Spinacia Oleracea: Exploring the Therapeutic Potential in Persian Medicine and Modern Pharmacology
CONCLUSION: Spinach exhibits a wide range of beneficial effects on various health conditions. Its widespread availability, low cost, and exceptional nutritional richness position it as a promising candidate for further investigation. Future studies should explore the clinical effectiveness of spinach in various diseases, while taking into consideration the principles emphasized in Persian medicine to guide research and inform therapeutic strategies.PMID:38549540 | DOI:10.2174/0115701638275971240201060710 (Source: Current Drug Discovery Technologies)

Inoculation of heavy metal resistant bacteria alleviated heavy metal-induced oxidative stress biomarkers in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.)
Most vegetable crops are severely affected by the uptake of heavy metals from the soil. Heavy metals in vegetable bodies generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that unbalance the antioxidant defense system. Th... (Source: BMC Plant Biology)

External Validation of VQI and SPINACH Survival Prediction Models in Japanese Patients With Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia Who Underwent Revascularization
The global vascular guidelines for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) propose the prediction of 30-day and 2-year mortality as patient risk assessments for decision-making before revascularization. Recently, the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) model and the Surgical Reconstruction versus Peripheral Intervention in Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia (SPINACH) model were developed in the revascularized cohort in the United States and Japan, respectively.

Purification of Chloroplast Envelope, Thylakoids, and Stroma from Angiosperm Leaves
Methods Mol Biol. 2024;2776:137-149. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3726-5_7.ABSTRACTPlant cell chloroplasts are bounded by a two-membrane envelope. Their photosynthetic function is based on the development of an operational large internal membrane network, called the thylakoids, and on enzymatic processes present in the chloroplast matrix, called the stroma. Thylakoid membranes are distinct from the chloroplast envelope, and their biogenesis is dependent on biosynthetic and transport activities specific of the chloroplast envelope. Starting with the isolation of intact chloroplasts, the method presents the separation by differen...

Mitigation of arsenic accumulation in crop plants using biofertilizer
This study focused on the utilization of biofertilizer which is a combination of arsenic-accumulating microorganisms and adsorbent (carrier) in order to achieve high efficiency of arsenic immobilization and ability to apply in the field. Thirty-two bacterial strains were isolated from 9 soil samples collected from the Dongjin and Duckum mining areas in Korea using a nutrient medium amended with 2 mM sodium arsenite. Among isolates, strain DE12 identified as Bacillus megaterium exhibited the greatest arsenic accumulation capacity (0.236 mg/g dry biomass) and ability to resist up to 18 mM arsenite. Among the three agricultur...

Zero budget natural farming components Jeevamrit and Beejamrit augment Spinacia oleracea L. (spinach) growth by ameliorating the negative impacts of the salt and drought stress
The growth of crop plants, particularly spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), can be significantly impeded by salinity and drought. However, pre-treating spinach plants with traditional biofertilizers like Jeevamrit and Beejamrit (JB) substantially reverses the salinity and drought-induced inhibitory effects. Hence, this study aims to elucidate the underlying mechanisms that govern the efficacy of traditional fertilizers. The present work employed comprehensive biochemical, physiological, and molecular approaches to investigate the processes by which JB alleviates abiotic stress. The JB treatment effectively boosts spinach growt...

Effective degradation of synthetic micropollutants and real textile wastewater via a visible light-activated persulfate system using novel spinach leaf-derived biochar
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Mar 11. doi: 10.1007/s11356-024-32829-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA novel biochar (BC), derived from spinach leaves, was utilized as an activator for persulfate (PS) in the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye under visible light conditions. Thorough analyses were conducted to characterize the physical and chemical properties of the biochar. The (BC + light)/PS system exhibited superior MB degradation efficiency at 83.36%, surpassing the performance of (BC + light)/hydrogen peroxide and (BC + light)/peroxymonosulfate systems. The optimal conditions were ascertained through the implem...
