Plant diseases play an important role on our daily lives. Most of plant diseases are visible and are caused by biotic and/or abiotic factors. Symptoms are usually the results of a morphological change, alteration or damage to plant tissue and/or cells due to an interference of the plant?s metabolism. All basic structures of vascular plants are subject to attack by pathogens. The failure in accu…

Polipeptida pengaktif adenilat siklase hipofisis (PACAP) ditemukan pada tahun 1989 di Laboratorium Penelitian Biomedis AS-Jepang Universitas Tulane, dipimpin oleh Akira Arimura. Atsuro Miyata dan Akira Arimura mengisolasi dua peptida dari hipotalamus ovin, dengan 38 dan 27 residu asam amino yang dapat merangsang adenilat siklase dalam sel hipofisis, menghasilkan nama peptida (Miyata et al. Bioc…
