor CPRF2 is regulated by light. (6/112)
The analysis of the complex network of signal transduction chains has demonstrated the importance of transcription factor activities for the control of gene expression. To understand how transcription factor activities in plants are regulated in response to light, we analyzed the common plant regulatory factor 2 (CPRF2) from parsley (Petroselinum crispum L.) that interacts with promoter elements of light-regulated genes. Here, we demonstrate that CPRF2 is a phosphoprotein in vivo and that its phosphorylation state is rapidly increased in response to light. Phosphorylation in vitro as well as in vivo occurs primarily within the C-terminal half of the factor, and is caused by a cytosolic 40-kDa protein serine kinase. In contrast to other plant basic leucine-zipper motif factors, phosphorylation of CPRF2 does not alter its DNA binding activity. Therefore, we discuss alternative functions of the light-dependent phosphorylation of CPRF2 including the regulation of its nucleocytoplasmic partitioning. (+info)Phytophotodermatitis associated with parsnip picking. (7/112)
Phytophotodermatitis to certain plant groups is a well recognised entity. The combination of sunlight exposure and contact with plants of the umbelliferae family leads to the development of painful, erythematous, and bullous lesions and later to cutaneous hyperpigmentation. Agricultural workers and many clinicians often fail to make this link when patients present with these lesions. An incident involving 11 patients is presented to high-light this problem. (+info)Adipose tissue triacylglycerols of rats are modulated differently by dietary isomeric octadecenoic acids from coriander oil and high oleic sunflower oil. (8/112)
Earlier feeding studies of rats revealed that petroselinic acid [18:1(n-12)] from triacylglycerols of coriander (Coriandrum sativum) oil is extensively incorporated into the lipids of heart and liver and metabolized via beta-oxidation and chain elongation. We report here the composition and stereospecific distribution of acyl moieties, particularly isomeric octadecenoyl moieties, in adipose tissue triacylglycerols of male weaned Wistar rats fed diets containing, in addition to 20 g corn oil/kg feed, 120 g coriander oil per kg feed at a level of 63 g 18:1(n-12) moieties/100 g acyl moieties of the oil for 10 wk. For comparison, a group of rats was fed a similar corn oil-containing isocaloric diet with large proportions of oleoyl moieties [18:1(n-9)] from high oleic sunflower oil [72 g 18:1(n-9)/100 g acyl moieties of the oil]. The composition of the triacylglycerols of epididymal, subcutaneous and perirenal adipose tissues was very similar for each feeding group, broadly reflecting the composition of the dietary oils. Feeding coriander oil, compared with high oleic sunflower oil, led to extensive incorporation of 18:1(n-12) into the triacylglycerols of the adipose tissues with a concomitant significantly and dramatically lower 18:1(n-9) concentration and, as a consequence, to the generation of triacylglycerol species containing 18:1(n-12) moieties. Petroselinoyl moieties from coriander oil were esterified predominantly at the sn-1,3 positions of the adipose tissue triacylglycerols; 18:1(n-9) moieties from high oleic sunflower oil were fairly evenly distributed between the sn-1,3 and sn-2 positions. We suggest that acyltransferases involved in the biosynthesis of adipose tissue triacylglycerols direct 18:1(n-12) moieties preferentially to sn-1,3-positions. (+info)Apiaceae is a family of flowering plants also known as Umbelliferae. It includes aromatic herbs and vegetables such as carrots, parsley, celery, fennel, and dill. The plants in this family are characterized by their umbrella-shaped clusters of flowers (umbels) and hollow stems. Some members of Apiaceae contain toxic compounds, so caution should be taken when identifying and consuming wild plants from this family.
'Eryngium' is a genus name that refers to a group of plants commonly known as sea holly or eryngo. These plants belong to the family Apiaceae and are native to various parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, and North America. They are characterized by their distinctive prickly leaves and metallic blue or silver flowers.
While 'Eryngium' is a plant genus name and not a medical term, some species of Eryngium have been used in traditional medicine for various purposes, such as treating digestive issues, skin conditions, and respiratory problems. However, it is important to note that the use of these plants as medicinal remedies should be done under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional, as they can also have potential side effects or interact with other medications.
"Petroselinum" is the genus name for a group of plants that include several types of parsley. The most common variety is often used as a herb in cooking and is known as "Petroselinum crispum." It is native to the Mediterranean region and is now grown worldwide. Parsley has a bright, fresh flavor and is often used as a garnish or added to recipes for additional flavor. In addition to its use as a culinary herb, parsley has also been used in traditional medicine for its potential diuretic and digestive properties. However, it's important to note that the scientific evidence supporting these uses is limited, and more research is needed before any firm conclusions can be drawn.
Cnidium is a genus of plants in the family Apiaceae, also known as Umbelliferae. The name Cnidium may refer to several different plant species, but the one that is most commonly associated with medical use is Cnidium monnieri (also known as Monnier's snowparsley or She Chuang Zi).
Cnidium monnieri has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to treat a variety of conditions, including skin diseases, fungal infections, and sexual dysfunction. The active components of the plant are thought to include coumarins, osthole, and imperatorin, which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties.
