Disease relevance of Pennisetum

  • The plasma concentration profiles of fenbendazole (FBZ), FBZ-sulphoxide and FBZ-sulphone were measured following intraruminal administration of FBZ at 7.5 mg kg-1 body weight in cattle and buffalo offered 3 different diets: 100% dry mature sorghum hay, 100% green Pennisetum spp. and a 50:50 mix of these 2 diets [1].
  • The postprandial glycaemic response to maize (Zea mays), bajra (Pennisetum typhoideum) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) was studied in a pool of 18 healthy volunteers and 14 patients having non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) [2].
 

High impact information on Pennisetum

  • We report the complete DNA sequence of a genomic clone of Adh1 from Pennisetum glaucum cv. Tift 23DB (pearl millet) [3].
  • Bio-catalyzer alpha.rho No.11 (Bio-normalyzer) and its by-product are natural health products made by yeast fermentation of glucose, Carica papaya Linn., Pennisetum pupureum Schum., and Sechium edule Swartz [4].
  • Cloning and regulation of a stress-regulated Pennisetum glaucum vacuolar ATPase c gene and characterization of its promoter that is expressed in shoot hairs and floral organs [5].
  • The deduced amino acid sequence of the clone showed 92% and 56% identity with Pennisetum and rice glyoxalase II, respectively, and 30% identity was observed with the human glyoxalase II [6].
  • The effect of osmotic stress (-0.35 MPa) on the cell water balance and apical growth was studied non-invasively for maize (Zea mays L., cv. LG 11) and pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum L., cv. MH 179) by (1)H NMR microscopy in combination with water uptake measurements [7].
 

Biological context of Pennisetum

  • Exon sequences from Pennisetum and maize have been subjected to relative rate tests; the maize and Pennisetum Adh1 lineages evolve at equal rates [3].
 

Anatomical context of Pennisetum

  • Recently, we showed that a traditional fermentation procedure of two pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum L. Lecke) cultivars grown in Sudan modified their effects on the weight of the thyroid gland and thyroid hormone profile in rats [8].
 

Associations of Pennisetum with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Pennisetum

  • Pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides) produces three ADH isozymes, sets I, II, and III, with set III being expressed only in anaerobically treated seeds of seedlings [14].
  • Anti-PEPC antiserum raised against A. hypochondriacus enzyme showed high cross-reactivity with PEPC in leaf extracts of A. hypochondriacus or Amaranthus viridis or Alternanthera pungens (all C4 dicots), but limited cross-reactivity with that of Zea mays, Sorghum or Pennisetum (all C4 monocots) [15].
  • Double-stranded RNA specific nuclease from germinating embryos of Pennisetum typhoides [16].
  • We have cloned three different isoforms of vacuolar ATPase subunit c (VHA-c) from Pennisetum glaucum with homologies among themselves varying from 38% to approximately 73% at the nucleic acid level [17].
  • Eight of the subjects were investigated twice, in March (dry season) when there is no agricultural activity, and in July--August (rainy season) when heavy physical work is performed: mostly hoeing, weeding and replanting sorghum (Sorghum vulgare) and millet (Pennisetum typhoïdes) [18].
