In vitro propagation of Rorippa indica L. from nodal and shoot tip explants

A simple micropropagation method from nodal and shoot tip explants were reported here for Rorippa indica, an economically important medicinal plant. High frequency of micro shoots were obtained from these two explants on MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of BAP (1.0 to 4.0 mg/l) and Kn (1.0 to 4.0 mg/l). Maximum number of shoots was obtained from nodal explants in the medium containing 3.0 mg/l BAP. The...

Molecular docking analysis of whey proteins with angiotensin converting enzyme to lessen high blood pressure

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) catalyses the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II a potent vasoconstrictor in a substrate concentration dependent manner and degrades bradykinin a potent vasodilator and other vasoactive peptides which leads to increase in blood pressure. Prolonged increase in blood pressure condition increases the risk of heart attacks, heart failure, stroke, or kidney failure....
