Disease relevance of Abelmoschus

• Roles of arginine in growth of Clostridium botulinum Okra B [1].

High impact information on Abelmoschus

• We have found that C. botulinum Okra B consumed a level of arginine (20 g/liter) higher than the basal requirement for growth (3 g/liter) [1].
• Okra, with a moderate oxalate content (264 mg. per load) had a negligible bioavailable oxalate (0.28 mg. per load) [2].
• Glucose or other carbohydrates were not essential for Okra B, although they did stimulate growth [3].
• Okra crop was sprayed with sumicidin 20E (Fenvalerate 20% EC) at the rate of 300 ml/ha (C1), 375 ml/ha (C2) and 500 ml/ha (C3) [4].
• Okra stem segments were incubated with and without the plant hormone auxin before transference to sorbitol solution [5].

Associations of Abelmoschus with chemical compounds

• Quantitatively, the most essential nutrients for Okra B were arginine and phenylalanine [3].
• Production of lepidimoide by an endophytic fungus from polysaccharide extracted from Abelmoschus sp.: identification of the product and the organism producing it [6].
• Reduction of lead accumulation by ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid and nitrilo triacetic acid in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) grown in sewage-irrigated soil [7].
• Polysaccharide extracted from okra (Abelmoschus esculentum Moench) is considered to have a similar structure to lepidimoide as its repeating unit [6].
• Reduction of manganese accumulation by ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid and nitrilo triacetic acid in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) grown in sewage-irrigated soil [8].

Gene context of Abelmoschus

• Alterations in activities of acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, ATPase and ATP content in response to seasonally varying Pi status in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) [9].
• The binding activity of the recombinant H(C) of 111/NT to the protein receptor synaptotagmin II, in the presence of ganglioside GT1b, was 4.2-fold less than Okra/NT, consistent with the corresponding two NTs [10].
• Streptozotocin-induced diabetic (STZ-diabetic) rats were employed to investigate the mechanism(s) whereby myricetin, the active principle of Abelmoschus moschatus (Malvaceae), exerts its glucose-lowering effects [11].
