Tobacco vein banding mosaic virus (TVBMV) has been reported in Taiwan (1), North America (Tennessee) (2), and Japan (3) and induces a severe disease of tobacco. During surveys on viruses of vegetables in China, TVBMV was isolated from a Datura stramonium weed plant in July 1998 in Shaanxi Province.
S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase activity (SAMDC; EC 4.1.1.21) leads to spermidine and spermine synthesis through specific synthases which use putrescine, spermidine and decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine as substrates. In order to better understand the regulation of polyamine (PA), namely
The chemical defenses of plants are thought to play many different functional roles, all of which in some way decrease the costs of deploying the defense. However, few of these other functions have been tested with metabolites that are clearly defensive. Nicotine is a potent chemical defense with a
Datura stramonium is a well-known medicinal plant, which is important for its alkaloids. There are intrinsic limitations for the natural production of alkaloids in plants; metabolic engineering methods can be effectively used to conquer these limitations. In order for this the genes involved in
The localization of virus infection and development of local and systemic induced resistance in plants Nicotiana sanderae Hort., Datura stramonium L. and D. metel L. infected by TMV have been studied. It was shown that acquired resistance to the second infection is induced in hypersensitive plants
Ultrastructural examination of tobacco mosaic virus-induced local lesions developing in leaves of Datura stramonium plants demonstrated that, in the central area of the lesions, the cell response to viral invasion was not uniform. Most cells exhibited an acute hypersensitive reaction and underwent
Tobacco floral nectar (FN) is a biological fluid produced by nectaries composed of sugars, amino acids and proteins called nectarins, involved in the floral defense. FN provides an ideal source of nutrients for microorganisms. Understanding the role of nectar proteins is essential to predict impacts
Zamia furfuracea (Zamiaceae) is native of coastal Mexico. It is a popular houseplant and easy to grow outdoors in warm climates. In November 2005, a plant of Z. furfuracea, originally from Texas, was received at the Division of Plant Industry in Gainesville, FL. The plant had numerous chlorotic
It has been assumed that herbivores constitute a selective agent for the evolution of plant resistance. However, few studies have tested this hypothesis. In this study, we look at the annual weed Datura stramonium for evidence of current natural selection for resistance to herbivorous insects.
Safflower, Carthamus tinctorius L. (Asteraceae), is extensively cultivated in India, China, and other parts of Asia for edible oil, dyeing agent, and its medicinal value. In 2003, safflower entry (NARI-6) in the All-India Coordinated Research Project on Oilseeds (Safflower) grown in the experimental
In 1997, viruslike symptoms similar to those caused by potato potyvirus Y (PVY) were observed in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum ) plants of the cv. Basmas in the area of Drama (Macedonia) in northern Greece. Diseased plants showed vein clearing and necrosis of the petioles and main veins, and were
The complete amino acid sequence of [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin from Nicotiana tabacum has been determined by automated Edman degradation of the entire Cm-protein and of the peptides obtained by trypsin and Asp-N endoproteinase digestions. This ferredoxin exhibited 9, 10, 8, and 10 differences respectively
Tobacco streak virus (TSV) is an ilarvirus with a worldwide distribution. This virus infects many plants and causes significant yield losses. In this study, 300 samples of lettuce were collected from lettuce fields in Tehran Province. Infected plants show symptoms such as: mosaic, vein clearing,
