  • Protein Interaction Pathway
    Original Article Anti-diarrheal Activity of Caffeine: A Modulatory Effect with Loperamide and through 6FH5 (PIK3CG) Protein Interaction Pathway Farhana Faria1, Shardar Mohammad Hafiz Hassan1, Rajib Hossain1, Mahmuda Akter Mukta1, Md. Ashiqur Rahman Chowdhury2, Muhammad Torequl Islam1,* 1Department of Pharmacy, Life Science Faculty, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science and Technology University, Gopalganj, Dhaka, BANGLADESH. 2Department of Chemistry, University of Chittagong, Chittagonj, BANGLADESH. ABSTRACT Background: Caffeine (CAF) is known for its central nervous system stimulatory effect. Although, CAF use in diarrhea, especially in Runner's diarrhea is still controversial, but it has been reported that dark tea containing CAF has anti-diarrheal effect on Sennae- mediated diarrhea in mice. Aim: To evaluate the anti-diarrheal effect of CAF and its modulatory effects on the standard anti-diarrheal drug loperamide (LOP), an opioid receptor agonist. Materials and Methods: CAF (15 mg/kg, i.p.) with or without LOP (3 mg/kg, p.o.) was administered to the Swiss mice (Mus musculus) previously treated with castor oil. Additionally, an in silico study was also performed to see the possible anti-diarrheal mechanism of CAF and LOP. Results: CAF increased the latent period, while decreasing the diarrheal defecation during the observation period (4 hr) in the test animals. Interestingly, CAF co-treated with the LOP exhibited a prominent anti-diarrheal effect in comparison to the negative control, CAF and LOP groups. Further, in silico study suggests that CAF have the most binding affinity with the 6FH5 (PIK3CG) protein (-8.22 KJ/mol) of adenosine receptor, while LOP with the μ-opioid receptor. Conclusion: CAF showed significant anti-diarrheal effect as well as strengthen the anti-diarrheal effect of LOP in castor oil-induced diarrheal mice.

Schneider *, Sherwin Carlquist Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, 1212 Mission Canyon Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93105, USA ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: Pit membranes of stem tracheids of all recognized species of Barclaya, an Indomalaysian genus of Received 3 November 2008 Nymphaeaceae, were studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Pit membranes of the tracheids Received in revised form 18 February 2009 are composed of two thick layers, both constructed of fibrils much larger than those of tracheary Accepted 19 February 2009 elements of angiosperms other than Nymphaeaceae. The outer (distal) layer, which comprises the Available online 3 March 2009 continuous primary wall around the tracheids, is spongiform, perforated by porosities of relatively uniform size, and confined to or most prominent on end walls of stem tracheids. The second layer Keywords: consists of thick widely spaced fibrils that are oriented axially and are laid down proximally (facing the Microstructure cell lumen) to the first (outer) layer, although continuous with it. These axial fibrils are attached at their Nymphaeaceae Pit membrane ends to the pit cavities. This peculiar microstructure is not known outside Nymphaeaceae except in Tracheid Brasenia and Cabomba (Cabombaceae, Nymphaeales), and has not been previously described for Barclaya. Xylem The longitudinally oriented threads and strands in perforation plates of secondary xylem of wood and stems of a variety of primitive woody angiosperms (e.g., Illicium) are not homologous to the pit membrane structure observed in stem tracheids of Barclaya, which, like other Nymphaeaceae, has only primary xylem and no perforation plates.

  • Pollen Ontogeny in Brasenia (Cabombaceae, Nymphaeales)1
    American Journal of Botany 93(3), 344–356 2006. POLLEN ONTOGENY IN BRASENIA (CABOMBACEAE,NYMPHAEALES)1 MACKENZIE L. TAYLOR2,3 AND JEFFREY M. OSBORN2,4 2 Division of Science, Truman State University, Kirksville, Missouri 63501-4221 USA Brasenia is a monotypic genus sporadically distributed throughout the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Africa. It is one of eight genera that comprise the two families of Nymphaeales, or water lilies: Cabombaceae (Brasenia, Cabomba) and Nymphaeaceae (Victoria, Euryale, Nymphaea, Ondinea, Barclaya, Nuphar). Evidence from a range of studies indicates that Nymphaeales are among the most primitive angiosperms. Despite their phylogenetic utility, pollen developmental characters are not well known in Brasenia. This paper is the first to describe the complete pollen developmental sequence in Brasenia schreberi. Anthers at the microspore mother cell, tetrad, free microspore, and mature pollen grain stages were studied using combined scanning electron, transmission electron, and light microscopy. Both tetragonal and decussate tetrads have been identified in Brasenia, indicating successive microsporogenesis. The exine is tectate-columellate. The tetrad stage proceeds rapidly, and the infratectal columellae are the first exine elements to form. Development of the tectum and the foot layer is initiated later during the tetrad stage, with the tectum forming discontinuously. The endexine lamellae form during the free microspore stage, and their development varies in the apertural and non-apertural regions of the pollen wall. Degradation of the secretory tapetum also occurs during the free microspore stage. Unlike other water lilies, Brasenia is wind-pollinated, and several pollen characters appear to be correlated with this pollination syndrome. The adaptive significance of these characters, in contrast to those of the fly-pollinated genus Cabomba, has been considered.

  • Water Lilies As Emerging Models for Darwin's Abominable Mystery
    OPEN Citation: Horticulture Research (2017) 4, 17051; doi:10.1038/hortres.2017.51 www.nature.com/hortres REVIEW ARTICLE Water lilies as emerging models for Darwin’s abominable mystery Fei Chen1, Xing Liu1, Cuiwei Yu2, Yuchu Chen2, Haibao Tang1 and Liangsheng Zhang1 Water lilies are not only highly favored aquatic ornamental plants with cultural and economic importance but they also occupy a critical evolutionary space that is crucial for understanding the origin and early evolutionary trajectory of flowering plants. The birth and rapid radiation of flowering plants has interested many scientists and was considered ‘an abominable mystery’ by Charles Darwin. In searching for the angiosperm evolutionary origin and its underlying mechanisms, the genome of Amborella has shed some light on the molecular features of one of the basal angiosperm lineages; however, little is known regarding the genetics and genomics of another basal angiosperm lineage, namely, the water lily. In this study, we reviewed current molecular research and note that water lily research has entered the genomic era. We propose that the genome of the water lily is critical for studying the contentious relationship of basal angiosperms and Darwin’s ‘abominable mystery’. Four pantropical water lilies, especially the recently sequenced Nymphaea colorata, have characteristics such as small size, rapid growth rate and numerous seeds and can act as the best model for understanding the origin of angiosperms. The water lily genome is also valuable for revealing the genetics of ornamental traits and will largely accelerate the molecular breeding of water lilies.
