The activities of potato nucleotide pyrophosphatase and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase against a common substrate, p-nitrophenyl thymidine 5'-phosphate and its histochemical analogue, AS-BI-naphthyl thymidine 5'-phosphate, were determined with the aid of relatively specific inhibitors, NAD and
Cellulose is the primary determinant of mechanical strength in plant tissues. Late-season lodging is inversely related to the amount of cellulose in a unit length of the stem. Wheat is the most widely grown of all the crops globally, yet information on its CesA gene family is limited. We have
Methylotrophic bacteria were isolated from the phyllosphere of different crop plants such as sugarcane, pigeonpea, mustard, potato and radish. The methylotrophic isolates were differentiated based on growth characteristics and colony morphology on methanol supplemented ammonium mineral salts medium.
We isolated three kinds of full-length cDNA clones for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) from wheat. They showed over 80% sequence homology with potato and alfalfa at the amino acid level, suggesting that the genes are highly conserved in angiosperms. The lack of a plastidic signal sequence,
The activity of mitochondrial phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) was shown for the first time in plants. It was observed in etiolated seedlings from durum wheat, barley, tomato, spelt and green seedlings of maize, but not in potato and topinambur tubers and lentil etiolated seedlings. This result was
The cytochrome c reductase complexes from fungi and mammals both contain a 14-kD protein (yeast, 14.4 kD; bovine, 13.4 kD) that does not directly participate in electron transfer but possibly is indirectly involved in the function of the complex and has a role in assembly of the multimeric enzyme. A
We investigated whether and how mitochondria from durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) and potato (Solanum tuberosum), isolated from etiolated shoots and a cell suspension culture, respectively, oxidize externally added NADH via the mitochondrial shuttles; in particular, we compared the shuttles and
Vitamin A deficiency is a public health problem in a large number of countries. Biofortification of major staple crops (wheat [Triticum aestivum], rice [Oryza sativa], maize [Zea mays], and potato [Solanum tuberosum]) with β-carotene has the potential to alleviate this nutritional problem.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the reaction of 118 blood culture isolates of coagulase negative staphylococci with a panel of seven lectins.
METHODS
The interactions between the bacterial suspensions and lectins from Arachnis hypogaea (peanut agglutinin), Bauhina purpurea, Solanum tuberosum (potato
The substrate stereospecificity of NADH-ferricyanide reductase activities in the inner mitochondrial membrane and peroxisomal membrane of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers, spinach (Spinacea oleracea L.) leaf plasma membrane, and red beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) tonoplast were all specific for the
Abiotic stress factors, especially low temperatures, drought, and salinity, represent the major constraints limiting agricultural production in temperate climate. Under the conditions of global climate change, the risk of damaging effects of abiotic stresses on crop production increases. Plant
The effects of eight plant lectins on human neutrophils aggregation and H2O2 release were studied. Both processes were stimulated by lectins from Viscum album, Triticum vulgaris, Phaseolus vulgaris and Canavalia ensiformis while lectins from Solanum tuberosum, Sambucus nigra and Glycine mas
Crop productivity depends heavily on several biotic and abiotic factors. Plant annexins are a multigene family of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins that function in response to environmental stresses and signaling during growth and development of plants. We recently isolated and
High-through-put (HTP) screening for functional arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)-associations is challenging because roots must be excavated and colonization evaluated by transcript analysis or microscopy. Here we show that specific leaf-metabolites provide broadly applicable accurate proxies of
Our study is the first to provide RNA-Seq data analysis related to transcriptomic responses towards drought across different crops. The aim was to identify and map which genes play a key role in drought response on leaves across different crops. Forty-two RNA-seq samples were analyzed
