Phytochemical diversity with respect to a range of polar (including amino acids, organic acids, sugars, and sugar alcohols) and nonpolar (including fatty acids, alkanols, and sterols) metabolites was examined within tubers from a total of 29 genetically diverse potato cultivars and Chilean landraces
Suberin, a cell specific, wall-associated biopolymer, is formed during normal plant growth and development as well as in response to stress conditions such as wounding. It is characterized by the deposition of both a poly(phenolic) domain (SPPD) in the cell wall and a poly(aliphatic) domain (SPAD)
Biosynthesis of the aliphatic components of suberin was studied in suberizing potato (Solanum tuberosum) slices with [1-(14)C]oleic acid and [1-(14)C]acetate as precursors. In 4-day aged tissue, [1-(14)C]oleic acid was incorporated into an insoluble residue, which, upon hydrogenolysis (LiA1H(4)),
The qualitative and quantitative compositions of leaf cuticular waxes from potato (Solanum tuberosum) varieties were studied. The principal components of the waxes were very long chain n-alkanes, 2-methylalkanes and 3-methylalkanes (3.1-4.6 microg cm(-2)), primary alcohols (0.3-0.7 microg cm(-2)),
Seven ferulic acid esters of 1-alkanols ranging in carbon length from C16 to C28 were synthesized and an HPLC protocol for their separation developed. Extracts prepared from wound healing potato (Solanum tuberosum) tubers and analysed by HPLC indicated that alkyl ferulate esters begin to accumulate
Wound-induced suberin deposition involves the temporal and spatial coordination of phenolic and fatty acid metabolism. Phenolic metabolism leads to both soluble metabolites that accumulate as defense compounds as well as hydroxycinnamoyl derivatives that form the basis of the poly(phenolic) domain
Extensin is a glycoprotein that is rich in hydroxyprolines linked to β-L-arabinofuranosides. In this study, we cloned a hypBA2 gene that encodes a novel β-L-arabinobiosidase from Bifidobacterium longum JCM 1217. This enzyme does not have any sequence similarity with other glycoside hydrolase
