	Beta-Sitosterol
		Beta-sitosterol is one of a group of organic compounds found in plants that, alone and in combination with similar plant sterols, reduces blood levels of cholesterol.
		Ingesting plant sterols interferes with beta-carotene and vitamin E absorption, resulting in lower blood levels of these nutrients.
		Plant sterols as cholesterol-lowering agents: clinical trials in patients with hypercholesterolemia and studies of sterol balance.

	Beta Fish Plant - Roots in Water - Will it Grow?
		Another variation is this: I received a plant in a clear glass vase with the glass marbles used as the "soil".
		These plants would suffer greatly if their roots were exposed for any length of time (minutes) to the dry air which they are not adapted to.
		Plants that are grown completely in water are generally a novelty item, not a plant to enjoy for the long haul.

	Full Text - Transfer and expression of the genes of Bacillus Branched chain Alpha-oxo Acid Decarboxylase in ...
		To examine the role of branched chain fatty acids in plants and the potential for low temperature tolerance, the A and B genes encoding the alpha and beta polypeptides, respectively, of the branched chain alpha-oxo acid decarboxylase were introduced into the genome of tomato plants.
		All plants were placed in a growth chamber for 15 days under optimal growth conditions, and then transferred to another growth chamber where the low-temperature regime was initiated (Table 1).
		Using the anti-beta antibody, plant 1 showed a strong blotting signal at the position identical to the beta polypeptide, indicating the presence of the beta polypeptide in the tissue.

	Hormonal plant growth regulator - Patent 4380626
		When sprayed onto the plants in a suitable dilution 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid enhances the intensity of respiration, increases the activity of chlorophyllase and thus decreases the chlorophyll content of the leaves and exerts defoliating activity.
		The gaseous ethylene evolved in the plant is identified and measured with the aid of an ethylene standard obtained from a flask from which a calibration curve is prepared.
		The plants are decapitated, whereupon the primary foliage leafs standing on the roots are dusted with the complex.

	Beta Glucan : by Ray Sahelian, M.D., beta glucan benefits
		Beta Glucan is a unique polysaccharide composed of glucose molecules extracted and purified from the cell wall of common baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
		We examined the effects of a beta glucan -enriched fruit juice on serum lipids and lipoproteins and on markers of cholesterol absorption (serum concentrations of plant sterols) and synthesis (serum concentrations of lathosterol).
		Beta glucan was fed in the drinking water for 10 d before intranasal inoculation of HSV-1 or sacrifice.

	Functional Foods Fact Sheet: Plant Stanols and Sterols
		Plant sterols are present naturally in small quantities in many fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, cereals, legumes, vegetable oils, and other plant sources.
		By modifying plant stanols and sterols structurally to form stanol and sterol esters, they are easily incorporated into fat-containing foods without losing their effectiveness in lowering cholesterol.
		Plant sterols and stanols and their esters are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) food-grade substances, as a history of safe intake has not demonstrated any harmful health effects.

		Autofluorescence in plant tissues is a common and useful phenomenon arising from a variety of endogenous biomolecules that absorb light in many regions of the near-ultraviolet and visible light spectrum.
		The part of the plant commonly eaten as a vegetable is the long, narrow taproot that extends into the ground directly beneath the stem.
		A revival of interest in the plants in the late 1990s, however, was marked by the introduction of a number of sun-loving, magnificently colored varieties.

		Plant sterols and plant stanols are collectively known as phytosterols.
		Plant sterols are plant compounds with chemical structures similar to that of cholesterol.
		Because of these strong findings, the National Cholesterol Education Panel issued a new recommendation in 2001 that plant stanols and sterols be added to cholesterol-lowering regimens, along with the more traditional cholesterol-fighting tools, such as regular exercise, weight loss, and a low-Fat diet (1).

	Beta-Carboline Potentiation of DMT and Other Indole Psychedelics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The plant material is smoked with a match, lighter or torch in such a way to promote the boiling of the material, rather than burning it.
		First, although the literature would indicate that the harmine MAO inhibition should be reversed in about five hours, the effects from all of the smoked plant material continued for at least 24 to 48 hours.
		We hypothesize that this effect is due primarily to beta-carbolines other than harmine present in the plant material which, while qualitatively weaker as MAO inhibitors, may have a duration of effect which is much longer.

		Betas require very little space to be happy and if you watch their behavior, they don't swim much anyway.
		Bettaexpert is right about the plants, it does leave them susceptible to diseases, I had live plants in one of my tanks, and it always seemed to cause my betta to get sick, on the other hand, I know others with live plants that do well.
		I know that the plant is not blocking his air because it is a wide mouthed bowl, and the plant doesn't even take up half of the mouth.

	Thomas Merkle, research group
		In animals, G alpha subunits are anchored to membranes through a myristoyl or/and palmitoyl moiety attached at the amino terminus whereas G beta subunits are tethered to membranes by interaction with G gamma, which by itself is localized to the membrane via a prenyl group attached to the carboxyl terminus.
		The primary structures of G beta proteins show a highly conserved heptad repeat domain at the amino terminus which enables the formation of the G beta-gamma coiled coil.
		We also raised transgenic tobacco plants that either express wild-type G beta fusion proteins with GFP or fusion proteins which are mutated at the amino terminus of G beta.

		Another curious observation is the "9 minute barrier." So far, we have not been successful in causing the DMT imagery to last longer than 9 minutes, irrespective of the dosage, or the type of underlying predose plant material.
		However, when we smoked DMT and after the flash smoked the beta-carboline plant material we were unable to cause any clear DMT imagery.

		After smoking about one quarter of the plant material, each fresh lungfull brought on, within seconds, powerful "starburst" and "intersecting lightning bolt" hallucinations which, with eyes opened, obscured a well-lit room.
		The "voice" phenomenon was loud and clear and very unsettling (the content of the trip has been described in High Frontiers, Issue 2.) Before this trip we had attempted on several occasions to invoke the voice phenomenon with the same mushrooms at dosages of up to 10 grams, to no avail.
