mRNA, or long-term messenger ribonucleic acid, is a single-stranded biomolecule produced from DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which is the main genetic material for many living things1. Messenger RNA (mRNA) can reach the cytoplasm by passing through the cell nucleus and carrying the genetic information stored in the DNA to the organelle called ribosome that enables the […]

Autophagy is a term of Greek origin meaning ‘eating yourself’, the highly conserved cellular mechanism in the recycling of long-lived proteins and damaged organelles. Autophagy is a degradation pathway that functions in all nucleated cells from yeast to humans and has critical importance in maintaining intracellular balance1. It was first discovered in rat liver epithelial
Ever since hybrid speciation was discovered, botanists have believed that it plays a constructive part in plants. Recent genetic evidence has shown that hybrid speciation is also common in animals1. Hybrid speciation, one of the evolutionary types, has changed our understanding of the evolution of species. Natural hybridization happens very rarely but plays a significant

In general, the compounds produced by plants have been divided into primary metabolites and secondary metabolites: Primary metabolites are simple sugars, amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids which are directly required by plant growth1,2. As their names suggest, primary metabolites are found in all plant cells and are the biomolecules underlying the existence of plants,

Recently, plant proteins have gained great importance due to the increasing demand for protein sources [1]. In this review, we are going to focus on the nutritional value of hempseed, one of the plant protein sources, and its health benefits. Hemp, one of the belongings of the family Cannabaceae, has an important place in our