However, it is important to note that while some studies suggest that Cnidium monnieri may have potential health benefits, more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety. Additionally, Cnidium monnieri supplements and extracts can interact with certain medications and may cause side effects, so it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before using them.
'Daucus carota' is the scientific name for the common carrot, a root vegetable that is widely consumed and cultivated around the world. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, a type of vitamin A, and are also a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin K, potassium, and other nutrients.
The 'Daucus' part of the name refers to the genus of plants that carrots belong to, while 'carota' is the specific species name. This plant is native to Europe and Southwestern Asia, but it is now grown in many parts of the world due to its popularity as a food crop.
Carrots can be consumed raw or cooked and are often used in a variety of dishes such as salads, soups, stews, and juices. They come in different colors, including orange, purple, yellow, and white, although the most common type is the orange one. Carrots have numerous health benefits, such as improving vision, reducing the risk of heart disease, and promoting healthy skin.
Bupleurum is a genus of plants in the family Apiaceae, also known as the carrot or parsley family. The name "Bupleurum" refers to several dozen species of herbaceous plants that are native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Some species of Bupleurum have been used in traditional medicine in various cultures for centuries.
In particular, Bupleurum chinense and Bupleurum falcatum have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. These species are known as "Chai Hu" or "Radix Bupleuri" in TCM and are believed to have various medicinal properties, such as regulating the flow of Qi (vital energy), reducing fever, relieving cough and asthma, and treating liver disorders.
The active compounds found in Bupleurum species include saponins, flavonoids, and essential oils. Some studies have suggested that these compounds may have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antioxidant effects, but more research is needed to confirm their therapeutic potential and safety.
It's important to note that while some Bupleurum species have been used in traditional medicine for centuries, they should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment. Before taking any herbal supplements, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
"Carum" is a genus name that refers to a group of plants in the family Apiaceae, also known as the carrot or parsley family. One of the most well-known species in this genus is Carum carvi, which is commonly known as caraway. Caraway is an herb that is native to Europe and Western Asia, and its seeds are used as a spice in cooking and baking. The seeds have a pungent, aromatic flavor and are often used to add flavor to breads, cakes, cheeses, and other dishes.
Carum plants are typically biennial or perennial herbs that grow to be about 1-2 feet tall. They have feathery leaves and small white or pink flowers that bloom in umbels. The seeds are small and crescent-shaped, with a brown or grayish color.
Caraway seeds contain several compounds that contribute to their flavor and aroma, including carvone, limonene, and anethole. Carvone is the primary compound responsible for the distinctive taste and smell of caraway seeds. In addition to their use as a spice, caraway seeds have also been used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments, such as digestive problems and respiratory issues. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support these uses.
'Angelica sinensis', also known as Dong Quai or Chinese Angelica, is a herbaceous plant native to China. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries for various purposes, such as promoting menstruation and blood circulation, alleviating menopausal symptoms, and treating anemia, among others.
The roots of the plant are typically harvested and dried before being used in various forms, including powders, capsules, and teas. Some studies suggest that 'Angelica sinensis' may have medicinal properties due to its high content of essential oils, phytochemicals, and other bioactive compounds. However, more research is needed to fully understand its potential health benefits and risks.
It is important to note that while some natural remedies can be beneficial, they should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
'Allium' is a genus of plants that includes several species which are commonly used as vegetables or spices, such as onions, garlic, leeks, shallots, and chives. These plants are characterized by their distinctive strong smell and taste, which are caused by sulfur-containing compounds. They have been widely used in traditional medicine for their potential health benefits, including antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Medicinal plants are defined as those plants that contain naturally occurring chemical compounds which can be used for therapeutic purposes, either directly or indirectly. These plants have been used for centuries in various traditional systems of medicine, such as Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and Native American medicine, to prevent or treat various health conditions.
Medicinal plants contain a wide variety of bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenes, and saponins, among others. These compounds have been found to possess various pharmacological properties, such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities.
Medicinal plants can be used in various forms, including whole plant material, extracts, essential oils, and isolated compounds. They can be administered through different routes, such as oral, topical, or respiratory, depending on the desired therapeutic effect.
It is important to note that while medicinal plants have been used safely and effectively for centuries, they should be used with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Some medicinal plants can interact with prescription medications or have adverse effects if used inappropriately.
Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, are a group of plants that produce seeds enclosed within an ovary. The term "angiosperm" comes from the Greek words "angeion," meaning "case" or "capsule," and "sperma," meaning "seed." This group includes the majority of plant species, with over 300,000 known species.
Angiosperms are characterized by their reproductive structures, which consist of flowers. The flower contains male and female reproductive organs, including stamens (which produce pollen) and carpels (which contain the ovules). After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed, while the ovary matures into a fruit, which provides protection and nutrition for the developing embryo.
Angiosperms are further divided into two main groups: monocots and eudicots. Monocots have one cotyledon or embryonic leaf, while eudicots have two. Examples of monocots include grasses, lilies, and orchids, while examples of eudicots include roses, sunflowers, and legumes.
Angiosperms are ecologically and economically important, providing food, shelter, and other resources for many organisms, including humans. They have evolved a wide range of adaptations to different environments, from the desert to the ocean floor, making them one of the most diverse and successful groups of plants on Earth.
